in house.

Faculty members may offer project proposals from their side and students may choose from
them.

Students may also submit project proposals not covered in the faculty provided list, which may
be guided by the interested faculty members.

Co-guidance with external institutes/industry may also be allowed.

Same project ideas may be submitted by more than one student group, but may be unique at the
implementation level, as per the judgment of the department.

Students may be encouraged to take up more innovative projects involving contemporary

technologies, leading to research paper and/or patent publications.

Minor Projects from the previous semester may also be carrying forwarded with significant up
gradations.

Technical seminar:

Industry seminars are suggested to enable the students of MCA to appreciate the software
developments which are going on in industries in India. These seminars will help the students to
face interviews with some confidence. The students should attend these and submit a report.
The following points are listed to enable the college to organize these seminars.

1. Three to four organizations (Industry, Public sector organizations, Govt. organizations) are
requested to present a detailed case study of one or many applications in their organization.

2. Presentation covers in detail all aspects of a project from conception to implementation and
maintenance. Design is discussed to cover all factor that influenced the design. Planned and
achieved benefits of the application are also stressed.

3. In order that the students take the presentations seriously, groups of students are assigned to
prepare a detailed synopsis of each presentation, copies of which are distributed to others.

4. One session could be a survey of new applications in the Indian environment during the past
year, as ascertained from a survey of news paper articles. This is to be done by a group of
students.

5. College can invite potential employers to participate in the inauguration- and valediction of
the seminar so that the efforts of the college get noticed by employers.

6. It is neither necessary nor possible to have an examination on the seminar. Idea is that the
motivated students get an opportunity to seek answers to questions on worthwhile
computerization on our economy.
