2.3 PROJECT WORK

The purpose of introducing project work is to enable the students to apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes, acquired during the entire course, to the solution of specific problems related to practical world of work. It is expected that students will be sent to various organisations at a stretch for 8 weeks and be asked to take up any live problem of the organisation as project work. Students may also be given option to take up entrepreneurial projects and projects related to environment/ ecology and waste management/utilisation. The project identification should be done by the students in consultation with teachers and personnel from the organisations where the student is going to undertake the project activity on the basis of basic principle; “problem needing to immediate solution”. Each teacher should guide 3 – 4 students for project work throughout this activity. The students will have to go through all the steps of problem solving such as defining the problem, analysis of the problem, collection of required information and resources, formulating alternatives, selecting best solution and reduction in practice.

The project work aims at, besides developing problem solving abilities in the students, development of confidence and expertise in a particular field. The student may get training to analyse the problem, use of instruments, use of techniques and orientation of learning experiences towards their applications in the world of work. Some of the suggested projects are given below:

PLANT TISSUE CULTURE

Initiation of a culture and finally production of plant in tissue culture system

These are only some of the suggestive projects, infact, students can totally ignore this list and identify projects with the help of their teachers/personnel from industry/organisation.

Students will be assessed on the basis of the project report and viva voce examination by internal and external examiners on the pattern suggested below:
