Students Project Programme
PSCST has initiated the Student Project Programme with a view to
provide financial support to final year B.E., MBBS, M.E., M.D and
M.Sc. students. The main objective and purpose of this programme
is to encourage the students and faculty members of the
engineering, medical colleges, polytechnics, universities and
research institutions to use their talent in various branches of
engineering, medical and basic sciences. This would help not only
in meeting the qualitative and quantitative standards of our
technical education but will also stimulate a number of students
and faculty members to apply their mind to local problems and
frame the project accordingly, which would be more beneficial to
the State. These projects are expected to be formulated by final
year students with the help of faculty which shall be financed by
the Punjab Govt. through PSCST. The duration of the project shall
not be more than a year and maximum financial support shall be
Rs.5,000/- per project. One of the important activities of this
programme is organization of a seminar-cum-exhibition every year
where selected projects shall be exhibited for the benefit of the
students and they are given an opportunity to explain their
project work in details. These projects after completion, shall be
evaluated by a subject expert in the respective field.
