1. Objectives:
The major project is designed to help students develop practical ability and working
knowledge of practical tools / techniques to solve real life problems related to the industry,
academic institutions and research in the field of computer science / information technology.
Each student needs to take up this major project as an individual. Projects could be based on
Application Development Technologies learnt in previous and or current semesters. As part
of the major project each student will have to prepare proper documentation consisting of
Software Requirements Specification (SRS), Modeling Techniques, Development Strategies
and Implementation Strategies.
