The aim of the project is to give the students an integrated experience in solving a real life problem by applying knowledge and skills gained on completion of theory papers in a course at a given Level. It provides an occasion for students to realize the importance of resource and time management, ownership of task towards deliverables, innovation and efficiency in task management. It also provides a good opportunity for students to build, enhance and sustain high levels of professional conduct and performance and evolves a problem solver frame of mind in student. It is also felt that taking up the project by a student prepares him for a job in industry and elsewhere. The Project should be original, of real life value, and not copied from existing material from any source and a certificate to this effect will be provided with the Project, duly countersigned by the Supervisor. A student must obtain at least 50% marks in project evaluation and viva-voce separately to qualify for A / B / C Level. The examiner designated by DOEACC Society will intimate the exact location for the conduct of both Project evaluation and viva voce.

General Guidelines for the Students' Project A student who is planning to do a project should consult carefully in advance with his project supervisor/guide. It is not possible for the industry/other organization to allocate a complete development project to a student. A student should ensure that he understands what is expected by preparing a requirement document of his understanding and get it reviewed by the guide in the industry. Design document should also be reviewed and code should be peer reviewed. A user manual has to be prepared and reviewed. Testing has to be thorough and at various levels, followed by an acceptance test based on the requirement document and user manual. Student should take the responsibility to make sure of what is expected and deliver it after ensuring that it meets the expectations. Often some students are asked to build an application using a software package. In this case naturally, programming will be minimal. But the student can and should follow all other steps of Software development Life Cycle. Industry would appreciate if a student uses Software Engineering methodology, even though they may not be able to guide adequately the Software Process. Interviewers for job are often more interested in the problem solved, alternatives that could have been tried and the benefits derived from that application, rather than the implementation details. Hence, a student must put in effort to find answers to questions about the application, which will also enhance the value of the project report. The results of the project may not be proprietary to any company or organization and the results may be freely disseminated. This includes, but is not limited to, the final report, oral presentation, and any noncommercial software developed while completing the project. Any exceptions to this rule must be stated in writing and included with the project proposal when formal acceptance is sought.
Candidate's Eligibility: The candidate could be from an accredited institute or may be a direct entry candidate. The Project is to be selected by the student reflecting knowledge gained by him during the course of study. The subject selected by the student needs formal approval of a Supervisor / Guide.
How to identify/select a Project Title? Identifying a project title is an important task for each student. Based on the knowledge and skills gained, a student develops a certain amount of interest and skills in specific areas as also he may develop a certain linkage with industry and other employers which creates an interest in his mind for undertaking a student project. He should not only consult the supervisor/guide but should have wider discussions with his fellow students, teachers and managers in the concerned recognized institute. Some of the titles which may act as guidelines for identifying a project are given on follow link. It is emphasized that these projects are indicative and should not be considered to constitute an official list of student projects. These are merely suggested topics for guidance of the students and faculty/management, who should develop a wider list for taking up the projects by the students at the respective institutes.
The project report should have a certificate as per the proforma given at follow link in case of A,B and C Level, duly signed by the candidate and one of the following : i] Centre Manager of the institute where the candidate has undergone an accredited course and the project work; or ii] the expert/guide in the case of a direct candidate.
