Objectives:
1. To provide the practical knowledge of project undertaking by focusing on
planning, requirements elicitation, design, development and implementation
of a project.
2. To provide the knowledge of Programming tools currently used in the market
by carrying out a project.
3. To teach students to work and solve problem in a team environment
4. To provide the knowledge to formulate project documentation and oral
presentation for his/her project.

Procedures:
The project course requires students to get themselves involved in a group
consisting of generally 3-4 members and work jointly in a team, on a
proposed task under the direct supervision of the faculty members of their
respective department. The project may be selected in consultation with the
industries and they shall be software and or electronic hardware based. The
project may be done using any programming language or any platform and it
may be any type of application e.g. Scientific Applications, Information
Systems, Web Applications, Games, Simulations etc but it must find its
practical usage in daily life and it should be relevant, as possible, to the local
industry environment and its demands.
The project must be started at the beginning of the semester, span throughout the
semester and finished by the end of that very semester. The project should be
undertaken preferably by group of 3-4 students who will jointly work and
implement the project. Term work will be jointly assessed by a panel of examiners
as appointed by head of the institution. Oral examination will be conducted by
internal and external examiners as appointed by the college.

Project Work Phases:

The entire project work shall be divided in to three phases and evaluation
shall be done accordingly:
 First Phase:
The students are required to form a team comprised of 3-4 team members and
come up with a conceptual framework for their project work which must be
documented in the form of a Proposal and presented in front of an examiner
in a formal presentation lasting for about 10 minutes, on the date prescribed
by the college or concerned department. 30% of the marks shall be based on
the following criteria:

Evaluation Criteria:
Task Accomplished (20%)
 Feasibility Study
 Requirements Analysis and Specification
 Project plan
 Creativity, Innovativeness and Usefulness of the Idea

Documentation (10%)
 Proposal Report
 Estimations
 Time Line
Second Phase:
The students are required to show the progress of their work and the work
done so far must be justifiable. They must have finished the design phase
including the overall system/architectural design and validation scheme. 50%
of total mark shall be based on the following criteria:
Evaluation Criteria: Task Accomplished (40%)
 System/Architectural Design
 Depth of Project work
 Progress
 Level of achievement
 Group/Team Effort
 Ability to propose solutions

Documentation (10%)
 Report organization
 Completeness and consistency of the report
 Validation Criteria
 Organization and analysis of data and results
Third Phase (20%):
 All students must have finished all phases of their project work including
requirements analysis, design, coding, testing on time by the time they come
for the Final Project Presentation.
Students must come up with a visible output of the product that they have
developed and perform an oral defense of their work in the presence of an
external examiner (external to the department or from industries). The final
presentation should be conducted on the last week of final semester term as
far as practicable.
Evaluation (20%):
 Presentation
 Completeness, Consistency and Final Output of the Project
 Viva
 Final Project Report
