BCA-603 PROJECT

Practical Training and Project Work:

1. Project Work may be done individually or in groups(maximum three) in case of bigger

projects. However if project is done in group each student must be given a responsibility for a
distinct module and care should be taken to monitor the individual student.

2. Project Work can be carried out in the college or outside with prior permission of college.

3. The Student must submit a synopsis of the project report to the college for approval. The
Project guide can accept the project or suggest modification for resubmission. Only on
acceptance of draft project report the student should make the final copies.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION OF BCA FINAL YEAR (VI Semester) PROJECT

All the candidates of BCA are required to submit a project-report based on the work done by
him/her during the major/minor/summer assignment period.

SUMMARY/ABSTRACT

All students must submit a summary/abstract separately with the project report. Summary, preferably,
should be of about 3-4 pages. The content should be as brief as is sufficient enough to explain the
objective and implementation of the project that the candidate is going to take up. The write up must
adhere to the guidelines and should include the following:

• Name / Title of the Project

• Statement about the Problem
• Why is the particular topic chosen?
• Objective and scope of the Project
• Methodology (including a summary of the project)
• Hardware & Software to be used
• Testing Technologies used
• What contribution would the project make?

TOPIC OF THE PROJECT- This should be explicitly mentioned at the beginning of theSynopsis.
Since the topic itself gives a peep into the project to be taken up, candidate is advised to be prudent on
naming the project. This being the overall impression on the future work, the topic should corroborate
the work.

OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE: This should give a clear picture of the project. Objectiveshould be
clearly specified. What the project ends up to and in what way this is going to help the end user has to
be mentioned.

PROCESS DISCRIPTION: The process of the whole software system proposed, to bedeveloped,
should be mentioned in brief. This may be supported by DFDs / Flowcharts to explain the flow of the
information.

RESOURCES AND LIMITATIONS: The requirement of the resources for designing

anddeveloping the proposed system must be given. The resources might be in form of the
hardware/software or the data from the industry. The limitation of the proposed system in respect of a
larger and comprehensive system must be given.
CONCLUSION: The write-up must end with the concluding remarks- briefly describinginnovation
in the approach for implementing the Project, main achievements and also any other important feature
that makes the system stands out from the rest.
