All the Final Year students are required to show their projects - and/ or posters relating to the project - at a Fair, to be organized by every College/ Institute/ Polytechnic..

GUIDELINES:
This Fair should be open to all the students and the faculty of the college and all the neighboring industries. The Fair should be announced at least a week in advance and an open invitation may be issued by the College so that parents of the students, alumni and any other citizens may be able to visit the Fair. The invitation to the public should also be announced through the web-site of the College/ Institute/ Polytechnic. For all final year students, taking part in the Fair should be considered a necessary part of the term-work. 25% of the marks of the Term-work may be allocated for it. The Faculty Member, who is guiding the project, jointly with another faculty member appointed by the Head of the Department for the purpose, should allocate the marks. (If a College/ Institute/ Polytechnic has already conducted such a Fair during this semester, every student group may be asked to make presentation before its class. Out of the 25% of the marks of the Term-work, the marks may be allocated jointly by the faculty guide for the project and another faculty member appointed by the Head of the Department for the purpose.)

For each branch, a team of experts, having a good mix of Senior Professors from the same college, the neighboring colleges/ institutes/ polytechnics, and experts from the Industry, should be invited to judge these projects at the Fair and to choose the best three from each department. The list of the best three projects of each department, selected by the committee, should be compiled and sent to GTU through mail immediately after the Fair is over by the college authority, along with the report /work done by the department/college for successfully organizing the Fair. In addition to the above college/department need to make a list of projects in which the proposed solution /innovation/project is being implemented or going to be used by industry/SME/User and send this list of projects to GTU in e mail along with other documents as mentioned above.
