Key takeaways
- Amity BBA project work is graded out of 100: 70 marks for the written report, 30 marks for viva voce.
- Plagiarism is checked before evaluation—reports above 15% similarity are rejected, not graded.
- Evaluators assess topic relevance, methodology, analysis depth, APA formatting, and viva answers together.
Amity Online BBA project work is evaluated out of 100 marks split between the written project report (70 marks) and viva voce (30 marks). A plagiarism check runs before evaluation. Reports exceeding 15% plagiarism are rejected and not graded. Evaluation typically takes four to six weeks after complete submission of all three stages.
Mark distribution
- Project report: 70 marks
- Viva voce: 30 marks
- Total: 100 marks
Both components are mandatory. A strong report with weak viva answers—or strong viva answers with a poorly formatted report—will lower your total score.
What evaluators assess in the project report (70 marks)
Although Amity's published guidelines specify the mark split rather than a detailed rubric, the official project work framework defines what the report must demonstrate. Evaluators typically assess:
- Topic selection: relevance to business or technology, alignment with BBA specialization, originality
- Extended abstract quality: critical literature review, clear methodology, stated hypotheses where applicable
- Research methodology: appropriate design (descriptive, conclusive, causal, or exploratory), valid sampling, justified data collection tools
- Data analysis: classification, tabulation, hypothesis testing, and interpretation of results
- Critical thinking: recommendations based on analysis, not generic business advice
- Theoretical and practical implications: contribution to academic knowledge and real-world application
- Formatting compliance: APA 6th edition, running head, word count (15,000–30,000), title within 12 words
- Document completeness: certificates, plagiarism report, proper citations for all figures and tables
What evaluators assess in the viva (30 marks)
- Understanding of your own research problem, objectives, and scope
- Ability to explain methodology choices (sampling, tools, analysis)
- Clarity on findings and how they connect to your hypotheses or research questions
- Quality of written answers to five descriptive, project-specific questions
- Depth of knowledge beyond what is written in the report
Viva questions are five descriptive questions related to your specific project—not generic BBA questions. They become accessible only after you upload your project report. Final submission requires all five answers.
Plagiarism as a pass/fail gate
Plagiarism checking is not part of the 70-mark grading—it is a prerequisite. If your report exceeds 15% plagiarism (below 85% originality), it is rejected before evaluation begins. No marks are awarded. You must revise and resubmit per university rules.
Skills Amity intends to evaluate
Amity frames BBA project work as Project Based Learning designed to develop:
- Conceptual skills: understanding business theories and applying them to real problems
- Analytical skills: interpreting data and drawing evidence-based conclusions
- Communication skills: writing a structured, APA-formatted academic report
- Interpersonal skills: working with a qualified project guide and defending work in viva
Evaluation timeline
- Complete submission = Stage 1 + Stage 2 + Stage 3 all finished
- Evaluation period: generally four to six weeks
- Email intimation sent to registered email on successful upload at each stage
How to maximize your evaluation score
- 1Choose an original, focused topic with feasible data access
- 2Write a strong extended abstract before the full report—evaluators may reference it
- 3Justify every methodology choice with citations and logic
- 4Present data with APA 6th formatted tables and interpreted findings
- 5Keep plagiarism below 15% with proper paraphrasing and citations
- 6Prepare viva answers that explain your project in your own words, not copied from the report
