PREPARATION FOR THE PROJECT
1.
Project Report Formulation:
The project report should contain the following:
i)
Original copy of the Approved Proforma and Project Proposal
ii)
Bio-data of the guide with her/his signature and date
iii)
Certificate of Originality
iv)
Project documentation
v)
A CD consisting of the executable file(s) of the complete project should be attached on
the last page of the project report. In no case, it should be sent separately.
2.
The project documentation may be about 100 to 125 pages (excluding coding). The project
documentation details should not be too generic in nature.
Appropriate project report
documentation should be done, like, how you have done the analysis, design, coding, use of
testing techniques / strategies, etc., in respect of your project.
To be more specific,
whatever the theory in respect of these topics is available in the reference books should be
avoided as far as possible. The project documentation should be in respect of your project
only. The project documentation should include the topics given below. Each and every
component shown below carries certain weightage in the project report evaluation.

System Analysis
Identification of Need
Preliminary Investigation
Feasibility Study
Project Planning

Bibliography
Appendices (if any)
Glossary.
Attach a copy of the CD containing the executable file(s) of the complete project.
3.
The project report should normally be printed with 1.5 line spacing on A4 paper (one side only).
All the pages, tables and figures must be numbered. Tables and figures should contain titles.
4.
If any project report is received in the absence of the approved project proposal proforma (in
original), project synopsis, bio-data of the guide with her/his signature on it, certificate of originality
and CD it will be summarily rejected and returned to the student for compliance.
5.
Throughout the project report, the title of the project should be the same as per the approved
synopsis. Signature of the Project Guide in the Certificate of Originality should match with the
signature in the Project Proposal proforma also.
6.
Only one copy of the original project report in the bound form along with the CD (containing
the executable file(s) of the project should be enclosed in the last page) is to be submitted to the
IGC concerned. One photocopy of the same Project Report and the CD containing the executable
file(s) must be retained by the student, which should be produced before the examiner at the time
of viva-voce.
7.
A photocopy of the project report is not acceptable for submission. Kindly mention on the top of
the envelope MCA PROJECT REPORT (MCA-305)
8.
Title of the project should be kept the same through out the project.
GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT EVALUATION
Each component of the project work carries its own weightage, so the student needs to concentrate on all
the sections given in the project report formulation.
In this section, we have given a few general parameters as checkpoints for the assessment of any
software development project. You can note these points and emphasize them during the project report
preparation and examination. Assessment will be based on the quality of your report, the technical merit
of the project and the project execution. Technical merit attempts to assess the quality and depth of the
intellectual effort, you have put into the project. Project execution is concerned with assessing how much
work you have put in.
Project Evaluation
The Project Report is evaluated for 400 marks. A student in order to be declared successful in the project
(MCA-305) must secure 50% marks
Unfair means
Projects copied from other students will be considered to have used unfair means. If two projects are
found identical zero marks will be awarded to both of them. In such a case the projects will have to be
resubmitted on new topic.
