The following document describes the mutual benefits which the industry/institute, students and the department of computer science and technology may get as a result of the six months industrial project interaction.
The prestigious institute G H Patel Post Graduate Department of Computer Science and Technology is well known for offering a number of full-time and part-time courses in the field of computers and IT. The success and long-term achievements can be attributed to the following KEY ELEMENTS of the department.
Faculties
The department comprises of more than 20 teaching/technical staff members. Their vast knowledge and experience helps to shape up the overall development of the students and ensure a bright future.
Students
The cream among a large number of students is filtered to provide exposure to IT and related technologies by means of entrance examination. The curriculum of the department is set so as to help the student bloom and shine like a star in the sky of IT.
Facilities
The department holds a vast network of computer nodes, intranet, internet facilities in addition to the huge collection of books in the library. An ever-growing server farm consisting of all the latest technology-ware provides awareness about the latest platforms and growing technologies to the students.
For partial fulfillment of 3-year MCA course-curriculum:
In the last semester of MCA, students have to undertake a six months full time project work. The project work is usually done in the industry so that the students get benefit of hands on experience on various software development, get exposure to the working environment in the industry and know practical implication of whatever was theoretically learned in the early semesters of the MCA course.

Knowledge Maketh A Student |
By the end of the fifth semester the students have acquired the following:
v In-depth study of
Essentials : Computer networks
System software
Compiler design
Shell programming
Software Engineering Principles
Analysis & design of algorithms
Parallel Distributed systems
Simulation & Applications of Artificial Intelligence
Business Information Systems
Operating : Novell Netware, Linux
System Windows 98/2000/NT/
Windows 2000AS, Solaris,
Tru64 Unix
Database : Oracle 8i, MS-Access
Technology Foxpro etc.
Other Tools : Excel, MS-Project,
Web Authoring Tools,
Microsoft .NET, etc.
Languages : 8086 Assembly, Java,
Visual Basic, VBScript,
C/C++, Visual C++ etc.
v Students are also aware about subjects such as:
ü Wireless networks
ü Bio-informatics
ü Trends in IT
as per their electives.
v Adequate experience and use of the existing department resources and network.
v Students make regular visits to various industries and organizations and prepare observation reports that provide an exposure to the real working environment and incorporate observation skills.
v A number of seminars are conducted regularly both by the department faculties as well as guest experts in different fields. The students attend these, which add to their knowledge.
During the 5th semester in-house software development, students, in a limited way get exposure to the life-cycle of system development. Several good projects like client-monitoring system, voice to text, finger-print recognition, pattern/character recognition, font generation software, office automation tools, on-line examination system etc. have been undertaken successfully.
Students acquire good communication skills by means of seminars related to the course syllabi and project presentations.
The subjects such as business information systems are a means to incorporate within students good management skills.

Organization’s Helping Hand |
Considering the knowledge the fact that this is the first step of students towards the real industry, the organization may lend a helping hand in the following ways:
v Organization may provide a general idea about the project definition to the students and may as well help them to select a suitable project that is beneficial to both the student and the organization.
v Organization may extend a guide/supervisor, who monitors the progress of the students as well as guides them as and when required. For any technical help the department may also be contacted.
v Organization may support the students with adequate computational resources needed for the proposed software development.
v An organization that can provide a project definition but is insufficient in terms of resources may ask for the department’s support for the resources required.

Student's Innovative
Contribution |
The students having been through the 5-semester curriculum within the department have sufficient knowledge of various technologies and thus given a new tool, they can gain required expertise within a short period of time and use it efficiently. With the analytical capabilities as well as vision about the latest technology students can present the following innovations:
v They can contribute towards the design and development of a new system or may detect the inefficiencies of the existing system and help to re-design it.
v Students can present their ideas to use the latest technologies and tools that would serve for the optimal benefits to the organization.
The department may extend its support towards the students in the following ways:
v The staff of about 20 members consisting of faculties and technical assistants may be approached at any time for any type of guidance/assistance required by the students during any of the stages of the software development life cycle.
v The department extends its full computing resources, laboratory facilities, library facilities and network facilities to the students as well as the guide/supervisor during the working hours.
v The progress of the students is evaluated, monitored and recorded by the department, by means of fortnightly reports submitted by the students.
v The students, faculties as well as the guide/supervisor may access the department’s intranet/extranet facilities to interact and share the queries of any type.
v In case of unavailability of resources in the organization the department may extend its resources for use by the students.
The organization and the students both are benefited through this industrial project venture. The organization that provides exposure to the students may have multifold benefits such as:
v The work done by the students is a property of organization.
v The work done by the students may be considered as a prototype model and further decision about the implementation of the new technology or about development of full-fledged software may be taken.
vDepending on the performance of the student during the project work, the organization may appoint him/her in the organization as the candidate is already aware about the work culture in the organization and may be helpful in further stages of software development for the system being developed as well as the new ventures undertaken by the organization in future.
The benefits to the students may not be over-looked:
v The students get first hand experience about the actual working conditions in any organization as they are bound to work as per the rules.
v Field exposure and practical knowledge about software development including all the stages from analysis through implementation and testing is gained in abundance.
vTechnical knowledge is gained as the students use different types of resources, tools, networking conditions and develop a new software.
