Introduction
The BCA students are encouraged to involve themselves on this minor project. It is advised
to students to develop their own project for solving different types application developments.
Doing this will give more exposure to handle real life problems of project development. The
hands on experience gained from the practical classes provide students the knowledge to
work with software developments in variety of application domains.

From the beginning of selecting a topic to completing this minor project, the teacher in-
charge is expected to give guidance to student wherever necessary. The teacher is expected to
explain and refresh the minds of students regarding different topics relation to project
development such as Software Requirements Specifications, Entity Relationships diagrams,
Data Flow Diagrams, components and procedure for writing project report, etc. But majority
of the minor project classes will be devoted for the students to do their practical project
works.

The primary emphasis of the minor project work is to understand and gain the knowledge of
the principles of software engineering practices, and develops good understanding of
Software Development Life Cycle. Students should take this project work very seriously.

Name of Paper: Major Project

Marks Scale: 300 marks (End Sem. Exam: 200 + Int.: 100) Credit: 14
(0- 0- 14)

Objective:

The Project work constitutes a major component in most professional program. It needs to be
carried out with due care, and should be executed with seriousness by the students. The
project work is not only a partial fulfillment of the BCA requirements, but also provide a
mechanism to demonstrate your skills, abilities and specialization. The objectives of the
project is to help the student develop the ability to apply theoretical and practical
tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry, academic institutions and
research laboratories. The purpose behind the inclusion of this is to consolidate the concepts
and practices that were imparted during the course arid to serve as record of competence. It
should enable the students to apply concretely in a small package the concepts pined from
system analysis and design.

Students should take this project work very seriously. Topics selected should be complex
and large enough to justify as a BCA project. Please do not undertake the
topics/specifications from the Mini Project. The project should be genuine and original in
nature and should not be copied from anywhere else.

Mark Distribution:

Marks distribution for internal as well as external is given below:

Topics External
Project Record 25 Marks
Project Development 100 Marks
and execution
Viva Voce 50 Marks
Presentation 25 Marks
Total 200 Marks

Internal – 100 marks

Steps Involved in The Project Work:

The complete project work should be done by the student only. The role of guide should be
about guidance wherever any problem encounters during project.The following are the major
steps involved in the project, which may help you to determine the milestones and regulate
the scheduling of the project:
1) Select a topic and a suitable guide.
2) Prepare the project proposal in consultation with the project guide.
3) Submit the project proposal along with the necessary documents
4) Obtain receipt of the project approval from concerned department
5) Carry out the project-work.

65
 Mizoram University: Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA)

6) Prepare the project report.

7) Submit the project report to the department concerned
8) Appear for the viva-voce or presentation as per the intimation.

Project Synopsys:

The student can formulate a project synopsis with the help of her/his Guide and submit the
project proposal of the same. Approval of the project proposal is mandatory. If approved,
the student can commence working on it, and complete it. Use the latest versions of the
software packages for the development of the project. Synopsis of the project proposal
covering the following aspects must be submit to the department:

(i) Proposed Title of the Project.

(ii) Why is the particular topic chosen?
(iii) Introduction and Objectives of the Project.
(iv) Software Requirement specifications.
v Hardware Requirements
v Software Requirements
(v) A complete structure which includes:
Ø Number of modules and their description
Ø Data Structures as per the project requirements for all the modules
(vi) List of reports that are likely to be generated

The project synopsis must have proper cover page and signature of students and the guide to
show his or her acceptance and willingness to guide.

Acceptance/Rejection of Report:

The student must submit a Synopsis of the project report to the Institute for approval. The
Principal/Teacher in charge holds the right to accept the project or suggest modifications for
resubmission. Only on acceptance of draft project report, the student should make the final
copies.

Project File:

Model 1
1. The topic for the project can be any sub-system of a system software or tool or any
scientific or a fairly complex algorithmic situation.
2. The aim of this type is to highlight the abilities of algorithmic formulation, program
and data flow representation, modular programming, optimized code preparation and
systematic documentation and other associated aspects of software engineering.

Model 2:
1. This model can be of a typical business oriented application. The aim of this type is to
highlight the stages involved in a typical business oriented project development, though on a
miniature scale and simulated environment. The appropriate use of DBMS/RDBMS towards
any business application, along with adequate level system analysis and structured design and
development of specific tools/products would be the underlying activity, in a preparing this
project.

66
 Mizoram University: Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA)

2. The emphasis should be on selecting a system/ sub- system which shows the DBMS
and System Analysis aspects, to a greater degree. Any small and simple business may be
selected, although candidate’s arc advised to use their knowledge and creativity, to select
typical and intelligent applications, rather than run-of-the- mill themes, such as simple Pay
Roll calculation or Issue Return portion on an inventory scheme. The Evaluation stage would
give due weightage for theme selection, problem analysis, fact finding techniques and initial
design, which is as close to real life business situations as possible.
3. The project may be earned out in any of the X base family products which are
equivalent to Oracle/Access. The code can be generated out of four GL Interface, like Screen
Builder and Report Generator, or can be totally hand- coded or a combination of both. The
documentation need not contain the code generated by these applications, but only written by
the candidate.
