IGNOU MSCRWEE (MRWP002) Synopsis

Selection of topic by the student:

Synopsis of the project should be prepared in consultation with the local guide in the given format. The synopsis should clearly state the objective and research methodology of the proposed project to be undertaken. It should have full detail of the rationale, sampling, instrument to be used, limitations, if any, and future direction for further study, etc. as asked in the format. Students are advised to submit the synopsis in the 3rd semester.

Selection of Guide:

There will be two supervisors-one from School of Engineering and Technology (SOET), IGNOU

The supervisor will be responsible for guidance in preparing project proposal, actual performance and monitoring the progress of the work.

 (b) Each student will be allotted and attached with an internal supervisor from the faculty of SOET at the IGNOU headquarters depending on the project area. The supervisor will be responsible for guidance regarding problem formulation and methodology of the project selected by student apart from the evaluation.
