1. How can I choose a project?
List of available projects is generally shared with the faculty advisors who provide their consent to be a part of the ELP. Faculty can then select projects depending as per their areas of expertise through an online bidding system. However, final decision of project allocation lies with the ELP Steering Committee.

2. How will students choose their Faculty Advisors and Projects?
Once the ELP projects are assigned to faculty advisors, students contact them on an immediate basis to have details about the allocated projects. Details of faculty advisors and the projects are generally uploaded on the ELP website soon after they are distributed among faculty members. Students are required to meet or coordinate with you to opt for a particular project. You have all the right to select a student group of your choice after meeting all the groups.
