Guidelines for the seminar:

Seminar presentations skills need to be learnt and rehearsed. Being able to give a good and clear presentation to a public audience is an asset you - and your future employer - will greatly value. Oral skills, alongside writing and research skills, teamwork, and time management, are aspects of your degree course, or key skills, which will have application to your future career in whatever field that may be. Future employers always ask for these key skills in references, and they are often seen as more important than the subject of your degree.

This (Click here) web resource gives you other guidelines which you can also follow.

Paper: The content of the seminar paper should be relevant and precise. Diagrams, illustrations etc may be used to explain the concept clearly. The paper should be typed in "Times New Roman" with font size 12 and one & a half line line space. The seminar paper should be prepared well in advance (at least one week before the date of presenation) in consultation with the teacher.

Presentation: The paper has to be presented in 10 minutes. Each presentation will be followed by 5 minutes discussion. You should not 'read out' the paper/ppt.
