Research Project Evaluation

Department of Computer Applications, NIT, Trichy

Various Stages of a Project

• Analysis

• Design

• Implementation and Testing (Theory/Experiment/Simulation)

• Documentation

• Evaluation

• * for each stage they will have to submit some deliverables in the form of Literature Survey, Hypothesis Testing, Presenting the results and Paper Write-up, Code etc.
