1. Purpose of study/ Relevance of the topic :  (3 marks)

 Choose the topic wisely. It would be easier to take a topic from the syllabus itself. Justify why you have chosen the topic. What is the significance of the project? State the Aim and Objectives of the Study and the methodology used.

About 5-6 pages;  hand-written pages including the introduction, relevance and scope of the topic. Make sure to make it look interesting and sensible.

2.  Content of the project: (6 marks)

 Describe the content of the project in detail, covering all aspects of the topic comprehensively. About 20-30  handwritten pages of properly researched, organized and edited content.

·         Note: It is a project and not a thesis. Be precise and cover the project topic thoroughly. The content page limit would depend on the nature of the project. However, ideal size may be 12 or 15 pages excluding the purpose of study. It’s okay if you have only 10 -12 pages but the topic must be fully covered.

·         Case studies are a must for most topics. A single detailed case study or brief mention of 2 -3 case studies (or relevant examples of market situations) etc are essential to make the project relevant and comprehensive.

·         In certain topics, there are interesting related studies . Research and include such studies.

·         Conclude/ summarise with your observations/ final analysis/ recommendations/ suggestions (if any) Also include Student’s views/perception/ opinion and learning from the topic. (about 2- 3 pages}
