🔍 Seminar Topic Selection¶

The topic defines the difficulty level of your Q&A session. A topic you are comfortable with will make the presentation much smoother.

🏁 How to Pick a Topic?¶

1. The Research-First Approach (Recommended)¶

Don't just pick a topic from a blog post. Find a Base Research Paper. * Guides respect topics that have scientific backing. * It provides you with professional diagrams and verified data points.

2. Follow the Trends¶

If you are confused, go with trending domains. They are easier to find resources for: * CSE Examples: Federated Learning, Edge Computing, Zero Trust Security, Quantum Cryptography, Generative AI Architectures. * General Tech: Smart Grids, Autonomous Vehicles, Space-X Starlink internals, Green Hydrogen Tech.

3. The "Acceptability" Trick¶

If you have a small or simple idea, the way you present it to your guide matters. Instead of saying "I want to talk about ChatGPT," say "I want to analyze the Transformer Architecture and its impact on Natural Language Processing." The professional framing makes it acceptable.

🚫 Avoid "Dead" Topics¶

Unless you have a very unique angle, avoid topics that are too old or "solved": * Basic Bluetooth/Wi-Fi (Try Wi-Fi 7 or Li-Fi instead). * 4G Technology (Go for 5G Slicing or 6G). * Basic Cloud Computing (Try Serverless or Cloud-Native Security).

🤝 The Guide Interaction¶

• Early Submission: Submit your topic options early. Guides are often exhausted by the end of the semester; if you go late, they might just assign you a boring topic.
• Show Proof: When proposing, show them the research paper you found. It proves you've already started the work.
