IGNOU MAEC Project (MECP 301, MECP 201 and MECP 202): Synopsis, Report and Reference Sets

IGNOU MAEC Project: MECP 301 for New Admissions, MECP 201 or 202 for Running Batches

IGNOU MA Economics project work now runs under three codes. Which code you write on your proposal decides which guide you follow, how many marks the viva carries and which project fee slab you pay. The code appears in the course list of your own registration, so read it there first, then use this list:

• MECP-301 on your registration: you are in the restructured three-group scheme (A Data Analytics, B Insurance and Finance, C Social Policy). The section on MECP 301 project work below sets out what is fixed and what is still open.
• MECP-202 on your registration: you are in Group A (Data Analytics) or Group D (Social Policy) of the four-group scheme, and the October 2024 MECP-202 Project-Work Guide is your rulebook.
• MECP-201 on your registration: you are in Group B (Energy and Environmental Economics) or Group C (Insurance and Finance) of the four-group scheme, and the MECP-201 Project-Work Guide applies.
• MECP-101 or MECP-102 on an old document: IGNOU’s 2024-25 MAEC assignment file says these codes “have been changed to MECP 201 and MECP 202 respectively”, so you work under the new code.

At our counter the split is easy to see. Students who have just taken admission to MA Economics show MECP 301 as the project code in their course list, while students already enrolled in the running batches hold MECP 201 or MECP 202. Bring the code from your own registration when you ask us about a set.

Six MA Economics Project PDF Sets and the Group Each Suits

This IGNOU MAEC Project category holds six soft copy reference sets, each a synopsis and a project report on one study, delivered as a PDF. Each MA Economics project PDF shows how a finished proposal and report are laid out. They are study references, not documents to submit.

Tell us your code, we will point to the set

MECP 201 Project Work, MECP 202 Project Work and MECP 301 Side by Side

The IGNOU MAEC Project follows one procedure under MECP-201 and MECP-202, but the numbers differ, and MECP-301 is so far defined only by the prospectus. The table sets the IGNOU MAEC project guidelines for MECP 201 project work and MECP 202 project work beside the July 2026 prospectus entry for MECP-301, row by row.

Fee mix-ups reach our desk regularly. A MECP-202 or MECP-301 student is in the Rs 300 slab because the course carries 4 credits; the Rs 500 slab belongs to the 6-credit MECP-201. Check the credit value on your registration before you fill the examination form.

Students often ask us whether the MAEC proposal and report can go in one envelope near the last date. They cannot: in both MECP guides the proposal travels first to the Programme Coordinator, and the report goes to the Student Evaluation Division only after approval, carrying your supervisor’s signature on Annexure C.

Does MECP-201 or MECP-202 carry a viva? That question comes to us often. Both guides answer yes: the viva is one of the two evaluation components, marked separately from the report.

Is the IGNOU MAEC Project Compulsory in Semester IV?

No. The IGNOU MAEC Project is optional. Both 2024 guides say that “under each group of specialization, one of the optional courses is project work”, and the credit arithmetic in the July 2026 prospectus leaves room to complete Semester IV without it.

• Semester IV asks for 20 credits from one group.
• Group A lists 24 credits, Groups B and C list 28 credits each, and every group includes the 4-credit MECP-301.
• A student can therefore reach 20 credits with or without the project, subject to the courses on offer in that session.

The MECP-202 guide adds a rule worth knowing before you opt in. A proposal returned for revision gets a maximum of two revision chances, and a student who still does not satisfy the Faculty “will be required to complete another optional course in lieu of the project work.”

The project suits a student who wants research experience, can reach a local data source or group of respondents, and has the months that approval, fieldwork and evaluation take. A taught elective suits a student with no realistic data access or a tight term-end deadline.

One thing MA Economics students tell us before they opt for MECP-201, MECP-202 or MECP-301: choosing the topic is the stage where they feel most lost, and many say they had no classes on writing a synopsis or a project report. If that is you, read the topic and synopsis sections below before you register the course.

MECP 301 Project Work: What the July 2026 Prospectus Settles and What It Leaves Open

For students joining now, the IGNOU MAEC Project appears as MECP-301 Project Work, and the July 2026 Common Prospectus is the document that defines it. Four points are settled there:

1. MECP-301 carries 4 credits and appears once in each of the three groups: A Data Analytics, B Insurance and Finance, and C Social Policy.
2. Semesters I, II and III are compulsory, with 20 credits each, so MECP-301 comes after three full semesters. MEC 109 Research Methods in Economics sits in Semester II, and the existing project guides tell students to study MEC-109 before the project.
3. Groups A and B carry the prospectus note “All the courses of this group are available only in English.” Group C carries no such note.
4. At 4 credits, MECP-301 falls in the Rs 300 project evaluation slab.

Two points remain open. In searches made on 16 October 2026 we found no MECP-301 project guide on eGyanKosh or the IGNOU website, so we have no printed proposal address, marks split or viva arrangement for it. The IGNOU MAEC programme page also still shows the four-group scheme with MECP-201 and MECP-202. Until a MECP-301 guide is issued, the October 2024 guides are the latest MA Economics project rules in print; write to the Programme Coordinator, MA (Economics), School of Social Sciences, and ask which guide applies to MECP-301 before you post a proposal.

IGNOU MAEC Project Topics Sorted by Specialisation Group

The IGNOU MAEC project topics printed in the two guides differ, because each guide was written for different groups. The MECP-201 list leans towards environment, finance and entrepreneurship themes; the MECP-202 list leans towards regression-based and social-policy themes. Both lists end with the same sentence: “This is an illustrative list and you can certainly go beyond or make necessary modifications in these themes to suit your local convenience.”

Guide themes placed against the July 2026 groups

The first three columns come from the guides. The group column is a planning aid: our reading of which July 2026 group’s courses support each theme, not an IGNOU rule.

The guides then ask you to narrow the theme by “aspect, location and period”, to keep the study area “at micro/local level”, and to pick an area you know and can reach.

Students regularly ask us which printed MECP topic they are allowed to take, as if the list were a menu. The MAEC guides say the opposite: the list is illustrative, you may modify a theme or choose your own, and the Faculty welcomes organisation-based and area-based projects.

A comment we have seen evaluators write on returned proposals is a request to base the study on the student’s own city. For an IGNOU MAEC project this matches the guides’ advice to stay local and familiar, so name your block, town or district in the title from the start.

Once the narrowed title is ready, copy it exactly into the “Title of the Project” box on the MECP proforma. We have seen proposals come back with that box left empty.

Talk through a topic and data source

Who Can Supervise an MA Economics Project

Two kinds of people can supervise an IGNOU MAEC project: approved academic counsellors at your study centre, and persons actively involved in research who are associated with a research institution. The Faculty of Economics at IGNOU headquarters approves the supervisor’s name along with the proposal, and if it does not, you must give the name of another eligible person.

The guides add that a list of supervisors is kept with the Coordinator of your Study Centre, who can assign one suited to your broad area. The supervisor signs Annexure A, and the supervisor’s signed bio-data goes in the envelope with your proposal. During the work, the supervisor is expected to introduce you to local agencies, give letters of authorisation for enquiries at offices, open the study centre library to you, and advise on theme, data and reading.

• Check eligibility first. In the MECP proposals that come to us, the supervisor named is often someone who meets neither of the two routes above, and the student did not know the routes existed.
• Many MA Economics students tell us no supervisor was allotted to them, so they turn to a relative or an outside contact. Before you write any name on the MECP-201, MECP-202 or MECP-301 proposal, ask the study centre coordinator for the list and test the person against the two routes.
• Make the bio-data complete. We have seen proposals returned when the supervisor’s bio-data carried no stamp or working ID; the MAEC guides ask for the bio-data to be signed and enclosed with the proposal.

The Annexure A proforma also asks how many students the supervisor is currently guiding for MECP-201 and MECP-202, so have that number ready when you ask someone to supervise you.

The IGNOU MAEC Synopsis in Four to Five Pages: Seven Required Parts

The IGNOU MAEC synopsis, which the guides call the project proposal, runs to about 4 to 5 pages and must contain seven parts. For an IGNOU MAEC Project the guides also set limits on several of those parts, and the limits are what keep a 4-credit or 6-credit project finishable.

A hypothesis is not one of the seven. The guides say it “is not necessary”, should be avoided in exploratory or descriptive studies, and should not exceed two if you do include one.

Before: a MAEC proposal that skips core parts such as the objectives or the research methodology. After: the seven parts in the MECP guide’s own order, with two or three objectives and a methodology paragraph that names the source, sample size, tool and technique. The first shape is common in the proposals that reach us; the second is what the guide asks for. A hypothesis is optional in the MAEC format, so its absence is not the gap.

Write the period of the study into the MAEC title and the problem statement, for example the years your secondary series covers or the month of your survey. Proposals that omit the period come back to students who later show them to us, and the guides list period as one of the three dimensions of a title.

We also see MA Economics proposals returned when the reason for the study or the questionnaire is missing. In the MECP format the reason belongs in the statement of the problem, and the questionnaire or schedule is one of the tools of data collection that the methodology part must name.

Data, Sample Size and Analysis Method

The guides start the IGNOU MAEC project’s data work with secondary sources. Block 6 of MEC-109 (Data Base of Indian Economy) and the guides’ own table of agencies point to MoSPI and NSSO rounds, the Census of India, the Reserve Bank of India, the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, NABARD, SEBI, DGCI&S and CMIE databases. For every secondary source, record who collected the data, when, the full title, the agency or author, and the edition and publisher.

A primary survey comes in when secondary data does not cover your question. Keep it small: the guides ask for “not more than 100 observations”. The methodology must then name the method (census or sample survey, random or non-random sampling) and the tool (questionnaire, schedule, structured or unstructured interview).

The guides allow three approaches. A quantitative study measures extent, frequency or impact; a qualitative study answers what and how questions about motivations and experiences; a mixed-methods study combines them. Three worked illustrations across the two guides show the range:

• Status and measurement of food security at district level, using a composite index built from Census 2011 and 68th NSS round indicators (both guides; method in Unit 12 of MEC-109).
• The invisible workforce of unpaid care work in your area, using participatory methods, group discussion and semi-structured interviews (MECP-202 guide; Unit 18 of MEC-109). The guide warns that regression models may not suit nominal or ordinal data, where descriptive statistics are the tool.
• Factors enabling women’s entrepreneurship in the Delhi region, a mixed-method design with a sample of 50 women entrepreneurs, convenience sampling, regression and thematic analysis (MECP-201 guide).

A large share of the MECP-201 and MECP-202 proposals we see rely on secondary data alone. The MAEC guides accept that, and even put secondary sources first, but they expect you to list each source’s agency, year and edition so an examiner can trace each figure.

Watch the analysis chapter. In many MA Economics reports that reach us, the analysis chapter cannot carry the objectives and method set out in Chapter 1, and analysis and interpretation is the heaviest criterion in the MECP marking table below.

If you ran a survey, the questionnaire or schedule is part of your evidence. We often see MAEC reports with the questionnaire or appendix left out altogether.

Annexure A, Line by Line

Annexure A is the “Proforma for Approval of Project Proposal” printed in each MECP guide, with the course code in its title. It is the first page the Faculty reads, and its office box is where the Faculty records approval of the proposal and the supervisor, or its comments.

The form closes with a reminder: “Please do not forget to enclose the Project Proposal and signed Bio-data of the Project Supervisor.”

Students ask us what “the proforma” is. For the MA Economics project it is this Annexure A, and the version must carry your own code: a MECP-202 student who prints the MECP-201 proforma, or the reverse, has attached the wrong one.

The MAEC proformas we check most often fail on simple gaps: supervisor details left incomplete, and sometimes the student’s own name, address or email left blank. Fill in each box before your supervisor signs.

“Do I bind the MAEC proposal or file it?” is a question we hear often. The MECP guides list three items for the envelope (the typed proposal, the signed Annexure A and the supervisor’s signed bio-data) and say nothing about binding at the proposal stage.

Posting the Proposal to Tagore Bhawan, Not to Your Regional Centre

Under MECP-201 and MECP-202, the IGNOU MAEC Project proposal goes to the School of Social Sciences at IGNOU headquarters. Both October 2024 guides give this address (MECP-301 students should confirm it with the Programme Coordinator first):

Programme Coordinator
MA (Economics) Programme
School of Social Sciences
Tagore Bhawan
IGNOU, Maidan Garhi
New Delhi 110068

• Prepare two copies of the proposal, typed, and send one. IGNOU does not send your copy back.
• Send it by Registered Post or Speed Post only.
• Do not change the topic, or even its wording, after you send the proposal. The report must carry the same title.
• Write the name and code of your course, your enrolment number, study centre and Regional Centre on the first page, which is Annexure A.

The earlier version of this page gave a “Course Coordinator … Block F” address. The October 2024 guides name the Programme Coordinator at Tagore Bhawan, so use that.

Students regularly ask us whether the MAEC synopsis should go to their study centre or to their Regional Centre. Neither: for MECP-201 and MECP-202, the guides send it by post to the Programme Coordinator at Tagore Bhawan, Maidan Garhi.

Keep the postal receipt and its tracking number with your second copy of the MECP proposal. Many students forget to take one, and later cannot show when they posted it.

Handwritten MA Economics proposals still turn up at our desk. The MECP guides ask for a hard copy “in the typed form”, so type it before it leaves your hands.

Approval, Faculty Comments and the Two-Revision Limit

An IGNOU MAEC Project proposal is approved by the Faculty of Economics at IGNOU headquarters, which also approves the supervisor’s name. The guides say the approval “will be sent by the Faculty of Economics, School of Social Sciences, IGNOU, New Delhi in due course” and print no fixed period. One rule is absolute: a report submitted without an approved proposal “will not be evaluated under any circumstances.”

If the Faculty asks for a revision, its suggestions and comments must be worked into the revised proposal. The MECP-202 guide caps this at two revision chances, after which the student takes another optional course instead of the project; the MECP-201 guide does not carry that sentence.

• Plan for a wait. In our experience approval of a synopsis takes two to three months, and the MECP guides commit only to “due course”.
• Expect comments. Most of the MA Economics approvals we see arrive with correction or modification points, and the one we meet most is a request to bring the review of literature up to date.

No Approval Letter Yet: Whom to Write To

For an MA Economics proposal, the office that sends the decision is the Faculty of Economics, School of Social Sciences, so academic queries go to the Programme Coordinator, MA (Economics) Programme, School of Social Sciences, Tagore Bhawan, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068. The July 2026 Common Prospectus lists the MAEC Programme Coordinator as Prof. Vijeta Banwari, vijetabanwari@ignou.ac.in, phone 011-29572708.

“Two months have passed, whom do I ask?” We hear this from MAEC students who did not know the decision comes from the School, not their Regional Centre. Write to the Programme Coordinator with your enrolment number, MECP code, title and posting date.

We have seen MA Economics students wait for a letter that did not arrive until the session ran out. Follow up while there is still time for a revision to travel both ways.

When a MECP proposal comes back for revision, students often send the new version without the original. The MAEC guides do not say whether the original goes back with it; they say the Faculty’s comments must be worked in. Keep whatever the Faculty sends you with its comments, and ask the Programme Coordinator whether to enclose it with the revision.

Fitting the Project Into a Term-End Cycle

The MECP guides print no last date for the proposal. They describe the project as “a part of your term-end examination”, the project fee is paid with the Term-End Examination form, and evaluation takes “a minimum of two months from the date of submission”. IGNOU holds term-end examinations in June and December, so the dates that bind you are the report and fee dates IGNOU notifies for your cycle. For December 2026, IGNOU’s Regional Centre Noida has posted a notice titled “Submission of Project/Internship/Practical course fee for term-end examination (TEE). December 2026”; read it for the fee date.

Our records put it at 70 to 80 percent: that share of students starts real work only in the final month before a submission date, so a November date means most of them begin in October. For the MAEC project that habit is risky, because approval has to come back before the report can even be written.

Some MA Economics students wait for a second, extended date before they start. Nobody can say in advance whether IGNOU will extend a date, and an extension does nothing for a MECP proposal that has not yet been approved.

Students ask us whether a published last date is for the synopsis or the report. In the MECP guides the proposal has no last date of its own; the dates IGNOU notifies each cycle, such as the project fee date, belong to the report stage.

MAEC Project Report Format: 15,000 to 20,000 Words in One and a Half Spacing

The MAEC project report format in both guides is short and specific. Write about 15,000 to 20,000 words (50 to 60 pages), typed in one and a half spacing, in English or Hindi, divided into about 4 to 5 chapters. The guides prefer a typed and bound copy.

The guides fix the order of the opening pages:

1. Cover page as per Annexure B: title, name, enrolment number, address and year of submission.
2. Contents.
3. List of tables, maps and figures.
4. Acknowledgements.
5. Abbreviations in alphabetical order, if any.
6. From the sixth page, Chapter 1: introduction, rationale for the theme, objectives, research methodology with data collection and analysis techniques, and limitations.

Middle chapters follow, each closing with a “summing up” paragraph, and the last chapter states objective-wise findings and suggestions. A review of related studies takes two to three pages at most, and photographs, maps and diagrams are welcome where they help. The guides do not prescribe a font, font size, margin width or an abstract, so treat those as layout choices, not IGNOU rules.

After the approval letter, the first question many students bring to us is “what format does the MAEC report follow?” The answer is already in your MECP guide, section 2.2.3, and it runs to about two pages.

Many MA Economics students who come to us are unsure of the page order of the report. Follow the six-page sequence above exactly, and number the pages to match the contents.

Length cuts both ways. We see MECP proposals and reports that run so far past the guide’s limits that they come back, and the guides set both limits for a reason: say what you have to say within them.

Ask for a printed reference set

Literature Review and References That Match

The guides keep the literature short (two to three pages in the report) and the references strict. The reference list begins on a separate page headed References, centred, in alphabetical order of the author’s surname, and the guide gives author-date examples for books, government publications, journal articles and websites. The bibliography should cover records, documents, reports, interviews, newspapers and magazines, listed under separate heads.

Cross-check before you post: each author named in the MAEC literature review should appear in the references, and each reference should be cited somewhere in the text. In many MA Economics synopses we read, the two lists do not match.

Outdated studies cost marks in our experience, and references are a criterion of their own in the MECP marking table. If the Faculty asked you to update the literature at approval, carry that update into the report.

Many MA Economics reports reaching us list references that do not follow one format and do not match the secondary data the tables use. Use the author-date pattern the MECP guide illustrates, and list each secondary source your tables draw on.

What Goes Inside the Bound Report: Annexure B, Annexure C and the CD

The finished IGNOU MAEC Project report opens with Annexure B, the first page. It prints “Programme Code: MEC”, the course code, your enrolment number, study centre code, Regional Centre, the topic, and a declaration you sign: “this work has been done by me and has not been submitted elsewhere. Further, the report has not been copied from any source.”

Annexure C is the certificate your supervisor signs, stating that the work is your own and recommending it for evaluation. The guides also ask for a CD with the soft copy of the report, which is checked through anti-plagiarism software.

Reports come back when students do not know what the MAEC bound copy must carry. For MECP-201 and MECP-202 the guides list Annexure B as the first page, Annexure C signed by the supervisor, and a CD with the soft copy.

Some students post the report with Annexure C unsigned. The MECP certificate needs your supervisor’s signature, name, address, study centre, Regional Centre and date.

Some MA Economics students bind each filled-in questionnaire at the back. The MECP guides do not ask for filled forms; a single blank copy of the tool in the appendix is common practice.

Sending the Report to SED, Block 12

Under MECP-201 and MECP-202, the completed IGNOU MAEC Project report goes to the Student Evaluation Division, not to the School that approved the proposal. Prepare two hard copies, send one with a CD holding the soft copy, and keep the other, because IGNOU will not send it back. The address in both guides:

Registrar
SED Division, Block 12
IGNOU, Maidan Garhi
New Delhi 110068

Pay the project evaluation fee with your Term-End Examination form: Rs 300 for MECP-202 and MECP-301 (up to 4 credits), Rs 500 for MECP-201 (above 4 credits), per the July 2026 Common Prospectus. The fee is not refundable once paid.

Some students email their MA Economics report to an IGNOU address and treat that as submission. The MECP guides route the report by post with a CD to SED, Block 12; if IGNOU notifies an online upload for your cycle, use that route and nothing else.

How many copies, and where? Students ask us both. For MECP-201 and MECP-202 the answer is two prepared, one posted with the CD to SED, one kept.

Spiral binding still shows up in MAEC reports we see. The MECP guides say IGNOU would “prefer to receive a typed and bound copy”, so bind the report as a volume before posting.

Viva-Voce and Marks: How an IGNOU MAEC Project Is Scored

Under MECP-201 and MECP-202, an IGNOU MAEC Project is evaluated in two components: the report (70 percent) and a viva-voce (30 percent), and you must clear the minimum in each separately. The guides say the viva “will be conducted by the Economics Discipline at the Headquarter through any of the electronic mode like Whats’app, Google Meet, etc.” The MECP-202 proforma gives that as the reason it asks for your email and mobile number.

How the 100 report marks divide in the MECP guides

Evaluation takes at least two months from submission. If the result falls below 40 percent in the report and viva components, IGNOU sends the evaluator’s comments, and the guides ask you to redo the work, attach Annexures B and C (Annexure A is not needed again) and send it to SED, Block 12 with a demand draft of Rs 1,000 in favour of IGNOU payable at New Delhi. Ask SED whether a draft is still the accepted mode before you buy one.

The guides list originality rules beside the marks: the report must be in your own language, copying any published or unpublished project leads to cancellation, and a copied report draws a penalty “as per UGC rule”.

A habit we warn MA Economics students about: lifting paragraphs from websites into the MECP report and posting it without running any plagiarism check. The CD you send is checked by software, and no tool can promise a clean result for text you did not write.

Some analysis chapters we have seen were built on assumed figures, with no survey behind them. In a MAEC viva the examiner can ask where each number came from, and the data must come from your own fieldwork or a source you can name.

Reports sent in unchanged from an AI tool’s output are part of why the same MA Economics topics keep reappearing at our desk. Use a tool to check your English if you must, but the argument and the tables have to be yours.

Five Slips in the Official MAEC Documents

The IGNOU documents for this course contradict themselves in five places. Knowing them saves a letter to the School.

1. The MECP-202 guide calls the course 4 credits in its introduction, then says “This Project Work is of six credits and you are expected to spend about 180 hours”. The IGNOU MAEC programme page gives MECP-202 as 4 credits.
2. The MECP-202 guide gives the 14-of-35 and 6-of-15 minimums but names the course “(Project Work-MECP 201)” in the same sentence.
3. The MECP-201 guide tells students to write “(in this case MECP-202)” on the first page and leaves the proforma’s page number blank (“page ….”).
4. Annexure B in both guides prints “Programme Code: MEC”, a code other than MAEC, while the guides themselves are titled MAEC.
5. The July 2026 Common Prospectus prints the three-group MECP-301 table and, in the same MAEC section, an older note about four groups and MECP 201 and MECP 202.

In each case, the code and credit value on your own registration govern what you write. If the programme code on Annexure B is in doubt for you, ask the Programme Coordinator before binding.

Originality Checks and Shared Topics

An IGNOU MAEC Project report carries your signed declaration that it “has not been copied from any source”, and its soft copy is checked by anti-plagiarism software. The patterns below are the ones that put that declaration at risk.

Proposals that draw on the same widely shared material, or on a single outside source, tend to share their topic with other students’ proposals, and in our experience duplicated topics are a frequent reason for return. A MECP title narrowed to your own district and period is the simplest protection.

We regularly see MAEC proposals drafted with ChatGPT or a similar tool by students who had not opened the MECP guide. The plan then does not match what the guide asks for, such as the seven required parts or the limit of two to three objectives.

Time pressure is the root of most of this. Many MA Economics students leave the MECP proposal so late that no time is left to write it themselves, which is why the first week plan below starts with the guide, not the deadline.

IGNOU MAEC Project Questions From Search

A First Week Plan for the MA Economics Project

If you have just opted for the IGNOU MAEC Project, these seven steps cover the first week, in this order:

1. Confirm your code (MECP-201, MECP-202 or MECP-301) and credits from your registration.
2. Download the IGNOU MAEC project guidelines for your code from eGyanKosh and read Parts 1 and 2 once, end to end. For MECP-301, where no guide was found on 16 October 2026, ask the Programme Coordinator which guide to follow.
3. Choose a broad theme from the guide’s list or your own, then narrow it by aspect, location and period.
4. Get the supervisor list from your study centre coordinator and check the person against the two eligibility routes.
5. Decide the data source: secondary first, a survey of up to 100 observations only if needed.
6. Draft the seven parts in about 4 to 5 pages and fill Annexure A completely.
7. Post the typed proposal, the signed Annexure A and the signed bio-data by Speed Post or Registered Post to the address your guide gives (Tagore Bhawan for MECP-201 and MECP-202).

• Post early in the cycle. Many students post their MAEC proposal in the final week before a term-end date they have in mind; the MECP guides set no proposal date, and approval still has to come back before the report can start.
• Allow for revision rounds with your supervisor. Each round on a MECP draft can move the posting date by weeks, so book the first meeting in this same week.
• Keep the approval letter beside you while writing. The comments that come with an approved MAEC proposal belong in the report, and many students we meet leave them out.

For a check of your own proposal before you post it, see our customised project service.
