. I dont guide big projects, but yes i gave direction for students doing bsc and mca , btech miniprojects. What i noiced with them are the faculties are not update with the latest tech.(i mean the faculty who need to guide). One last event i experienced was i suggested one multimedia content upload(image,audio) (think about picasa) done in smart client architecture in .NET and the faculty who was looking the proj. said to the student that nothing in it just showing images!. The other students who i gave proj. in the same college was doing datbase projects in vb and was accepted.So i think that the faculties are demanding some projects which relates to their study.(Becuase the faculty will only aware of that tech ;))
