Guide lines forBCA Project

The Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programme is designed with the objective
to prepare the students to take up positions in it industries as programmer, systems
designers, software engineers, etc. The curricula are designed to provide students
comprehensive knowledge covering the skills and core areas of computer science in theory
and practical’s. With the same objective six months major project is part of curricula in last
semester of BCA. In the major project students are supposed to develop quality software
solutions by applying theoretical and practical knowledge of various courses learnt.

Objectives

The objective of the project is to help the student develop the ability to apply theoreticaland
practical tools / techniques to solve real life problems related to industry, academic
institutions and research laboratories. After completion of this project work, the student
should be able to describe the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) related to their
project:
• Evaluate systems requirements.
• Evaluate a problem definition.
• Collect in formation to determine requirements.
• Perform and evaluate feasibility studies like cost-benefit analysis, technical feasibility,
time feasibility and operational feasibility for the project.
• Work on data collection methods for fact finding.
• Construct and evaluate data flow diagrams.
• Constructandevaluatedatadictionaries/decisiontrees/decisiontable.
• Createandevaluategraphicaltoolsassystemsflowcharts,entity-relationship(er) diagrams
and state transition diagrams.
• Preparation of Software Requirement Specifications (SRS)and hardware
specifications.
• Plan the systems design phase of the SDLC.
• Identification of Functional &Non-functional design requirements.
• Design and evaluate system outputs.
• Design and evaluate systems inputs.
• Design and evaluate validity checks for input data.
• Design and evaluate user interfaces.
• Perform coding for the project.
• Prepare documentation of project
• Perform various testing techniques/strategies.
• Be able to generate various reports in project.
• Able to deploy the project on machine/lab/real time environment
• Identification of the maintenance procedures.
• To decide the future scope and further enhancement of the system.
• Plan for appendices(ifany)tobeplacedinsupportwiththeprojectreportdocumentation.
Types of Project

The majority of the students are expected to work on real-life project preferably in some
industry/ research and development laboratories / educational institution / software
company. 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 her/his supervisor and if approved,
the student commences working on it.

Project Synopsis Format

The project proposal should be prepared in consultation with supervisor. Approval of the
project proposal is mandatory to continue and submit the project work. The projectproposal
should clearly state the project objectives and the environment of the proposed project to be
undertaken.

The project proposal should contain complete details in the following form:
• Title of the project
• Name of the supervisor(external supervisor(company)from /internal supervisor
(teacher of the BCA))
• Introduction and objectives of the project
• Analysis(DFDs,ERdiagrams,classdiagrams,timelineetc.Aspertheprojectrequirements).
• A complete structure which includes:
• Name of modules and their description
• Database/data structures description
• Process logic of each module(flow chart)
• Reports generation.(repot format)
• Tools/platform, hardware and soft ware requirement specifications
• Organization/companydetailswithprofileofsupervisor(ifprojectiscarriedout outside the
department)
Project Work Guidelines
The project work should normally include software development.
Not more than two students are permitted to work on a project.
The project maybe done in the university campus/concern study instituteorin an approved
sponsoring organization in view of the proposed topic.
Acandidateisrequiredtopresenttheprogressoftheprojectworkduringthesemesteras per the
schedule.

Libre & PDF format should be in a kept in a thick envelope and must be pasted inside of
the back cover of the project report.
Two copies of the original project report in bound form are to be submitted. Each
group is required to prepare individual copy of project report in CD and submit along with
his/her project report in MS Word / Libre as well as PDF. The same must contain thereport,
results, screenshots, errors, databases, source codes (wherever it is not feasible explicit
approval from the supervisor must be obtained).
Project Evaluation
Internal evaluation is done on the basis of flowing
▪ Project analysis &planning
▪ Project design &development
▪ Project testing &validation
▪ Project documentation
▪ Project presentation &viva
To fulfill the above three presentation must be carried out phase wise in the whole semester
for internal assessment of the project.
