CONDUCT OF MINOR PROJECT: BCA SEMESTER V

Objective

1. Students of BCA Semester V are required to work on a project as per syllabi. It is

planned to link and extend the work done in the Summer Training of Semester IV with the
project work that is to be done during this semester. At the end of the semester the students are to
submit a written project report to be forwarded to GGSIP University. The objective of this
Academic Circular is to lay guidelines to conduct minor project and to standardise the format of
submission of required report.

University Scheme for Summer Training & Project

2. As per the syllabi of BCA (Paper No BCA-355 of 4 credits), students of Semester V are
to design and develop an application software in continuation with the summer training carried
out during BCA Semester IV on a real information system and to submit a written report. In this
case evaluation has two components, viz.
Paper No : BCA -355 (IT MINOR PROJECT)
Credits :4
Max Mark’s : 100
(a) Internal : 40 Marks
(b) External : 60 Marks
Time Duration : 12 Weeks (17th August-16th November ’2010)

Scope of Project

3. The SRS worked out during the summer training are to be converted into an application
using front & back-end tools during the Vth semester as a software project independently by
each student.

4. The project work shall be an application development in a language/platform that the

student has learnt during the previous semester’s viz. VB6.0 as Front End Tool and Oracle 9i
as Back End Tool. It shall be an in-house development. Each student is required to carry out
the work in a team of two and submit the joint report at the end. ANY PREVIOUS
WORK OR BORROWED REPORT WILL BE SUMMARILY REJECTED AND IN ALL
CASES OF REJECTION THE WORK IS TO BE REPEATED AFRESH.

Methodology

5. Methodology and activities that are to be performed to conduct the summer training
project are given in details in Appendix-A.
Format & Final Report

6. The Guidelines for the format to be used for compilation of the project report are given in
Appendix-B. All students are to adhere to these guidelines.

METHODOLOGY FOR THE PROJECT WORK

Chapter-1: System Introduction

Description of System: Give brief description of the organisation and the proposed information
system whose analytical study has been during semester IV summer training period.

System Requirement Submission Report (As per IEEE Format): The SRS worked out during
the summer training IVth semester has to be formally explained as per IEEE standard notation
for implementing the user requirement of the proposed system as per analysis done during two
months training period.

NOTE: YOU MUST INCORPORATE THE CHANGES IN SYSTEM DESIGN IF

ANY HAS BEEN SUFGGESTED BY THE PROJECT GUIDE DURING THE
CODING & IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

Chapter-2: Systems Design

Physical Design: Explain relationship between various components (processes, input, output &
entities) of the system. Draw DFD’s or other relative diagrams. (As per the implemented system
design)

Database Design: Depending on the tool/package used, give contents of each file including
Field Name, Type, and Size & Description. Generate ER diagram and Tabular Data Dictionary
of the all supported data files & objects.(As per implemented database schema)

Interface Design:
(a) Output Design: Screen & Print layouts, i.e., the format and contents (fields) to be
included – along with the file to which it is linked.

(b) Input (Form or Screen) Design: For keying-in data. Give fields, format, codes to be
used, validation (error detection) requirements & the file to which it is linked.

NOTE: YOU MUST INCLUDE SOME VALIDATION CHECKS. SECURITY

AND CONTROL FEATURES (ACCESS RIGHTS) COULD BE ADDITIONAL.

Chapter-3: Systems Development & Implementation

Purpose: To carry out the activities of writing actual programmes, their debugging, testing and
validation. Following activities are to be carried out:

(a) Programme Development: Develop the programs using the tools/platform

specified in Chapter-1 (both back-end and front-end). Attach programme codes, screen
 prints of GUI and ‘Actual Output Reports’ using the real data. Codes may be attached as
appendix & on CD.
(b) Testing & Debugging: Use Past Data to check whether the programmes work as
intended by you or you can use dummy data..

NOTE: INCLUDE THE TEST REPORTS IN THE PROJECT TO SHOW THE

ERRORS, IF ANY, AND A BRIEF WRITE-UP ON THEIR RECTIFICATION.

Chapter-4: Scope of Improvement, Summary and Conclusions
