MB 401 Project Work 18

Semester – IV Project Work

Students have to take up a small research project under the supervision of a teacher from the department or may carry the work in an industry / NGO / private laboratory with required facility/other university or institution. If a student is doing project out side the university then the chemicals to carry out experiment shall be replaced to the institute where he/she carry out the experimental work. All other arrangements are to be made by the student. Student has to submit the dissertation before the last date for the submission as declared by the university.
