Important Dates & Deliverables

Details

Read the basic Capstone Rules first. Registration of students/groups (at the final stage of 6th semester) for Capstone-I is done by submitting a project proposal according to the given template. The template is available on downloads page of this website. Proposal must be signed by all students, supervisor and co-supervisor (if any). Also include Turnitin report with your proposal. Submit proposal in soft form to your supervisor. The soft copy of project proposal will be submitted by the respective supervisor through Google forms during the 1st four weeks of every Semester.

Capstone registration is different from other courses registration, you register other courses directly with SSC by filling Course Registration or Add/Drop form, while Capstone-1 is registered by submitting proposal to Capstone Converner. So, you don’t need to mention Capstone-1 on course registration form when you register 7th semester courses with SSC.

Please note, Capstone-I WOULD NOT BE REGISTERED if you did not submitted proposal to Capstone Convener in given deadline.

After almost 1-2 weeks of proposal submission, you would be notified about proposal acceptance or rejection.

Once your proposal is accepted, you can’t change your project, group members, project or supervisor(s) without submitting Change Request Form (available at Downloads page of this site), subject to approval. Doing without getting approval from Capstone Convener Secretary may result in Capstone cancellation.

Capstone-1 is 2 credit course, so you should register maximum 19 credit hours courses with SSC. So that when Capstone Convener send your Capstone-I registration request, your credit hours do not increase from 21. If you ignored this rule, SSC may drop your any course, may be after couple of weeks from your registration. Here is the checklist for proposal submission:

  1. Proposal is prepared following the latest Proposal Template
  2. All group members names, registration numbers, emails, CGPAs and phone numbers are written on specified page
  3. All students’ signatures are done.
  4. Supervisor and Co-Supervisor’s (if any) name and designation is written and his/her signature are done
  5. Turnitin report is attached
  6. Gantt Chart is added into proposal
  7. The soft copy that you email shall contain all above-mentioned information.

At the end of 7th semester, Capstone-I report soft copy signed by the concerned supervisor will be submitted online according to the deadline. Before one week of final lab exams, the Capstone-I projects evaluation will be carried out by both the Supervisor and an Internal Examiner together. The students are required to prepare a presentation of their project work completed till Capstone-I. At this stage students are expected to complete most of their documentation/research and at least a prototype of their project.

  1. Students submit the soft copy of Capstone-II Report to their supervisor. The soft copy of project proposal will be submitted by the respective supervisor through Google forms.
  2. If students or supervisor feel the project is not ready for presentation, students can submit IP Request Form (signed by supervisor) to Capstone Committee Secretary. In this case, IP grade would be assigned to Capstone-II course of current semester and student would repeat Capstone-II in next semester.
