Questions
What does Research Project-II include?
It completes the Semester 5 project into a full dissertation (usually 40-60 pages or as fixed by the department) followed by a viva.
Which syllabus is followed?
The UP NEP 2020 B.A English research project guidelines. The centre follows the student's own university syllabus (MGKVP, VBSPU, Lucknow University or any other) where it differs from this outline.
Can I change my topic in Semester 6?
Usually the topic is continued from Semester 5; any change needs the supervisor's approval.
How does the centre help?
Through chapter-wise guidance, citation checks, language editing advice and mock viva, while the writing remains the student's own.
