As per the MCA curriculum, during the final semester every student should do a project based on any of the recent technologies. This project work aims to enable the students to apply the software engineering principles on a real software project, to make the students familiar with the stages of a deployment pipeline and to develop a software product using the latest software development methodology.

The project shall be an individual project. Students shall identify Real-Life Projects which are relevant and useful to the society or industry. A faculty from the department will be assigned as the Internal Guide and another faculty is assigned as the Scrum Master to continuously monitor the project development. Git is used for Version Control and Git commit history have been verified as part of project evaluation. LaTeX or an equivalent tool is used for preparing their Presentations and Project Report.

Also, Project exhibition of top 10 projects is conducted towards the end of the project development. External experts are invited to evaluate their projects and the outstanding project(s) will be recommended for the Best Project Award of the year.

The Department has adopted innovative teaching learning methodologies so as to foster effective listening and thereby improve student outcomes. The goal of teaching is to promote learning. The strategies we deploy helps to promote learning. Trying out different strategies in the classroom is an iterative process to help us promote learning more effectively and successfully.

Flipped Classroom

In a flipped classroom students review lecture material at home and work on projects and assignments in the classroom. Students in the flipped classroom complete an assigned work typically sent home as homework in class. The flipped classroom provides a great space for peer-to-peer collaboration.

Think-Pair-Share (TPS)

Think-Pair-Share (TPS) is a cooperative learning activity that can work in varied size classrooms and in any subject. Instructors pose a question, students first THINK to themselves prior to being instructed to discuss their response with their partners (PAIR). Discuss and SHARE these to the whole class.

Think Pair Share Re-Pair (TPR)

Think-Pair-Share-Re Pair (TPR) is a cooperative learning activity that can work in varied size classrooms and in any subject. Instructors pose a question, students first THINK to themselves prior to being instructed to discuss their response with their partners (PAIR). Discuss and SHARE these to the whole class , pair again to incorporate their suggestions too

Two-Minute Test

Random test of two minutes to know how the portions taken in that hour have been understood by the students.  Also they can specify the questions that remain in their mind.

Jigsaw Groups

Jigsaws are another active learning method. Students are divided into groups and given different pieces of information. Students in each group are then tasked with learning the information enough to be able to explain it to someone else. The students are then assigned to different groups where they explain their information to the other members. They complete this process until each group has the full picture of information to complete the puzzle.

Video Lectures

Along with the lectures, students are provided with the video lectures of some of the courses. This is beneficial especially to the slow learners of the course as they can play the video at their own pace.
