|
| Project Work |
| Project Work will be of six months duration under the guidance of IIT professors and BHEL engineers. Selection and assignment of projects will be done by students, faculty from IIT Madras and BHEL specialists. Project selection will focus on practical application of techniques and methods taught as part of the curriculum. BHEL's specialist welding engineers will be appointed as project guides for each student. |
