Review Presentation (RP): The concerned faculty member shall provide the list of peer reviewed Journals
and Tier-I and Tier-II Conferences relating to the subject (or relating to the area of thesis for seminar) to the
students in the beginning of the semester. The same list will be uploaded on GTU website during the first
two weeks of the start of the semester. Every student or a group of students shall critically study 2 papers,
integrate the details and make presentation in the last two weeks of the semester. The GTU marks entry
portal will allow entry of marks only after uploading of the best 3 presentations. A unique id number will be
generated only after uploading the presentations. Thereafter the entry of marks will be allowed. The best 3
presentations of each college will be uploaded on GTU website.
