The students are required to undertake a project / internship in the last semester which should be for a
maximum duration of 180 days. The project/ internship should consist of a minimum of 130 days of
field work, followed by minimum of 30 days of report preparation. The area of work will be related to
the topics covered under the course and work will be decided by the students in consultatio n with faculty
members. A survey of literature and feasibility studies will be undertaken by the students, who plan to
undertake a project, during the third semester or during early part of fourth semester. Those who
undertake internship will undertake a b ackground study of the institution / organization where they plan
to complete their internship, during the third semester or during early part of fourth semester.
Each project will be supervised by a faculty member or a group of faculty members and experts. The
students will be guided time to time during the project. This exercise will provide the students with
valuable experience of proper planning, executing, eval uating and reporting a research project. The
students should be encouraged to publish the findings ( if possible ).

The faculty / team of experts will advise and monitor the students interning at different institutions or
organizations. This exercise will provide the students with valuable experience of planning, executing
and reporting various environment / conservation related projects / programmes and field work. The
students should be encouraged to interact with NGOs, corporates, governmental agencies, civil society
groups both national & international ( if possible ).

Project Planning & Execution

Students are required to submit a detailed proposal for their project / internship program before they
start the project / internship.
 The proposal for internship should cover the information of the organisation / institution where
the internship is planned, the area of work envisaged during the internships, the timelines of
internship, the justification for selecting the site for intern ship, the probable benefits that are
envisaged, the additional skill sets that would be gained and how the internship will help in
furthering the knowledge and skills of the student.
 The project proposal should include information pertaining to the area of work proposed, the
significance of the proposed work, its national, regional, local relevance, the potential
advancement in current knowledge in the area due to the project outcome, the risks, problems
and uncertain factors that may hinder the outcome o f the proposed project, alternate plans and
risk coverage plans, the financial outlay, external agencies / individuals whose experts may be
used in the project and the timelines of the proposed work (with a Gantt chart). The final project
should correlate with the proposed work and if not, adequate justification needs to be provided
for any deviation.
