Education and Career Forum

I am a student staying in Thane, currently doing Integrated M.Tech course in Biotechnology from D.Y Patil University in Navi Mumbai. I wish to seek advise for the final year 6 months (last semester) project of my course, which begins next year.
I have my current semester ongoing and I still have another full semester before the commencement of my project, yet I would like to get my preparation going from now itself.
I would greatly appreciate if you could fill me up with the possible approaches I could undertake to get in touch with the institutes to work with and what should I do in order to prepare for the project work. Also I would like to know which Institutes support student projects and their criteria for the same, so I could further communicate with them.
I would be highly obliged if you could assist me in the same.

Thank you.
