Project work guidelines
Everything you need to know about Amity's project submission rules — format, word count, plagiarism limits, evaluation scheme and viva requirements.
What is Project Based Learning?
Project Based Learning (PBL) is Amity's application of a comprehensive methodology to inculcate the spirit of strategizing industry operations in a real-time environment. The project aims to foster students with an opportunity to develop conceptual, analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills.
The topic you choose must be relevant to business or technology, related to one or more subjects within your core program and specialization, and clearly focused enough to allow in-depth study. It should also be of genuine value to your personal and professional development.
Note: distinguish between 'project work topic' (the area to investigate) and 'project work title' (finalized after writing to reflect actual content).
Evaluation scheme
| Component | Marks |
|---|---|
| Project Report | 70 |
| Viva | 30 |
| Total | 100 |
Evaluation typically takes 4–6 weeks after submission.
Three-stage process
Complete project submission
Extended Abstract + Guide Resume
Submit 3,000–5,000 words covering the abstract (500–1,000 words), hypotheses, literature review, research methodology, results, and implications of theory and practice. Include your project guide's resume.
Project Report + Plagiarism Report
Submit the full 15,000–30,000-word report with a plagiarism certificate confirming ≥ 85% originality. Reports exceeding 15% plagiarism are automatically rejected for resubmission.
