Objective:
· To assess the debating capability of the student to present a technical topic. Also to impart training to
a student to face audience and present his/her ideas and thus creating self esteem and courage that
are essential for an engineer.
Individual students are required to choose a topic of their interest preferably from outside the M.Tech
syllabus and give a seminar on that topic about 45 minutes. A committee consisting of at least three
faculty members shall assess the presentation of the seminar and award marks to the students based
on merits of topic of presentation. Each student shall submit two copies of a write up of the seminar
topic. One copy shall be returned to the student after duly certifying it by the chairman of the
assessing committee and the other will be kept in the departmental library. Internal continuous
assessment marks are awarded based on the relevance of the topic, presentation skill, quality of the
report and participation.
