Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA)
Course Title: Project II Course Code: CAPJ356
Credit Hours: 2 Cr. Year/Sem.: III/VI
Class Load: 4 Hrs./Week (Practical: 4Hrs) FM: 100/ PM: 40
Course Description: This is fully practical course and expects the practical implementation of the concept
learnt by students during first three years of their study. However, it should not be limited to the boundary
of syllabus. So, the students can go beyond this and make their project work more realistic and technically
sophisticated.
Course Objectives: The general objectives of this project work are to make student able in implementing
concepts learnt by sixth semester so that they will be able to develop applications of their own choice. The
specific objectives are to make students able to:

 Lead a software project development

 Use CASE tools
 Implement algorithms to solve problems
 Write programs and improve programming skill
 Write test cases for software testing and improve QA skill
 Improve problem solving skill
 Improve report writing kill
 Improve presentation skill
Thematic Details:
Nature of Project: This is an academic project focused on development of computer applications.
Although the students can work in group of at most two members (justifying the individual effort
in project), students are encouraged to develop project individually. Students should be encouraged
to develop web based, mobile based or desktop based applications using the language technologies of their
expertise and comfort. Students can develop the applications using database operations and sophisticated
algorithms. The students can rely on the appropriate language technologies that they have learnt till sixth
semester, however it is not limited. Students should use appropriate CASE tools. Students may work on
projects like Web applications, Information systems, E-Commerce Portals, Game applications etc. While
implementing the project, students should be encouraged to write their own modules rather than relying on
APIs or Plugins (except in some unavoidable circumstances). The application/system developed should
contains reporting and other related advanced features (Decision making, Business Intelligence, based on
algorithms or any appropriate statistical tools) in addition to CRUD operations. It should be bit more
sophisticated than the project done in fourth semester. Significant amount of literatures/papers has to be
reviewed and included in the report.
Phases of the Project:
The following are the three phases which should have to go though:
1. Proposal submission and defense: Students must submit and present project proposal within 20
days from their first class of the sixth semester.
2. Mid-Term defense: Students must submit progress report and defend midterm progress of their
project work in the 12th week of the sixth semester.

 3. Final submission and defense: Students must submit and orally defend the project work during
last week of the sixth semester, before final board examination. Students must have to submit the
project final report to their respective department before 10 days of final defense date. The report
should be submitted in standard format as prescribed. The hard/soft copy of report should be made
available to the external expert before a week of presentation date. The final presentation will be
followed by the demonstration session, where students have to illustrate/simulate the project. A
viva-voce will be conducted by evaluation committee.
Focus of the Study: Each student should have equal participation in every phase of the project. The students
should focus on the following different software development phases during the development of their
project work:
1. Problem Identification
2. System Analysis
a. Feasibility study
b. System Requirement specification (SRS)
3. System Design
a. Architecture Design
b. Interface Design
c. Database/Procedure/Algorithm Design
4. Implementation and Testing

Provision of Supervision: There should be a regular faculty of the campus/college assigned as a

supervisor. The role of supervisor is to guide the students throughout the project and provide
constructive suggestions. A supervisor can supervise at most four groups of the project in a class
section. The supervisor should rigorously supervise, monitor and feedback the project groups
under supervision.

Evaluation Scheme:
a. Term wise marks distribution:
First Stage (Proposal Defense) of 10% of total marks based on project proposal and presentation.
Second Stage of 70% of total marks based on:
 Work done 50% (System analysis and design, implementation, understanding of methods
used in project, ability to identify problems, amount of work performed)
 Documentation 20% (Report organization, writing style, completeness of report,
readability, organization and analysis of data and results)
Third Stage (Viva-voce) of 20% of total marks based on presentation, project demonstration and
viva-voce. Each student must present about the project followed by the demonstration of project
developed. The project should be ready to run for the demo session.

The 10 marks (first stage of evaluation) will be evaluated by the research committee formed by
HoD/Coordinator as a part of proposal defense. The 70 marks (second stage of evaluation) will be
evaluated by the supervisor and internal examiner as a part of midterm defense and final defense.
Out of 70 marks, the supervisor will evaluate for 50 marks and internal examiner will evaluate for
20 marks. The remaining 20 marks (third stage of evaluation) will be evaluated by the external
examiner from the university.
Out of 100 marks, the 80 marks will be considered as internal assessment while the 20 marks will
be considered as external assessment. Individual student in the project should get passed in each of
the internal and external assessments separately. Any student failing to pass each of the assessments
will be counted as fail.
