2 INFORMATION S REALTED TO PROJECT The Post Graduate Diploma In Computer Applications (PGDCA) programme prepares the students to take up positions as Systems Analysts, Systems Designers, Software Engineers, Programmers and Project Managers in any field related to information technology. The PGDCA students are encouraged to spend at least six months working on a project preferably in a software industry or any research organization. Approval of the project proposal is mandatory to continue and submit the project work. The objective of the PGDCA project work is to develop quality software solution. The primary emphasis of the project work is to understand and gain the knowledge of the principles of software engineering practices. Students should take this project work very seriously, as these efforts will be considered as 6-months experience in most of the software companies. The project should be genuine and original in nature and should not be copied from anywhere else. If found copied, then it will be cancelled automatically. The project must be prepared with the help of your PGDCA course languages like VB6.0, C & C++. Inclusion of Header and Footer is mandatory in the Project Report. I wish you all the success.

It needs to be carried out with due care, and should be executed with seriousness by the students. The project work is not only a partial fulfilment of the PGDCA requirements, but also provide a mechanism to demonstrate your skills, abilities and specialisation. The project work should compulsorily include the software development. Students are eligible to submit the project proposals after entering into the 2nd semester of PGDCA, as per the calendar of the project. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the project is to help the student develop the ability to apply theoretical and practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry, academic institutions and research laboratories. After the completion of this project work, the student should be able to: Describe the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Evaluate systems requirements. Complete a problem definition. Evaluate a problem definition. Determine how to collect information to determine requirements. Perform and evaluate feasibility studies like cost-benefit analysis, technical feasibility, time feasibility and Operational feasibility for the project. Work on data collection methods for fact finding. Construct and evaluate data flow diagrams. Construct and evaluate data dictionaries. Evaluate methods of process description to include structured English, decision tables and decision trees. Decide the S/W requirement specifications and H/W requirement specifications. Plan the systems design phase of the SDLC. Design and evaluate validity checks for input data. Design and evaluate user interfaces for input. Estimate storage requirements. Construct and evaluate entity-relationship (ER) diagrams for RDBMS related projects. Generate various reports. Be able to prepare and evaluate a final report. To decide the future scope and further enhancement of the system. Steps involved in the project work The complete project work should be done by the student only. The role of guide should be about guidance wherever any problem encounters during project. The following are the major steps involved in the project, which may help you to determine the milestones and regulate the scheduling of the project: Select a topic and a suitable guide. Prepare the project proposal in consultation with the project guide. Prepare the project report. 10 P a g e
