Guidelines for Presentation:
Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering Page 7
PCTE Institute of Engineering and Technology
Presentation will be held during the semester about which you will be informed well in advance. The rules for
presentation are :
Evaluation Criteria for Presentations:
Max. Marks: 20
Break-up of marks will be as follows:
Synopsis: 3 Marks
Presentation Skills: 6 Marks
Content: 6 Marks
Query handling: 5 Marks
• Bibliography is a must.
• PPT is compulsory for the presentation
• The standard template is to be followed for both the synopsis and the PPTs which is available on IMS.
• Out of all the presentations of a class, one presentation should be a group presentation and one presentation should be
without any aid.
• Students must be dressed formally on the day of the presentation. No student should be allowed to deliver the
presentation in informal dress.
• Sequence of presentation will be completely random.
Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering Page 8
PCTE Institute of Engineering and Technology
• If a student is absent when his name is called out, he/she will be awarded Reappear.
• A total of 6 sessions will be held during one and half days of each presentation. It is mandatory for each student to
attend at least 5 sessions failing which he/she will be evaluated out of 50% marks only.
• In case of small classes where presentation is concluded in one day only, it is mandatory for each student to attend
atleast 3 sessions out of 4.
Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering Page 9
PCTE Institute of Engineering and Technology
Session Timings for Presentations:
• 9.00 AM – 11.00 AM
• 11.30 AM- 1.30 PM
• 2.30 PM- 4.40 PM
• Attendance will be marked within the first five minutes of start of each session. Fourth attendance will be taken after
the last presentation of the day.
Evaluation of the presentation would be done out of 50% marks if:
• Student failed to deliver the presentation on the scheduled date when his/her name was announced due to any of the
following reasons:
a) Student is registered but absent(even for medical reasons)
b) Student is not in the strict formals
c) Student’s attendance is less than 5 out of 6 sessions.
d) Student has got a repeat as his/her content ( & research) was not upto the mark.
Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering Page 10
PCTE Institute of Engineering and Technology
Present will be marked only for those students who will be present at all the times during which the attendance will be taken.
It is COMPULSORY for all the students to deliver the Presentation in order to clear the Internals of that subject.
The students will get attendance according to the number of sessions attended by that student.
