Process of Project Based Course
The project based course will be in the form of a disse rtation based on a live project or a research
assignment related to the specific discipline of the p sychology department.
Every Teacher from Psychology department/MA Centers will announce four to five broad topics at the
beginning of the second semester, reflecting degree of relevance and rigor suitable to a post graduate
programme, along with an indicative reading list. These will be screened by the Board of Stu dies in the
subject and a final list of approved topics along with a reading list will be displayed in the first week of
the third semester.
The student will submit a list of his/her three most preferred topics in the order of preference by the
fifth week of the third semester to the Head of the parent dep artment.
The Departments a project committee consisting of the Head of the Department (Chairperson) and two
other teachers from the department. The purpose of this committee is to oversee the fu nctioning of the
project component in the department.
Page 81

All post graduate teachers in the Department will be guides for the p roject component. A ll teachers shall
have equal number of students allotted for the dissertation.
In case, a partic ular topic is preferred by more students, the project committee will allocate students to
guides within the department in order of the average of marks obtained in semesters 1 and 2.
If it is felt necessary, the p roject committee can assign a co-guide to a student, d epending upon specific
disciplinary needs.
The student will make a preliminary presentat ion in or before the seventh week of the fourth semester. The
presentat ion will be attended by the g uide/s and a committee consisting of two other teachers from the
depa rtment. The committee will make necessary suggestions to improve the dissertation.
The student will make a final presentation in the 10th to the 12th week of semester four. The presentation
will be evaluated by the same committee that evaluated the preliminary presentation. The criteria for
evaluation will be as follows:
i) 10 marks for the q uality of presentat ion
ii) 15 marks for answers to questions
The marks g iven by the three members of the evaluation committee will be averaged in each head a nd
the total marks decided by totalling the averages under the three heads.
Dissertation Submission
The student will su bmit a bound hard copy of the dissertation to the Department by the end of the
fourth semester, along with a soft copy on a CD/DVD.
The final dissertation will have a word limit of 5000-8000 words and will be typed in one and a half
