IT Project Reports: Five Guidelines

It is Disherataning to see that, Project reports At the MCA and B.Tech level are many times substandard. This   has lead to a situation where employers laugh at these projects and do there own asessment. How to get out of this situation.I am giving five guidelines to avoid this

1. Do not imitate previous reports

Imitating a substandard report will produce a stll suubstandard report. This kind of process continues and finally bad imitatations of reports written in the COBOL age are being circulated.Even if it is not pretty good students muse ephasise on writing there own reports.

2. Do the system study.

        Many projects done at these levels are toy projects which does not have anything to do with reality.If you want to do something first go and conduct a systen study.This gives you greater confidence.

3.Adhere to software engineering principles and coding standards.

Many projects do not have any documentation. Databases are never normalised and worser we see that no testing is done.This is a very bad situation and students should be encouraged to do normalisation and adhere to coding standards.

4.Do not copy from text book.

  Many project reports are verbatim copy of the things from atandard textbooks and nothing more. This trend should be  avoided. Students should be asked to write things in their own words.

5.Validation is a must . 

It is often seen that projects do not have any validation of fields.This is a very bad habit and should be avoided.
