3. Final Defense of 20o/o of total marks based onpresentation of intemship work and viva-
voice.

The 5 marks of the proposal defense will be evaluated by the research c'ommittee formed by
HoD/Coordinator/Supervisor as a part of proposal defense. The 75 marks of the midterm will.
be evaluated by the HOD/Coordinator, Supervisor and Mentor as a part of midterm defense.
Out of the 75 marks, the HOD/Coordinator will evaluate for 5 marks, the supervisor will
evaluate for 35 marks and the mentor examiner will evaluate for 35 marks. The marks from the
mentor should be provided to the corresponding campus/college in confidential manner. The
remaining 20 marks of final defense will be evaluated by the extemal examiner from the
university.

Out of 100 marks, the 80 marks (Proposal + Midterm Evaluation) will be considered as internal
assessment while the 20 marks Defense) will be considered as external assessment. Each
student in the internship should get passed in each of the intemal and external assessments
individually. Any student failing to pass each of the assessments will be considered as fail.

The evaluation committee and evaluation criteria should be as follow:

a. Evaluationcommittee
- InternshipSupervisor

Course Code: CACS452
Year/Semester: IV/VIII
Class Load: Hrs.Aileek (Practical: 12 Hrs.)

Course Description: This final year project is a practical course where students are expected
to implement the concepts learnt during four years of their study so as to build a system. The
course includes realization of project management, software development, and programming
skills.
Course Objectives: The objective ofthis course is to make students able to design and develop
software applications by following appropriate development methodology"

Course Details:
Nature of Project:

Students should develop a complete functioning system. The system should not be limited to
the basic CRUD operations only. Being a final year project, students are highly recommended
to implement appropriate algorithms relevant to the project. The project should include precise
system analysis, design, implementation and result analysis. The students can work in group
of at most two members. The students can choose appropriate language technologies that they
have learnt till eighth semester; however it is not limited. While implementing the project,
students should be able to write their own program modules rather than relying on predefined
APIs or Plugins except in some unavoidable circumstances.

Phases ofProject:

The following are the phases of project work:

4- Proposal Submission: Students must submit and present project proposal after 3rd
week of start of the eighth semester.

5 Mid-Term: Students must submit progress report and defend midterm progress of their
project work in the l2th week of the eighth semester.

6. Final Submission: Students must submit and orally defend the project work during last
week of the eight semester but before final board examination. Students must have to
submit the project final report to their respective department before at least ten days of
final defense date" The report should be submitted in standard format as prescribed. The
hard/soft copy of report should be made available to the external expert before a week
of presentation date. The final presentation should be followed by the demonstration
session, where students have to demonstrate the project" A viva voice will be conducted
by evaluation committee.

Provision of Supervision:

There should be a regular faculty of the campuslcollege assigned as a supervisor . The of

supervisor is to guide the students throughout the project and provide constructive
A supervisor can supervise at most four groups of the project in a class

demonstration of project developed. The project should be ready to run for the demo
session"

The 10 marks of the proposal defense will be evaluated by the research committee formed
by HoD/Coordinator as a part of proposal defense. The 70 marks of the midterm will be
evaluated by the supervisor and internal examiner as a part of midterm defense" Out of the 70
marks, the supervisor will evaluate for 60 marks and intemal examiner will evaluate for 10
marks. The remaining 20 marks of final defense will be evaluated by the external examiner
from the university.

Out of 100 marks, the S0 rnarks (Proposal + Midterm Evaluatiau) will be considered as internal
assessment while the20 marks Ginal Defense) will be considered as external assessment" Each
student in the project should get passed in each of the internal and extemal assessments
individually. Any student failing to pass each of the assessments will be considered as fail.
