Mumbai University-Third Year -Semester VII Information Technology Syllabus (Revised)Final Year PROJECT Semester 7 Mumbai University

Guidelines:

1. Project Topic:

• To proceed with the project work it is very important to select a right topic. Project can be undertaken on any subject addressing IT programme. Research and development projects on problems of practical and theoretical interest should be encouraged.

• Project work must be carried out by the group of at least two students and maximum three and must be original.

• Students can certainly take ideas from anywhere, but be sure that they should evolve them in the unique way to suit their project requirements.

• The project work can be undertaken in a research institute or organization/company/any business establishment.

• Student must consult internal guide along with external guide (if any) in selection of topic. Out of the total projects 35 percent may be allowed as to be industry projects, 65 percent projects must be in house.

• Head of department and senior staff in the department will take decision regarding projects.

• Student has to submit weekly progress report to the internal guide and where as internal guide has to keep track on the progress of the project and also has to maintain attendance report. This progress report can be used for awarding term work marks.

• In case of industry projects, visit by internal guide will be preferred.

• Make sure that external project guides are BE graduates.

2. Project Report Format:

At the end of semester a project report should preferably contain at least following details:-

• Abstract

• Introduction

• Aims and objectives

• Literature Surveyed

• Existing system (if any)

• Problem Statement

• Scope

• Proposed System

• Methodology (your approach to solve the problem)

• Analysis

• Details of Hardware & Software

• Design details

• Implementation Plan for next semester

3. Term Work:

Distribution of marks for term work shall be as follows:

Weekly Attendance on Project Day 05 Marks Project Report (Spiral Bound) 10 Marks Term End Presentation (Internal) 10 Marks The final certification and acceptance of TW ensures the satisfactory performance on the above three aspects.

4. Final Assessment:

Project – I examination should be conducted by two examiners appointed by university. Students have to give demonstration and seminar on the Project – I.
