Guidelines for Preparation of Project Report
for Diploma Students
(Final Semester)
INTRODUCTION
The Project work constitutes a major component in most Professional Programmes. 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 Diploma requirements, but also provides a mechanism
to demonstrate your skills, abilities and specialization. The Project work is one that involves
practical work for understanding and solving problems in the field of computing. 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.
OBJECTIVES
After going through this unit, student should be able to:
• demonstrate a systematic understanding of project contents;
• understand methodologies and professional way of documentation;
• know the meaning of different project contents, and
• understand established techniques of project report development.
IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT
The Project is not only a part of the coursework, but also a mechanism to demonstrate student’s
abilities and specialization. It provides the opportunity for them to demonstrate originality,
teamwork, inspiration, planning and organization in a software project, and to put into practice
some of the techniques they have been taught throughout the previous courses. The Project is
important for a number of reasons. It provides students with:
• Opportunity to specialize in specific areas of computer science;
• Future employers will most likely ask about project at interview;
• Opportunity to demonstrate a wide range of skills and knowledge learned, and
• Encourages integration of knowledge gained in the previous course units.
PROJECT: TABLE OF CONTENTS
The project report should contain a full and coherent account of student’s work. Although there
will be an opportunity to present their work verbally, and demonstrate the software, the major
part of the assessment will be based on the written material in the project report. They can expect
help and feedback from course coordinator. The Annexure I, Annexure II and Annexure III should
be added in the Project Report. The suggestive structure of a project report should be as given
below:
