ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Q: My dissertation is still in its initial stages. Is it possible for me to present?
A: Absolutely. The idea of the dissertation colloquium is to provide you with valuable feedback even if your research is preliminary – you may even get inputs for extending your findings!

Q: What should be the format of the presentation?
A: You would ideally be expected to be prepared with presentation for not more than 20 minutes, following which there would be a Q & A session for maximum 10 minutes. The contents could be a short description of your topic, methodology, your preliminary finding, and possible conclusions.

Q: What should I bring along for my presentation?
A: Just your USB flash drive containing your PowerPoint slides or anything else that you might need to refer to while presenting.
