PROJECT COURSES

PRJ-403/404 PROJECT COURSES FOR SE/MBC/FBC

The objective of the final year project for SOFTWARE ENGINEERING is to provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge and expertise gained in the first three years, towards independently developing a software project. The students are expected to go through different phases of a Software Development Life Cycle viz. Initial Proposal, Requirement Analysis, Design, Coding, Testing and Deployment. The project is also intended to enable students to learn the current tools and technologies employed in the industry.

The objective of the final year project for MBC/FBC is to provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge and expertise gained in the first three years, towards independently solving a real life business, management or finance problem. The students are expected to go through different phases of a Project viz. Initial Proposal, Market Analysis, Implementation and Final Presentation. The project is also intended to enable students to learn the skills and technologies employed in the industry.

Both SE and MBC/FBC projects will be executed in groups, each group comprising three students. The duration of the project will be two semesters (30 weeks). It will be divided into two parts: Project Part I(PRJ-403) and Project Part II (PRJ-404). Only students who qualifying in Project Part – I will be allowed to proceed to Project Part – II.

Each project will have two supervisors, External and Internal.

The External supervisor will be an industry professional who will provide technical guidance in the execution of the project. Each project group will hold weekly meeting with the External supervisor. A report of the meeting will be prepared by External Supervisor (on prescribed form) and given to students in sealed envelope. The students are required to submit the meeting report to the internal supervisor in the next project progress meeting.

The Internal Supervisor will be a faculty member of the School. The Internal supervisor will monitor the progress of the project in weekly meeting and help in removal of any difficulties and issues related to the project. The Internal Supervisor will collect the Progress Report of project group’s meeting with External Supervisor. The Internal and External Supervisor will be jointly responsible for grading the project in accordance with pre-defined criteria.
