This document provides guidance on writing a project proposal. It discusses choosing a topic, identifying strengths and gaps, problem scoping, and the various phases of a project. Key points include: - A successful project proposal is well-planned, concisely packaged, unique, time-bound, and rationally appeals to donors. - Choosing a topic involves identifying strengths, consulting faculty, researching literature less than 5 years old, and asking questions about why, who, what, when, and where regarding the topic. - Identifying gaps involves analyzing the present status and problems, devising alternatives, and scoping the challenges, approaches, and time/resource boundaries. - Project phases include conceptualization, feasibility, planning

9. Importanceofproject
An essential part of learningprocess
Analyzing the subject ofconcern
Involves you in close investigation of thechosen
subject
Implementation of learning both practicallyand
theoretically
Helps in developing research and writingskills
Develops a student’s creativity, rationalskills,
critical thinking, planning and problem solving

10. Choosing Topic
Choosing the area
Identify your strengths and innovative aspects
of project
Critical Thinking
Research
Identify gap

per the guidelines
Text referencing ismandatory
Copying more than 3-4 wordswithout
referencing is plagiarism

18. Analyzethecriticalityofimplementation
Clearly mention the limitation of theproject
Initially write pseudocode
Run it manually and then write final code
Check if concept and operational methodis
justified
Acknowledge possible errors, limitations and any
contradictory evidence
Justifyit
