This approach encourages creativity, flexibility, and exploration of various technologies. By prioritizing open-source technologies, students can leverage a vast array of resources and community support, Commonly employed tools include IDEs, version control systems (e.g., Git), programming languages (e.g., Python, Java), databases (c.g. MySQL), and web frameworks (¢.g., Django, Ruby on Rails). The evaluation process focuses on the project's content and implementation rather than the specific tools chosen, ensuring a fair assessment of the students' skills and problem-solving abilities. Project Guid Assigning a project guide to each project or group is a mandatory requirement to ensure the successful completion of the project work. The guide plays a crucial role as a mentor and technical expert, providing. invaluable support and guidance to students. They are expected to facilitate effective communication and teamwork, review project proposals, assign schedules, and monitor progress on a regular basis. Additionally, guides are expected to offer timely feedback, provide guidance on project planning and implementation strategies, evaluate the quality of work, and promote professionalism and ethical conduct. Their expertise and involvement are essential in helping students navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and achieve their project goals effectively Project Team Size: | -2 members Project Proposal: The project proposal is a mandatory document that serves as a foundation for the project. It helps students define their project idea, receive early evaluation and feedback, establish clear communication with the project guide, and take ownership of the project's successful execution, A formal proposal ensures systematic and professional project planning, fostering critical thinking, effective communication, and project management skills. The proposal provides a roadmap and increases the chances ofa successful outcome. Before initiating a project, itis mandatory to submit a project proposal for approval. The original duly approved project proposal should be attached to the final project report. The project proposal for UG computer science projects should include the following contents: © Title Introduction ‘© Objectives: Clearly state the objectives of the project.
