General information for enrollment in the graduation exam
Listed below are the necessary steps to register for the diploma or dissertation exam:
On the ETTI graduation platform https://etti.pub.ro/absolvire faculty members will add the undergraduate and dissertation topics they wish to coordinate. If you have your own project idea, you can propose it to a teacher to coordinate and add your proposed topic to the platform, but it is not guaranteed to be accepted.
All students, including those from previous years, must choose a theme! Homework from previous years is not automatically extended and is no longer valid! Students from previous years can change the theme and/or the coordinator. In the case of old students, the retention of the subject and/or the supervisor from previous years is not guaranteed, as the total number of places on the diploma for a teacher is limited. The choice of subject and acceptance by the teacher is done on the platform https://etti.pub.ro/absolvire.
The student account is the same as in the contracts application (and is NOT the same as on Moodle or Teams).
The graduation application does NOT work like the practice application. Don't apply randomly to different teachers/topics waiting to be contacted, as teachers don't see students' emails or CVs like they do in practice. Instead, contact them by email/teams or directly the teachers whose topics interest you.
The acceptance process is based on discussions, student selection criteria are decided by each professor (the simultaneous equivalent of "accepting for interview" and conducting the practicum interview) and finalizes with acceptance on the platrorm. It is recommended, but not obligatory, that a student in a specialization chooses a coordinator from the department coordinating that specialization.
Students who are not accepted for any assignment by the deadline in the calendar will not have an assignment and will not be able to take the diploma/dissertation exam in the current academic year.
Completion of the acceptance process for an assignment results in the student's account in the https://etti.pub.ro/absolvire of the theme registration form - Annex 1/2 of Graduation thesis regulation (link below). Annex 1/2 is included in the final draft without signatures - these are replaced by the validation code.
After the choice of the topic, the work on the bachelor/doctoral project will begin. During semester 2 there are 3 deadlines, according to the timetable, by which you must upload partial documents containing what you have worked on so far to the account in the graduation application. These documents do not have a fixed form (they do not have to follow the standard final project format). They can include: diagrams, schematics, code snippets, calculations, measurement results, screenshots, etc. The platform supports uploading only one PDF document per stage. The teacher may ask you to submit other documents along the way via email, teams, etc.
Uploading these steps allows the coordinating teacher to keep track of what you have worked on along the way. At the end of the last of the 3 stages, you will receive a mark for the work you have done.
By the date in the calendar, the project leader fills in the points awarded by the project leader in the subject catalogues. Diploma/dissertation project preparation and Practice diploma/dissertation project according to Annex 7 (Annex 7 is given as an explanation of the scoring, it will not be completed on paper). Only for dissertation , if any, the practice certificate from the company will be scanned and emailed to the manager. see page describing how to evaluate the activity. Therefore, if you do not score above 50% in these subjects, you will not have those credit points count towards your total credit points.
Graduates will complete the online application form for taking the diploma/dissertation exam in the current session, print, sign and scan the resulting PDF, which must then be sent to the project leader, who will sign and return it to the student. This document is generated on the https://studenti.pub.ro. On the platform https://etti.pub.ro/absolvire submit this document and the other documents described in sections Diploma exam registration, Dissertation exam registration
loading the final project, and poster, in the form of PDF documents, on the ETTI server https://etti.pub.ro/absolvire. The final draft is sent to the committee for marking. The poster is included in a booklet that will be published on the website, so the poster can be re-uploaded during the week of the defense. After the deadline, the project can no longer be uploaded. Students who do not upload on time will not be admitted to the current session and will be removed from the schedule. Uploading is done on the website https://etti.pub.ro/absolvire, not on studenti.pub.ro. Any upload on studenti.pub.ro will be ignored (commission members do not have access to the student site, and that site does not allow the implementation of deadlines).
All undergraduate students must complete the form prior to admission anonymous of feedback for 4th year subjects, at the address https://feedback.elcom.pub.ro/students , using the code corresponding to the section: CTI4&student, ELA4&student, TST4&student, RST4&student, MON4&student. Save the confirmation image at the end to show to the committee secretary.
The support will be done according to the schedule that will be posted with approx. 2 days prior to the project (see calendar).
February session
The February session is a session of arrears for the previous academic year and is considered as the third session after the July and September sessions. Students who simultaneously fulfil the following conditions may participate:
- they have an approved theme (there is a validation code) in the form of an Annex 1/2 from the previous academic year (not older);
- have all exams passed (240 credit points) no later than the end of the September arrears session.
- have a supervisor who agrees to continue to supervise the student this semester, and who is to sign off that the paper is ready in February (some supervisors chosen by older students may be unavailable at this time).
For this session, no modification of Annex 1/2 already approved in the previous academic year is accepted, no new annexes are approved, and consequently the theme or the leader cannot be changed. Students who do not meet these conditions will register for the June or September intake of the current academic year, according to the instructions above, in which case it is possible to change the topic or supervisor. It is possible for a student to register for the February session and simultaneous to register with a new Schedule 1/2 (and possibly another leader) for the June/September sessions. In this way, if the student passes the diploma exam in February, the new Annex 1/2 will be deleted; if they do not pass, they continue working in semester 2 according to the new annex.
