WHAT IS FINAL YEAR PROJECT AND WHY WE DO IT?
▪ Our objective is to train you to face the challenges of future in your area of
expertise.
▪ We want to create best students of Computer Science who will become best
programmers, developers, analyst, scientists and entrepreneurs of Pakistan 2030.
To do this an extensive training is required:
▪ Team building
▪ Skill development
▪ Managements (Time and others)
▪ Planning
▪ Controlling and Execution
▪ Commitments
▪ Deadlines
▪ Best Projects outcomes to become best products of tomorrow

FORMATION OF GROUPS
▪ In DCS we recommend students to work in a small groups which can be of 2
members and 3 members maximum. In special cases an induvial can submit the
project.
▪ Each group is allocated a supervisor and a group number
▪ Although you are working in a group but you will be assessed on the basis of your
progress individually throughout the year.

Asst. Prof. Syed Faisal Ali - Department of Computer Science 4/14/2017 9

SUPERVISION AND ASSESSMENT
• Each group will agree to meet with the supervisor at least once in 15 days.
• Report any issues with the supervisor or Final Year Projects In-charge early enough.
• The panel will get the performance input from the supervisor and based on the
individual performance the panel will individually perform the assessment.
• So you must participate in the group.
• 4 Milestones, Supervisor feedback, Poster Session, Project Report, Final Viva &
Presentation, and External Examiners from Industry.

BUILDING A PROBLEM FOR A PROJECT
• First document your idea and discuss it as a group.
• Then present that idea as your project proposal.
• Also look at what has already been done in relation to your idea and see what is
missing. Visit Google to find the similarities and uniqueness in your project.
• Watch on plagiarizing those projects.
• Watch out for those lazy students who want to steal your idea and present it to the
department as their project title even when your idea is still young!
