URE002
A student undertakes the Student Project work under the guidance of a faculty,
similar to any other student project. However, URE002 is awarded to truly
exceptional quality and quantum of research work carried out by an individual
student in lieu of his/her Student Project. If the Student Project Evaluation
Committee feels that the student has carried out project work substantially
higher than what is normally expected from a B.Tech. student project, then,
the project work may be referred to a bigger Committee constituted under the
Director of the programme School with at least one external expert, preferably
from a reputed Institution like IIT or IISc. If this Committee certifies that the
work carried out by the student is exceptional in extent and quality, then, the
project shall be recommended for URE002 award.
URE003
Students who opt for fast track and meet all their course and credit
requirements as specified in their curriculum will have less credit load when
they reach their 7
th
semester (only Student Project may be left to be
completed). Such students, still maintaining a CGPA of 9.00 and above, may
opt to work in an existing research project available in the University which is
related to his/her programme of specialization in lieu of his/her Student
Project. The research work should be carried out for a minimum period of one
year with adequate originality in work. This research oriented project work is
expected to result in a high quality journal publication. Such Student Projects
will be evaluated by a separate evaluation committee constituted in line with
the M.Tech. Student Project Evaluation Committee. Considering the quantum
and quality of work put
in by the student, project work may be recommended
for URE003 award
URE004
The objective of URE004 is to bring out the innovative capability of student,
independent of his/ her specialization, and give credit to their ideas and quality
and quantum of work carried out at the University. It will be of “open project”
concept with 3 credits weightage and can be carried out any time within the
programme period. Students who carry out such innovative projects have been
winning laurels by participating events held during GraVITas or competitions
held at IIT/ IISc/ NIT/ reputed Universities/ Industries within the country and
abroad. To get credit to their work, such students may apply to the ‘URE004
Evaluation Committee’ (similar to that of URE001) under the Director of
programme School which will evaluate the project outcomes and if found to
have made significant contribution, then, recommend URE004 award to the
student(s).
Only projects carried out at VIT will qualify under URE001. Mere winning of
a prize/ award/ certificate in a competition held by any educational institution/
R&D organization/ industry/ association will not be justifying/ qualifying for
URE004 award. A maximum of 10 students are permitted to form a single
group and carry out a single project. In case of group projects, the individual
