How Is the Amity MBA Project Evaluated? Marks, Viva & Stages Explained

Amity Online evaluates MBA final-year projects out of 100 marks: 70 for the written project report and 30 for the viva voce. Evaluation begins only after all three submission stages are complete—extended abstract with guide resume, full report with plagiarism report and certificates, and five viva answers. Plagiarism is checked before grading; reports exceeding 15% similarity are rejected and not evaluated until resubmitted.

Short answer

• Total marks: 100 (report 70 + viva 30)
• Submission stages: 3 (extended abstract → full report → viva answers)
• Plagiarism gate: 85% minimum originality before grading
• Evaluation timeline: generally 4–6 weeks after complete submission

How many marks is the Amity MBA project worth?

• Project report: 70 marks
• Viva voce: 30 marks
• Total: 100 marks

What are the three submission stages?

1. 1Stage 1: Extended abstract (3,000–5,000 words) + project guide resume
2. 2Stage 2: Full project report (15,000–30,000 words) + plagiarism report + signed certificates
3. 3Stage 3: Five descriptive viva answers (unlocked after Stage 2 report upload)

Final submission is accepted only when Stage 2 is complete and all five viva questions in Stage 3 are answered. Uploading the report alone does not complete submission.

What is evaluated in the project report (70 marks)?

Evaluators assess your written MBA submission against Amity's project work guidelines. The report is expected to demonstrate:

• Original, relevant topic aligned with MBA specialization
• Critical literature review and clear theoretical framework
• Justified research methodology—design, sampling, data collection, and analysis
• Data interpretation with managerial implications and recommendations
• Compliance with word limits (15,000–30,000 words) and title rules (12 words max)
• APA 6th edition formatting with running head, citations, and references
• Complete certificates, plagiarism report, and cited figures/tables

What is evaluated in the viva (30 marks)?

The viva consists of five descriptive written questions generated for your specific MBA project. Evaluators assess whether you understand your own objectives, methodology, findings, and recommendations—not generic management knowledge.

When does plagiarism checking happen?

Amity conducts a plagiarism check before evaluation for all project report submissions. Minimum required originality: 85%. Maximum allowed similarity: 15%. Reports failing this threshold are rejected before report marks are assigned.

How long does Amity take to evaluate an MBA project?

Evaluation generally takes four to six weeks after complete submission—all three stages finished and confirmation email received. Incomplete submissions (missing viva answers or documents) are not fully evaluated until resolved.
