Overview

The final year of engineering for any student plays a very important role in his/her career. All the final year students are required to submit a project which will be assessed and on the basis of which marks will be given to every student. Now, it is necessary to choose a proper project as there is a possibility of the choice of project may be appropriate but the implementation might not be possible at all. Hence projects have to be chosen that are both ideally and practically appropriate. Making a choice for choosing a project is considered to be the hardest choice that the students have to make is what every final year student has to say. But when you have someone who is aiding you in your choice of making the right choice for the project then your hardship is reduced considerably. This is what VIT aims at by establishing the FINAL YEAR PROJECT QUALITY ASSURANCE COMMITTEE. It is also necessary that the projects that are chosen be of high quality because if the project turns out to a complete success and if the students are lucky enough to get their project report published then, it definitely adds and extra zest to their resumes which in turn has the power of shaping their careers
