IGNOU

The objective of the MCA project work is to develop quality software solution by following the software engineering principles and practices. It is only possible when a learner goes about with the task independently. During the development of the project, the students should involve in all the stages of the software development lifecycle like requirements engineering, systems analysis, systems design, software development, testing strategies 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, so as to participate and manage a large software engineering projects in future.

Students are encouraged to spend at least six man-months 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 MCA project. The courses studied by the students during the MCA programme provide them the comprehensive background to work in diverse application domains. A student will receive Project Guidelines along with their 5th-semester-course material. Students should strictly follow and adhere to the MCSP-060 project guidelines.

Below is the Sample.
