BCA-604 Project and Viva

The objective of the BCA project work is to develop a quality software solution by following software engineering principles and practices. During the development of the project, the students should involve in all the stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC). The main objective of this project course is to provide learners with a platform to demonstrate their practical and theoretical skills gained during five semesters of study in the BCA Programme. During project development students are expected to define a project problem, do requirements analysis, systems design, software development, apply testing strategies, and do documentation with an overall emphasis on the development of robust, efficient, and reliable software systems. The project development process has to be consistent and should follow standards. For example, database tables designed in the system should match the E-R Diagram. SRS documents are to be created as per IEEE standards.

Students are encouraged to spend the maximum time of the sixth semester working on a project preferably in a software industry or any research organization. Topics selected should be complex and large enough to justify as a BCA final semester project. The courses studied by the students during the BCA Programme provide them the comprehensive background knowledge on diverse subject areas in computer science such as computer programming, data structure, DBMS, Computer Organization, SAD, Software Engineering, Computer Networks, etc., which will be helping students in doing project work.
