industry (chosen firm/organization) for a period of minimum of 8 weeks duration.
2. Weekly reports must be submitted to the mentors and a record of correspondences is to be
maintained for further reference.
3. Students must seek and obtain a formal certificate of completion from the
company/organization that needs to be presented at the time of viva-voce and subsequently
added to the report.
4. The project will culminate in a report being developed and submitted to the mentor in IMCU
(template is attached and also could be found in Academic Standards Handbook).
5. The report must be original. Any form of plagiarism, academic collusion will not be
acceptable and be treated objectively as per University policy.
6. A similarity index (turnitin report) of more than 20% will be unacceptable.

Towards the end of the second trimester/the beginning of the third trimester, the students are expected
to identify a company and area of work as per the specialization chosen. In the third trimester, the
students are supposed to finalize the SIP project in consultation with their corporate mentor approved
by the academic mentor. Students are required to undergo a minimum of 6 weeks of SIP. The students
are required to produce the Initial Information Report giving the details of the project, company and
corporate mentor before the end of the first week of their joining. The student will need to be in
constant touch with the academic mentor explaining the progress of SIP. For weekly updates on SIP, a
section corresponding to each week will be created in Moodle, the Learning Management System
(LMS).
Evaluation of SIP
SIP will be evaluated under three major heads; weekly updates, compliance to the format and content
of the report, and performance in viva voce.
Weekly Update
The student is expected to provide weekly updates to the academic mentor to enable him to check the
efficacy of the SIP process. Since weekly updates will act as the primary source for the academic
mentor to provide guidance to the students, they must be as detailed and specific as possible.

Once the SIP is over, students are required to make a detailed report of their learning during the SIP.
The report will serve as the primary document based on which the viva voce will be conducted. The
contents and evaluation rubric for the report is given below.
Parameters 3 2 1
Viva voce
The final stage of evaluation of SIP is the viva voce. The viva voce is done to complement the other
evaluation criteria. The fundamental objective of viva voce is to check the credibility of claims made
by the candidate in the SIP report, and to examine the veracity of the content. The student will be asked
to make a short presentation of the SIP before the examiner(s). The student is expected to satisfactorily

MASTER THESIS
Master Thesis is an optional three-credit research based course that is done by students during
their 5th and 6th trimesters. The course is open to all MBA students including those in G and V
sections. A guide is allocated to every student to advise and guide him/her in conducting literature
review, formulating the research problem, collection of data, analysis and preparation of report.
1. To familiarize the students with the concept of questioning the existing ideas/ frameworks
2. To help the students to get trained in report making which focuses on problem solving based on
3. To prepare the student for a consulting career .Consultancy firms do research in diverse areas

i) Selection of topics should be more relevant to the latest business area. There should be novelty in any
ii) Topics that have been already researched extensively should not be taken up as it does not contribute
The problem can be stated clearly and concisely. It is tested by writing it as a concise sentence
The problem generates research questions. It refers to the formulation of specific questions
It is grounded in theory. Good problems have theoretical and or/conceptual frameworks for their
analysis. It relates to the specifics of what is being investigated to a more general background of
It has a base in the research literature. It often relates to a well-defined body of literature written
It has potential significance or importance. The problem must have importance to the researcher
Sufficient data are available or can be obtained. Data to address the problem should be
accessible. There may be some restrictions on the environment and some other factors.
The researcher's methodological strengths can be applied to the problem. Some problems are
related to standard methodology. The researcher should have the inclination towards the
methodology to be used
Review of Literature
The literature used should support the researchers arguments relating to his/her research
question and aim and objectives of the study. It should uphold methodology. The literature
review should be comprehensive and up-to-date. Recent literature (not older than five years) is
4. How relevant are these conclusions today generally and also for your research?
5. How will your research build on this previous research and how is it similar or
different?
6. What theories, models or practices are particularly relevant to prepare or analyze your
research topic?
The literature review chapter should be concluded with a subsection- summary wherein the
common threads and gaps are to be clearly identified. A detailed literature review should lead
should be used from the beginning of thesis work and it has to be followed conscientiously.
Methodology
The research methodology has to be predominantly survey based research and primary data.
The use of secondary data will be encouraged only if valid justifications are provided. The

the best suited to fit your research question? Why a particular method was chosen (e.g.
quantitative survey rather than qualitative case studies).How this approach suited the

g. Limitations - What were the limitations of this study and how did you overcome these
limitations?
Analysis
1. Use of descriptive statistics alone should not be allowed.
2. Hypothesis testing has to be encouraged.
3. Analysis should be done using SPSS/ Excel or any other tool appropriate for the study
Qualitative research alone should not be encouraged. However, a mixed methodology approach
order.
2. Analysis of data is conducted through the identification of themes. The research tools in
and observations. These produce a mass of data which sometimes can be difficult to sift.
A useful way to process this data is to keep the research question(s) in mind, to read
through the data a couple of times until particular issues or themes present themselves.
3. Evidence is usually in form of quotations from the subjects being studied, discussions of
4. You may find that there is evidence of difference of opinion. Include variations in
opinion and describe poles of belief. These add richness to qualitative research.
1. As a preliminary to working out results, any test given must be scored, data inputted into
the appropriate computer programme and additional material gained from the sample
must be sorted out. This is often purely mechanical work, and it takes time but must be
done accurately.
2. The data presented must not be in their raw form. The only time you would ever
describe data on individual subjects is when you have done a case study.
histograms, bar graphs are simple but effective ways in which to present condensed
data.
4. There should be clear link between output tables and interpretation of the outputs. The
SPSS (or any other software) output should not be directly copied and pasted in the final
report. In the tables, only relevant outputs are to be reported and all the reported outputs
are to be interpreted in relation to the research objectives. All the tables and figures
included in the report should be referred in the main text (For eg. Refer Table 1.1) itself
Discussion
1. While discussing the results, they should be linked to the literature review (chapter 2) rather
than simply reporting the study results. It should be discussed how similar/ different is your
similarity/difference.
2. The implications of the study should be discussed at two levels- academic implications and
industry implications
Reporting
1. The thesis should be of minimum 70 pages (20000 words) and maximum 100 pages (25000
words).
4. The reporting (formatting, styling, structure of report) should be in adherence to the guidelines
