One Stop Instructions

In the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of Daffodil International University (DIU), final year students are involved in development projects, research projects or internship works. There is no bindings for students so far in choosing any of the above mentioned area to complete the six credit requirements.

Semester-wise Project Timeline

For Day shift students, projects or internships will continue starting from L3-T3 and end after the completion of L4-T4, without exceptions.

Therefore, if you are a L3-T2 (Day) or 6th Semester (Evening) student, start planning for your project ideas, team members, and so on.

One Life!!! One Project!!! One Supervisor!!!

For your final year project or internship, you have to work under the kind supervision of any of the permanent faculty members of the CSE Department. On condition, you can work under some of our Adjunct Professor or Part-time faculty members, but they can be your co-supervisor. One supervisor and one co-supervisor will be assigned to each project team.

For finding general questions about Supervisor: Who could be my Supervisor?

While doing the registration for Title Defense in L3-T3, you have to provide three choices for your supervisor. Upon your project area chosen and expected supervisors criteria, the project/internship committee will assign a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

Team Formations

One specific project could be done by only one team. The Project/Internship committee will ensure that all the projects presented in the Title Defense are unique. For choosing a project try to take a recent topic like the real-life problem domain and its probable computerized solution. For a research project, try to cover the recent research areas and state-of-the-art conditions in that area. A novel methodology or improvement in existing methodologies would be a better contribution to your research. For an internship, you have to choose an IT company and have to work on some projects of that company. Your internship goal will be to earn practical experience by working in a professional environment.

For Development or Research Project:

• No of Team member: 1 to 3. Team members could be from different sections, but only one registration is enough for forming the team. No need to re-registration from each section.

For Internship:

• Internships are considered to be individual work. Internship teams will be one-man army.
