OR Other Graduates / Non-Computer Science B.Tech / M.Sc (such applicants are required to pursue CIC concurrently with MCA 1st semester) OR Graduates with PGDCA from a Recogniaed / Deemed University or its equivalent course not less than one year from a State Board of Technical Education, or its equivalent body established by the Central / State Government. Note: (i) The students who haven’t studied Mathematics at 10+2 level are required to do CS-60 in the first semester of MCA programme. (ii) The students enrolling for the MCA programme who have completed the DOEACC O-level programme are not required to enroll for CIC.

1.2

Duration of the Programme (Minimum - 3 Years, Maximum - 6 Years)

To fulfil the requirements for acquiring the MCA, a student may clear all the courses in three years. If a student fails to clear all the requirement of courses in three years s/he may be permitted to stretch it over a period of another 3 years. In case a student is unable to pass all the courses of the MCA programme in 6 years, s/he may be permitted to stretch it for another 2 years by taking readmission to the courses which s/he is unable to successfully complete. In such cases, the student has to seek readmission as per the “Re-admission” rules, and pay the requisite fee. Practical sessions in subsequent years are at the discretion of the University and subject to payment of the fees for the same. 1.4

MCA Programme Structure 80 5

The programme has been divided into two semesters per year (January-June and July-December). Consequently, there will be two examinations every year - one in the month of June for the January to June semester courses and the other in December for the July to December semester courses.

Completion of CS-60 and CIC

The students who don’t have Mathematics at 10+2 level and opted for CS-60 and the students who have opted for CIC are advised to clear them along with the first year of MCA courses. However, all students have to successfully complete the CS-60 and CIC (wherever applicable) before reregistering for MCA 5th semester. 1.4

Associate Studentship Scheme

There is a provision of Associate Studentship scheme in MCA wherein the student can register for a minimum of 8 credits and a maximum of 32 credits. This scheme is permissible for any course(s) of any programme offered by IGNOU, subject to the conditions that the students fulfill the minimum eligibility requirements for the respective programme and also should undertake the minimum and maximum credits specified. Students are not eligible for admission under Associate Studentship scheme to the course(s) of the programme(s) where clearance of an entrance test is mandatory and also to the programmes where the intake is to a limited number of seats. 1.9

Student to Counsellor Ratio

For Theory counselling 60 students– One counsellor. For Practical counselling 30 students – One counsellor. 1.10

Computer to Student ratio

Computer to student ratio should be 1:2. 1.11

PGDCA Certification

After the successful completion of all the courses of the first year of MCA, the student will be awarded the Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) by the University.

Practical Sessions and Compulsory Attendance

80 7

The practical sessions will be held in the computer centres / labs of the Programme Study Centres. In these computer labs, the participants will have the facility to use the computer and software packages relevant to the syllabus. The following points regarding the practical attendance are to be noted down: (i)

(ii) (iii)

(iv) (v)

1.13

70% attendance is compulsory for each lab course. However this condition is not applicable for the computer time allotted for assignment implementation for theory courses. This is a pre-requisite for taking the term-end practical examination in the respective lab courses. A student who fails to fulfill the 70% attendance requirements will be allowed to reregister for that lab course. However, for fee details and the application form, students will contact the regional centre concerned. Students are required to prepare a separate lab record for each lab course. The practical counselor should duly sign this lab record after each session. Student attendance will be recorded course-wise at the study centre.

Concept of Observation book and Lab record for lab courses Observation book: (i) The basic objective of this observation book is that, whenever the lab session is scheduled, the student comes prepared for lab session by completely writing the programs / solving the problems. (ii) These have to be executed on the computer and should compulsorily show the required output to the lab in-charge and get them signed on the book. Lab record: (i) The problems s/he has executed successfully in the previous lab session are to be recorded by referring to the observation book. (ii) The lab in-charge should crosscheck with the observation book before s/he signs on the lab record. (iii) Marks allocated for the lab record too.

1.14

EVALUATION SCHEME

Completion of the programme requires successful completion of both assignment component and the Termend Examination component for each of the course’s in the programme. The total numbers of courses in this MCA programme are 31 and the total number of credits is 108. Evaluation for each course covers two aspects: (a) (b)

Continuous evaluation through Assignment with a weightage of 25% (please refer to the table below). Viva- voce is compulsory for all the Assignments for which 20 marks are allocated. Term-end examination with a weightage of 75% (please refer to the table below).

Note: A learner should not apply for appearing at the term-end examination of any course without getting registered for the same and that if s/he does so, her/his result would not be declared and the onus shall be on him.

9.1

Assignments and Term - End Examination

The main purpose of assignments is to test student’s comprehension of learning the materials they receive from the University and also to help them get through the courses by providing feedback to them. The information given in the printed course materials should be sufficient for answering the assignments. However, as the Computer Science is ever enhancing area, the students should make an attempt and work with extra reading material easily available in the study centre / Regional Centre libraries or through websites for working on the assignments. This will enhance your learning capabilities. Mostly the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course material, exploit their personal experiences and apply the knowledge gained from various sources. Assignments: There will be only one assignment for each course worth 100 marks (weightage of 25%). The set of all the assignments for each semester are given in one booklet that you will get along with your course material as well as the same will be uploaded on the IGNOU’s website also. 80 37

Table shown below is the detailed marking scheme for the MCA courses.

80 38

No practical examinations in the non-lab courses. Practical examination will be conducted in the lab courses only. The letter ‘L’ in the course code represents the lab course. Pass in each and every section in the practical course of Term End Practical Examination is compulsory to in order to declare it successful in the respective course. ** There will be 3 elective courses of 3 credits worth. *** The Project consist of 2 components namely project report evaluation and viva. Viva-voce is compulsory and forms part of evaluation. A student in order to be declared successful in the project must secure 50% marks in each component (i) Project Evaluation and (ii) Viva-voce.

All the assignments and term-end exams will be scored on a numerical marking scheme. Any component that has not been attempted would be treated as having a score of zero marks. The requirement for passing would be at least 50% in continuous evaluation and 50% in the term-end examinations, with an overall average of 50% for a pass in the course. The viva voce is compulsory for the assignment evaluation. For any course, in case, if a student submitted the assignment and not attended the viva-voce, then the assignment is treated as not successfully completed and would be marked as ZERO. In order to be able to appear for the Term-end examination, it is a requirement that the student submit all the assignments according to the prescribed schedule. All students will be required to give an undertaking to this effect, and should it be later found that they had in fact not submitted the assignments as prescribed; the results for the Term-end examination will be treated as cancelled.

Viva-voce is compulsory for all the Assignments for which 20 marks are allocated. Unfair means in attempting the assignments If the learners copy the assignments, which is an important component of the ODL system, such assignments will be awarded “zero” and direct such students to re-attempt the fresh assignments pertaining to the next year which will indirectly delay the award of degree by a semester / year. Additional guidelines for Lab Course Assignments and TEE The following are the evaluation guidelines for the lab courses. (i)

Evaluation of Assignments for Lab Courses

The assignments of lab courses consist of three parts: • • •

Continuous assessment of practical sessions (lab records) (total 40 marks), Assignment questions (total 40 marks) A combined comprehensive viva-voce worth 20 marks

The marks allotment details for various lab courses are shown in the following table:

A student needs to obtain a minimum of 50% in each section of the term-end practical examination for successful completion of that particular section. In case a student does not secure the minimum passing marks in a section, s/he needs to appear for the term-end practical examination for only that section again.

9.2 Early Declaration of Results In order to facilitate the students who have got offer of admission and or selected for employment etc and are required to produce marks-sheet/grade card by a specified given date may apply for early process of their answer-scripts and declaration of the results for this purpose. The students are required to apply in the specified format available on the University website with a fee of Rs.500/- per course through Bank Draft drawn in favour of IGNOU along with the attested photocopy of the offer of 80 40

admission/employment offer. The students can submit their requests for early declaration before the commencement of the Term-end Examination i.e., before 1 st June and 1st December respectively. The University in such cases will make arrangements for processing the answer-scripts and declare the results as a special case. 9.3 Re-evaluation of Answer-script(s) The University has replaced the scheme of rechecking with the re-evaluation where by the answerscripts will be re-evaluated by another Evaluator in case the students are not satisfied with the marks/grades secured by them in Term-end Examination. Such students can apply for re-evaluation within one month from the date declaration i.e. the date on which the results are made available on the University Website on payment of Rs.300/- per course in the prescribed application form available on the University Website. The better of the two courses or original marks/grades and re-evaluated marks/grades will be considered and the revised marks/grades shall be incorporated in the students’ record as applicable and the revised grade card/marks sheet will be sent to the students within one month from the receipt of application. Re-evaluation is not permissible for Projects, Practical, Assignments and Seminars etc.

9.4 Improvement of Division/Class Keeping the interest of students who have completed their Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree Programmes, but falling short of 2% marks for securing 1 st Division/2nd Division the university has made a provision for allowing such students to improve their performance. The improvement is permissible only in theory papers and the students may apply for improvement of their performance on the prescribed application format along with a fee of Rs.300/- per course through a Bank Draft drawn in favour of IGNOU payable at Delhi and submit the application and fee to the Registrar, SRE Division, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi.

Project specification Coding / Implementation Testing Documentation 80 42

Counsellor The MCS-044 Mini-project counsellor is the person who motivates and helps students during the development of the project. The counsellor should take responsibility for guiding and approving different project processes, including Analysis, Design, Coding, Testing, and also the editing of project reports. Moreover, the main responsibilities of a counsellor are: • • • • • •

Dedicating adequate time to the student for providing effective supervision and encouragement, Making sure that the student chooses a manageable project topic, Providing critical comments on the student’s work and progress, Ensuring the student has access to necessary data, Encouraging the student to proceed in the intended direction and to agreed time limits, and Making sure that the project is the student’s own work.

PROJECT SUBMISSION Project Proposal Project proposal should be presented to, reviewed by and agreed upon in consultation with the project counsellor to provide constructive feedback on the proposal and planned programme of the project work. The preparation of the Project proposal report may be taken to be an opportunity for students to practice their report writing skills. It is expected that this report will contain an overall structure for the project analysis along with a substantial part of the survey of technologies. The survey of technologies, and associated list of cited references, would be complete at this stage. The project proposal should contribute to some of the content of the final report. It also provides the counsellor with an opportunity to make constructive comments on the written work completed at this stage. Submission of the Project Proposal One copy of the original project proposal with filled proforma is to be submitted to the Study Centre concerned. Students can discuss about their topic with counsellors at study centres. Counsellors will give suggestion on the project synopsis. Project Report The project report will contribute to the assessment and your marks. The format of this report will follow the format, guidelines and suggestions given in this block, but details should also be discussed with your counsellor. The final reports of students doing the project in a group should not be identical. Each student should emphasise on his/her role and responsibilities in the project work. Submission of the Project Report One copy of the original project report is to be submitted to the Study Centre concerned. A photocopy of the same project report must be retained by the student, which should be produced before the evaluation. EVALUATION SCHEME The project will be assessed by a written report and a combined presentation and viva voce (viva voce). To help the students we have given some guidelines about evaluation and assessment in the next section. If, the examiner finds that the project is lacking in any key areas then, the student will be asked to re-submit the project.

80 43

Resubmission of the project by the failed students If the student fails in project report evaluation or viva-voce or in both, the students needs to redo the entire process by selecting a new problem from the list of problems which will be updated every year. Project Synopsis/Proposal Students can discuss their project topic and proposal with counsellors at study centres during counselling, however, each student must send their complete project proposal to the counsellor with the proforma of the project proposal given in appendix 2 of guidelines. Further, counsellors will give suggestion on the project proposal/synopsis; students should modify the project work according to the suggestions given in the proforma of the project proposal.

Assignment/Continuous Evaluation 25% of total marks are allotted to continuous evaluation. If the student failed only in assignment component and successfully passed in project report evaluation and viva-voce, s/he needs to submit the fresh assignment of the current year, as is done in the normal courses. Final Evaluation 75% of total marks are evaluated in the final evaluation. These 75 marks will be given, based on the evaluation of project report. The weightage will be given to analysis, design, coding / implementation, testing and viva-voce. Viva –voce will be evaluated. The external examiner needs to enter the project report evaluation marks and viva-voce marks in the prescribed format enclosed. IMPORTANT: MCS-044 course has three main components consisting of assignment (25 marks), project report (50 marks) and viva-voce (25marks), A student is required to score 50% marks in each of these components separately for successful completion of the course. Scheme of Mini Project Evaluation The Term End Practical Examination of Mini Project will be conducted at the study centre concerned. An Approved evaluator will evaluate a maximum of 25 project reports along with the viva voce, in a day. Appointment of an approved external examiner is mandatory whose criteria is given in next section, for the final evaluation and conduct of viva-voce of MCS-044. Project evaluator criteria The eligibility criteria for external evaluators of MCS-044 may be considered as given below: • •

All the approved project evaluators of BCA/MCA can be approved as the external examiner. If more examiners are required the Study Centers/PSC should forward the biodata of the proposed evaluators in the prescribed format through regional director of the RC concerned for taking approval from SOCIS.

Payment Norms An examiner in addition to conveyance allowance may also be paid a minimum of Rs. 500/- and a maximum of Rs. 1000/- per day (for a work involving 8-10 hours) for a group of up to 25 students and the payment to other staff like machine room operator, attendant etc. may be made as per the University’s norms. 80 44
