The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) council has decided to make the B.Tech final year projects optional for students of B.Tech program. Till now the final year project submission for B.Tech students was compulsory. Now the students will have a choice between either submitting a final year project or studying an elective subject after consulting the faculty members.
The decision was finalized after some of the faculties claimed that only students with keen interest in projects should be allowed to opt for it. In addition, from now onwards only a single student will work on a project in contrast to a group of students working on the same project. The institute expects that only self-motivated individuals can work all alone on a good project within 4 months’ of time.
Sources from IIT-M reveal that students disinterested in projects can choose any of the simulation-based or a theory-based paper, which will be more beneficial for them. The students will be required to consult their faculties for taking up the electives, which are related to their subject of specialization. However, students enrolled in Dual Degree and M.Tech programs will have to do their projects as part of their programs.
