सवाल
Which syllabus is followed?
The AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) MBA syllabus of Research Project (Semester 4). If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus and units.
How is the research project different from the summer internship project?
The summer project is based on training in an organisation; the research project is an independent study with hypotheses and statistical testing done in the final semester.
Will the centre do the project for me?
No. The trainer guides you at every milestone; the work, report and viva answers must be your own.
