MINI PROJECT
III YEAR / VI SEM
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of the mini project is that the student has to understand the real time software development
environment. The student should gain a thorough knowledge in the problem and language /
software which he/she has selected for their project work.
Project Planning:
B.Sc (Computer Science / Information Science)/BCA Mini Project is an involved exercise, which
has to be planned well in advance. The topic should be chosen in the beginning of final year itself.
Related reading training and discussions of project should be completed in the first term of final
year.
I Selection of Team
To meet the stated objectives, it is imperative that mini project is done through a team effort.
Though it would be ideal to select the team members at random and this should be strongly
recommended, due to practical consideration students may also be given the choice of forming
themselves into teams with Two members. A team leader shall be selected. Team shall maintain the
minutes of meeting of the team members and ensure that tasks have been assigned to every team
member in writing. Team meeting minutes shall form a part of the project report. Even if students
are doing project as groups, each one must independently take different modules of the work and
must submit the report.
II Selection of Tools
No restrictions shall be placed on the students in the choice of platform/tools/languages to be
utilized for their project work, though open source is strongly recommended, wherever possible. No
value shall be placed on the use of tools in the evaluation of the project.
III Project Evaluation:
Continuous Internal Assessment : 40 Marks
Evaluation (External) : 40 Marks
Viva-voce (jointly) : 20 Marks
There shall be a common written examination conducted for all the candidates in each group
together for a minimum of 10 minutes.
