Inspiration

Dissertations are a crucial part of the post-graduation curriculum. Research is the best way to gain theoretical as well as practical knowledge and to explore endless possibilities. However, we see some flaws in the current system for dissertation submission. It lacks convenience, punctuality and transparency. There is a need for an online dissertation monitoring system to ensure that the process is hassle-free and is done within a set time. So why not have a platform that allows the Universities and Colleges to manage and monitor the PG Dissertation Process

What it does

College Registration and Curriculum Setup: The PG Coordinator registers the college and defines the dissertation curriculum for each branch.
Guide Selection and Mapping: Students select their domain preferences for the dissertation. Guide-Student mapping is automated while maintaining the Student-Guide ratio, subject to final approval by the PG Coordinator.
Thrust Idea Submission and Selection: Students submit thrust idea(s) to their guides. Guides review and rank the thrust ideas and give feedback and suggestions. Plagiarism Check of the finalised Thrust Idea is done. The final thrust idea is submitted to the committee for approval, and upon approval, it becomes the selected topic for the dissertation.
Research Progress Management: Students update their research progress based on the timeline set by the PG Coordinator. Guides review and provide feedback, ensuring continuous progress.
Publication: Students submit links to their publications, particularly those stemming from dissertation research, if required by the college.
Final Report Submission: Students can submit their final dissertation reports if they have met all the criteria for research progress and publications, subject to approval by the dissertation committee. The submitted report undergoes a plagiarism check before proceeding to evaluation.
