Diploma (MSBTE K-scheme) projects
- Micro-projects in most courses every semester: small, group-based and assessed in the term work
- Industrial training (ITR) after the fourth semester with a daily diary and report: see the MSBTE ITR format
- Capstone project in the final year: a working project, black book and presentation; see diploma project ideas and the black book format
- After the diploma, many students take direct second year engineering (DSE) admission
Degree engineering projects (B.E / B.Tech)
Browse branch-wise topics with components and cost in the project catalogue, for example ESP32 projects, robotics projects and machine learning projects.
| Stage | Usual semester | What is assessed |
|---|---|---|
| Mini project / PBL | Second and third year | A small build that applies one subject; report and demo |
| Project stage I | Seventh | Problem statement, literature survey, design, synopsis and a review presentation |
| Project stage II | Eighth | Implementation, testing, results, black book, paper (often encouraged) and the final viva |
Architecture (B.Arch) in Maharashtra
B.Arch colleges in Maharashtra are affiliated to the same universities and follow Council of Architecture norms. The final year is a design thesis with a site study, case studies, design, sheets, a model and a jury. Start with architecture thesis topics, architectural drawings and the architecture glossary; Maharashtra bye-laws are covered by UDCPR, which juries often ask about.
Project guidance by city
We work with students across Maharashtra online and meet in Pune: Pune, Mumbai, Nashik, Nagpur, Kolhapur and the rest of Maharashtra.
FAQs
Which university is my engineering college under in Maharashtra?
Most colleges are affiliated to the university of their region, for example SPPU for Pune, Ahilyanagar and Nashik, Mumbai University for the Konkan and Mumbai region, and Shivaji University for Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara. Many colleges across the state are affiliated to DBATU. Your college's website and marksheet name the university.
Is the black book format the same for every Maharashtra university?
The chapter order is similar (introduction, literature survey, design, implementation, testing, conclusion), but certificate pages, margins and fonts differ. Follow your department's template; see our <a href="/project-report-black-book">black book guide</a>.
What is the capstone project in MSBTE?
In the K-scheme the capstone project is the final-year diploma project, done in groups, with a working project, a black book and a presentation assessed internally and externally.
Can Project Buddyy help students outside Pune?
Yes. Most guidance happens online over WhatsApp and video calls, with hardware couriered when needed, so students from every Maharashtra district work with us.
