All the students enrolled for BCA Programme, are to carry out a software project as part of
curriculum. At the end of the semester the students are to submit a written project report to be
forwarded to GGSIP University. The aim of the project is to give the students an integrated
experience in solving a real-life problem by applying knowledge and skills gained on completion
of theory papers and in-house practical papers during BCA course. It provides an occasion for
students to realize the importance of resource and time management, ownership of task towards
deliverables, innovation and efficiency in the task management. It also provides a good opportunity
for students to build, enhance and sustain high levels of professional conduct and performance and
evolves a problem solver frame of mind in students at early stage. It also prepares students for
taking up responsible assignments in the corporate establishment.
As per the syllabi of BCA (Paper Code: BCA-307), students of Semester V are to write a project
report comprising of 4 credits. The project report has two components, viz.
(b) Internal : Project (40 Marks), it includes continuous evaluation from idea
generation to final presentation.

Scope of Project
The SRS worked out during the summer training are to be converted into an application using
front& back-end tools during the V semester as a software project independently by each student .It
is partly the responsibility of the student to find a relevant topic for his/her project and decide it in
consultation with the guide allocated to him/her. The project work shall be an application
development in a language/platform that the student has learnt during the previous semesters. It
shall be an in-house development. Each student is required to carry out the independent work
and submit the report individually.
Methodology
General Guidelines that are to be performed to conduct the summer training project are given in
details in Appendix-A.
The student will submit his/her project report/thesis in the prescribed format, as given
hereunder, after the second presentation. The project report/thesis should include:
a) ONE hard copy (Maroon color with golden print) of the project report / thesis.
b) Soft copy of project on CD including all resource code/ compiled binary code and the
manuscript in MS-Word document format.
The Guidelines for the format to be used for compilation of the project report are given in
Appendix-B. All students are to adhere to these guidelines.
Appendices
The appendices are to be attached at the end of the report and to be numbered as Appendix-A,
Appendix-B etc right justified at the top of the page. An appendix may have annexure (s). If there
are annexure, these are to be attached immediately after the said appendix. The annexure are to be
numbered as Annexure-I, Annexure-II, Annexure-III and Annexure-IV etc.

Appendix ‘A’
1. The project should be original, of real-life value, and not copied from existing material
from any source. A student should ensure that he understands what is expected by
preparing a requirement document of his understanding and get it reviewed by the guide.
2. Design document should also be reviewed and code should also be peer reviewed.
3. A user manual has to be prepared and reviewed.
4. Testing has to be thorough and at various levels, followed by an acceptance test based on
the requirement document and user manual.
5. Students should follow the steps as discussed in Software Development Life Cycle while
writing dissertation and use Software Engineering Methodologies for development of
deliverables, mere programming will not be sufficient. Students must note that
interviewers for job are often more interested in the problem solved, alternatives that could
have been tried and the benefits derived from the developed application, rather than just
implementation details.
6. One Project will be submitted only by one student. However, if the nature of the project is
very big & large enough to be divided in different independent big modules having an
estimated required effort of minimum 06 weeks to be developed by one person, can be
taken up and designed in such a way that every student will be responsible for one module
and will submit only that specific module as it were a complete software project.
7. Every student has to get his / her synopsis approved from the guide.
8. The synopsis must be brief i.e., not more that 4-6 pages. It must address details like
(however, students may follow the SRS format of IEEE for writing Synopsis)
a. Name / title of the project,
b. Statement about the problem,
c. Why the Particular topic is chosen? It must address Present State of the Art.
d. Objective and scope of the project,
e. Analysis, Design, Development & Testing Methodology,
f. H/W& S/W to be used,
g. Testing Technologies to be used,
h. What contribution / value addition would the project make?
i. Limitations / constraints of the project,
j. Conclusion, Future Scope for Modification,
k. References and Bibliography.
9. After approval of the Synopsis, Students will need to give Two Presentations /
Demonstration, as per the schedule fixed by their respective Institutions or University.
First Presentation will ideally be given after Design Phase is over. Second should be given
when System Testing is over. First Presentation should be given in the first month. Second
Presentation (Projects) is in second month. Final Project reports should be given latest by
the end of the third month of the semester.
