MAJOR PROJECT
GUIDELINES FOR
TH
BCA 6 SEMESTER
Project Guidelines

The Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programme prepares the students to


take up positions as Programmers, Systems Analysts, Systems Designers in the field related to
computer science and information technology or students may go for higher studies in this area.

The courses studied by you during your BCA programme provide you the basic
background to work on diverse application domains. The theoretical background of various
courses provides you the necessary foundation, principles, and practices to develop effective
ways to solve computing problems. The hands on experience gained from the practical courses
provide you the knowledge to work with various operating systems, programming languages
and software tools.

This project work is kept in BCA program to give you an opportunity to develop quality
software solution. During the development of the project you should involve in all the stages of
the software development life cycle (SDLC) like requirements analysis, systems design, software
development/coding, testing and documentation, with an overall emphasis on the development of
reliable software systems. The primary emphasis of the project work is to understand and
gain the knowledge of the principles of software engineering practices, and develops good
understanding of SDLC.

The BCA students are encouraged to involve themselves completely on the project work
in their final semester. It is advised to students to develop their project for solving problems of
software industry or any research organization. Doing this will give more exposure to handle real
life problems of project development.

Students should take this project work very seriously. Topics selected, should be
complex and large enough to justify as a BCA project. The project should be genuine and
original in nature and should not be copied from anywhere else.

Learners have to carry out computerization/automation of any business process as a part


of this project. They may choose any manual system or may carry modification to the existing
applications. Project Report can be done as per the Learners Choice & in any organization,
though not mandatory.

Students, who wish to do their Project Report from any organization, are required to take
NOC from the concerned organization, to carry out the Code of the Project done.

The project covers Study of existing system & System Requirements, Analysis, Design and
Coding. Learners should submit their Project Reports as per the guidelines given by DBRAU.
Project Reports which are not as per the guidelines will not qualify for evaluation.
1) Understanding the significance of Project

Most of the students are under an impression that if good layout is proposed then it will help
them in scoring good marks but the quality of project is analyzed by proper write-ups. It
provides an opportunity for learners to demonstrate originality and to plan and organize the
project work and put the practical approach of all the topics studied in the entire curriculum.

2) Meaning of Project

A project is a study of factual information for comprehending and applying the various concepts
of the course into practice. Its main purpose is not to generalize but to study the situation with a
practical orientation.

3) Steps in Project Formulation

a) System Study
b) System Analysis
c) System Designing
d) System Development
e) Implementation and Testing

4) Project Supervisor(Guide)

Projects can be guided by any:

1) Person having Ph.D./M.Tech. in Computer Science.


OR
2) A person having B.E/B.Tech (Computer Science), MCA, M.Sc (Computer
Science) with minimum 2 years experience in Industry / Teaching.

5) Project Proposal

A proposal as per the format given should be prepared once the topic is selected. It should not
be more than 3-4 pages and need not be sent separately. The format for the same is:

a) Title of Project
b) Objectives
c) Need for topic and Modules
d) Tools and Technology to be used in Project.
e) Methodology and Procedure of Work
f) Detailed information of Guide (Name, Address, qualification and Experience)
6) No Objection Certificate

If the project is carried out in a company or organization, then a certificate for no objection of
same needs to be presented. It should mention that the organization has no objection in
publishing the findings of the project study.

The certificate should contain the name of authority with signature and company stamp
and should be given on company’s letterhead and duly signed by authorized signatory.
