Master of Computer Application Project Work
1. Introduction
The course titled “Project work” bearing the subject code MCA 6020 is of
16 credits.
The basic aim of Master of Computer Applications (MCA) program is to
prepare the students as Programmers, Systems Analysts, Systems
Designers etc. in the field related to computer science and information
technology. Students can also aspire to go for higher studies in this area.
The project work is part of the MCA program will give an opportunity for the
students a hands on experience in developing quality software applications.
During the development of the project a student should involve himself in all
the stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC) like requirements
analysis, systems design, software development/coding, testing and
documentation, with an overall emphasis on the development of reliable
software systems.
The primary emphasis of the project work is to understand and gain the
knowledge of the principles of software engineering practices, and develops
good understanding of SDLC.
The MCA students are encouraged to involve themselves completely on the
project work in their final semester. It is advised to students to develop their
project for solving problems of software industry or any research
organization. Doing this will give more exposure to handle real life problems
of project development.
Students should take this project work very seriously. Topics selected,
should be appropriate enough to justify as a MCA project. The project
should be genuine and original in nature and should not be copied from
anywhere else.
Qualification of a Guide:
A Post Graduate in IT with specialization in appropriate area.
The guide should have a minimum of 5 years of Industry/Teaching
experience.
At a given session a guide can supervise a maximum of 20 projects.
Role of a Guide:
As a guide you are expected to offer suggestions to fine tune the
problem identified and in synopsis preparation. The problem identified
should be sufficient enough for a study at MCA level.
The guide has to monitor and review the project work periodically with a
minimum two reviews during the course of the project.
The guide has to go through the draft project report and offer
suggestions wherever necessary and to confirm that the project report is
submitted as per the prescribed format.

System Analysis:
This stage includes defining the system environment required to implement
the chosen project, Systems Requirements Specification (SRS) and
software specification. In SRS, you must specify
Project planning and project scheduling Data integrity and constraints.
Indicate the technology used and substantiate it with brief explanations.
System Design:
This includes
Modularization details (Students must strictly implement the various
stages of software development).
Implement the various activities that are performed during the
Requirements phase and support it with proper outputs and the
necessary graphical representations like Data Flow Diagrams D.F.D,
E-R diagrams, Flow charts. (Database design/Procedural Design/Object
Oriented Design/input and output Design).
Properly document the detailed design specifications and methods
adopted during Design phase.
Development:
This stage involve actual development of the software:
Perform coding of the project with the software used. This will include
(i) Complete Project Coding (ii) Comments and Description
(iii) Standardization of the coding/Code Efficiency (iv) Error handling
(v) Parameters calling/passing (vi) Validation checks.
Debugging and Code improvement.
Documentation:
On completion of the project Development, the student has to prepare the
final project report. The entire project work is to be documented as the
Project Report. The guidelines for project report preparation is given in
