About AKTU project requirements
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), formerly known as Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU), is one of the largest technical universities in India. It affiliates over 700 engineering colleges across Uttar Pradesh. AKTU has well-defined project submission guidelines that students must follow for their final year projects.
The university conducts project evaluation in two phases: an internal evaluation by your college guide and an external evaluation by university-appointed examiners. Your project is evaluated based on the working demonstration, project report quality, presentation, and viva-voce performance.
AKTU project evaluation criteria
AKTU typically allocates project marks as follows for BTech CSE students:
- Internal evaluation (40-50%) — assessed by your project guide throughout the semester. Includes regular progress reviews, mid-semester demonstrations, and weekly report submissions.
- External evaluation (50-60%) — conducted by external examiners during the end-semester viva. Includes project demonstration, report review, PPT presentation, and Q&A session.
The total project marks for BTech students at AKTU are typically 100-150 marks, depending on the semester and whether it is a minor or major project.
AKTU synopsis requirements
Before starting your project, you must submit a synopsis in the format prescribed by AKTU. The synopsis should include:
- Project title and abstract (200-300 words)
- Student details with enrollment numbers
- Guide details with employee code
- Problem definition and objectives
- Proposed methodology
- Technology stack with justification
- Expected timeline (Gantt chart format)
- References in IEEE format
The synopsis must be approved by your project guide and head of department before you begin development. Some AKTU-affiliated colleges also require approval from the department's project committee.
AKTU project report format
AKTU prescribes a specific format for the final project report. Key specifications include:
- A4 paper, Times New Roman 12pt, 1.5 line spacing
- Left margin: 1.5 inches (for binding), other margins: 1 inch
- Black hardbound cover with gold lettering
- Two copies required — one for college library, one for student
- Chapter structure following the standard format (Introduction, Literature Survey, System Design, Implementation, Testing, Results, Conclusion)
- Minimum 50 pages for major projects, 30 pages for minor projects
Popular project topics for AKTU students
Based on recent AKTU submissions, these are the most popular and highest-scoring project domains:
- AI and machine learning — disease prediction, sentiment analysis, recommendation systems. These score well because they demonstrate current industry relevance.
- Web development — e-commerce platforms, social media applications, content management systems. Use Django or React for best results.
- Mobile applications — Flutter or React Native based apps for healthcare, education, or e-commerce. Cross-platform projects are preferred over native.
- IoT projects — smart home systems, health monitoring, agricultural automation. Require hardware components which impress evaluators.
- Blockchain — supply chain management, voting systems, certificate verification. Emerging domain that scores high novelty marks.
How CodeAj projects meet AKTU standards
Our projects are designed with Indian university requirements in mind. When you purchase a project from CodeAj for your AKTU submission:
- The project report follows the chapter structure expected by AKTU evaluators
- Documentation includes DFDs, ER diagrams, and use case diagrams
- Source code is clean, commented, and easy to explain during viva
- We provide free setup support to ensure your project runs during demonstration
- Viva preparation guide included with technology-specific questions
You will need to customize the cover page, certificate, and student details to match your college format. We provide guidance on this as well.
Tips for AKTU project submission
- Start early — AKTU typically requires regular progress submissions throughout the 7th semester (BTech) or final semester (MCA/BCA). Do not wait until the last month.
- Attend all review meetings — internal evaluation marks depend heavily on your attendance and participation in project reviews.
- Practice your demo — the external examiner will ask you to demonstrate specific features. Your project must work on the demo day.
- Keep backup copies — save your code on GitHub, Google Drive, and a USB drive. Hardware failures before submission are common.
- Follow the prescribed format exactly — AKTU evaluators check formatting compliance. Deviation can cost marks.
