tests for awarding the students for internal assessment. The students shall also be
required to maintain proper record of each practical in a Practical File which shall be
regularly checked by the concerned teacher-in-charge. The internal assessment shall
be based on regular tests, practical file and attendance in the laboratory. For the rest
of 50% of the total marks there shall be an external examination which shall be
conducted jointly by an internal examiner and an external examiner to be appointed
by the University. The distribution of marks to various components is given below

Project work will be offered in the Sixth semester of BCA which shall be typically
carried out in the department as industrial/ research application individually by the
candidates under the guidance of a faculty member. During the project period, a
student is expected to work at least 20 hrs/week. At the end of semester-VI, the

is required to submit a certificate of successful completion of the project from the
guide giving total number of hours the candidates has worked toward the project and
his conduct during the project work. Evaluation of the project will be carried out by a
committee consisting of head of the department, external examiner and the guide by
examining the project report, presentation of the project and demonstration of the
working model of the project.

Assessment of Project:
At the end of the sixth semester of the course, a student will be examined and
evaluated in the Project by an external examiner to be appointed by the University
and an internal examiner to be appointed by the college. Both the external and
internal examiners shall conduct the Viva-voce of the student for judging the
knowledge of the work done and shall also evaluate the project work of the student
with respect to each and every component as mentioned in the Outlines/Guidelines of
the project report.
PROJECT GUIDELINES
Only the projects submitted by the candidates as per following guidelines shall be
evaluated.
1. Project may be selected by the student during the fifth Semester programme.

supervisor of the project.
3. The project report must be submitted in consonance in the appropriate format
under the guidance of the Supervisor.
4. Monthly progress report must be submitted through external guide (if any) in
the enclosed format.
5. Project report must be submitted before the prescribed last date.
6. Two copies of the project report and the software CD must be submitted to the
external examiner. One copy of the project shall be returned to the student
with the signature of external examiner and the other one shall be retained in
the library.

- Documentation; and
- Source code
(b) The source-code and the executable code have to be submitted on CD and
student must demonstrate working of the software.
