GUIDELIN| 'S FOR PROJECT FORMULATION ‘The project work constitutes a major component in most of the professional programmes and it is to be carried out with due care and should be executed with seriousness by the candidates. TYPE OF PROJECT As majority of the students are expected to work out a real Life project in some industry/research and development laboratories/educational institutions/sofiware companies, it is suggested that the project is to be chosen which should have some direct relevance in day-to-day activities of the candidates in his/her institution, Students are encouraged to work in the areas listed at the end, However, it is not mandatory for a student to work on a real life project. The student can formulate a project problem with the help of Guide. PROJECT PROPOSAL (SYNOPSIS) PROPOSAL FORMULATION ‘The project proposal should be prepared in consultation with the guide. The project proposal should clearly state the objectives and environment of the proposed project to be undertaken, Ensure that the project that will be done by you will involve all the phases as mentioned in Section IV of the BCA Project Guidelines. It should have full details in the following form: Title of the Project Objectives of the Project Input to the Project Output of the Project Process Logie (You should write a note on the process of arriving from Input to the Output) Limitations of the Project Tools/Platforms, Languages to be used (Also, mention the reasons for proposing to use them) Are you doing this project for any Industry/Client?

Student needs to attach letter in the project report from the Project Manager of the project in the organisation that they are not permitting student to attach the code. In the absence of such letter, the student needs to attach the code compulsoril eee The project report should be hard bound; should consist of a Contents page; all pages of report should be numbered; content should be well organized in a meaningful manner; printouts of text & screen layouts should be original and should not be Xeroxed) Original copy of the Project Proposal Proforma, Synopsis and Guide’s Bio-data Certificate of Originality (Format given on page no. 15). The Project Report may be about 50 to 80 double spaced A-4 size typed pages (excluding program code). However,10% variation on either side is permissible.PROJECT EVALUATION The Project Report is evaluated for 80 marks and the Viva-voce is for 20 marks. To be declared successful, the student should secure at least 33% marks collectively in both project report evaluation and viva-voce. Always, ensure that the BCA project guidelines are followed. Unfair cases of copied versions of the project synopsis and project reports will be sent to Unfair Means Committee of University for action. ‘S WHILE PREPAR' THE PROJECT REPORT lL. The Project Report should be submitted in A-4 size typed in double space. The Project Report should be hard bound. One softcopy of the project is also to be submitted along with hardcopy. 2. Ensure that it contains the following: e Project Proposal Proforma. All the items should be filled. The signatures of both student and guide should be present. Project Synopsis. Both guide and student should sign on the Project Synopsis. Guide’s Bio-data. The Bio-data should consist of signature of the Guide. Certificate of Originality (Format given on Page no.12) All signatures should be accompanied by the date of signature. It should include all items mentioned in Section IV. 3. If any project report is received in the absence of the items listed above, it will be rejected and returned to students for compliance. Also, violation of Project Guidelines may lead to rejection of the Project .
