questions from the rest.
1. (a) Design the following for a simple "Project
Proposals Management System". The
project proposals of BCA/MCA
programmes are received at Regional
centres, situated all over India. The final
year students of BCA/MCA submit their
project proposals to the respective regional
centres in either of the 2 slots per year i.e.,
(i) Apr. - June and (ii) Oct - Dec. The
submitted synopsis details are entered aid a
PP NO. will be issued to each of the
