Annexure 10 : MCA 402 -Project Guidelines The Master of Computer Applications (MCA) programme prepares the students to take up positions as Systems Analysts, Systems Designers, Software Engineers, Programmers, mobile/web developers and Project Managers in any field related to information technology. As part of the curriculum, all students who are into their fourth semester will have to carry out a project preferably in the software industry or any research organization for the duration of one full semester. The objective of the MCA project work is to develop a quality software solution. During the development of the project, the student should be involved in all the stages of the software development life cycle like requirements engineering, systems analysis, systems design, software development, testing strategies, 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 knowledge of the principles of software engineering practices, so as to participate and manage large software engineering projects in the future. Students should take this project work very seriously, and carry out the same individually. This project should be taken as an opportunity to develop software, which gives exposure to SDLC. Topics selected should be complex and large enough to justify as MCA project. The project should be genuine and original in nature and should not be copied from anywhere else. If found copied, the project report will be forwarded to the Exam Discipline Committee of the University as an Unfair means case for necessary action. Students should strictly follow and adhere to the project guidelines. -

Not more than one student is permitted to work on a project.

-

Each student should be involved in each and every phase of Project Development. If it is found that the student is not involved in any phase; for example, the coding phase, it may lead to the rejection/disqualification of the project at any stage.

-

The title of the project should be kept the same throughout the project ( from guide approval until the final submission of the project).

Project Report

All the candidates of the MCA final project are required to submit a project report based on the work done by him/her during the project period. The important specifications are as follows. o The report must contain 100 to 120 pages. o The cover should be in a Navy blue color. o The front format will be given from the college.

Annexure : Organization profile Give a brief background of the organization where the student has developed the project Document Glossary, Figures, Tables A list of abbreviations should be provided in the document glossary. Each figure and the table should be labeled. You should create an index for these like the table of contents. References : ➔ Books: Any references you made to books and papers should be listed here with the book name, edition, name of author, and publisher. ➔ Websites: Any references you made to websites should be listed here with the URL and date of access. User Interview Questionnaires Sample Project code / Algorithm if the project code is not available​. * ​Students who have done their project for any organization are permitted to attach detailed algorithms/specifications instead of code, in case the organization doesn’t permit them to attach the code. The student needs to attach a letter in the project report from the Project Manager of the project in the organization that they are not permitting students to attach the code. In the absence of such a letter, the student needs to attach the code compulsorily. The project report should be hardbound; should consist of a Contents page; all pages of the 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.
