Final Year Project

FSC > FYP

Final Year Project


FYP Registration

Registration rules: 

  • For FYP-1 registration, you have to meet the eligibility criteria.
  • An FYP group must consist of 2 or 3 members (Cross-departmental groups are not allowed). 
  • If any FYP group is taking a project with an external supervisor, then it must have an internal supervisor, who is a faculty member of the Fast School of Computing. The registration form has to be signed by the internal supervisor. The signature of the external supervisor will not entitle a student to FYP registration.

Eligibility Criteria

A student must have

    1. The CGPA (>=) greater than or equal to 2.0 (not on academic warning)
    2. No deficiency: Earned credit hours (>=) greater than or equal to 100.
    3. One-course deficiency: Earned credit hours (>=) greater than or equal to 96.  
    4. Two-course deficiency: Earned credit hours greater than or equal (>=) 92.

Registration Process for FYP-I

Once you get the email from the FYP coordination committee about the opening of FYP registration, do the following: 

  1. Fill and submit the online registration form, FYP-1 Online Registration Form. (Only one form per group needs to be submitted.)

  2. Fill out the FYP-1 Registration Form, (only) get it signed by the internal supervisor at your earliest, and submit it to the FSC Academic Office. You are not required to get the HoD's signature and the FYP coordinator's signature on the form; the department will do it once you submit the form. (Only one form per group needs to be submitted. This form should contain details of all the group members). 

  3. FYP group members with no course deficiency will have to register themselves through Flex also. (The department will not register them on Flex.)

  4. FYP Group members with a one-course deficiency have to write a registration approval request to the HOD. This application is to be submitted along with the FYP registration form, which contains the whole group’s information. Also, attach your transcripts to your application. You can use the template application from here.

  5. FYP Group members with a two-course deficiency have to write a registration approval request to the Campus Director. This application is to be submitted along with the FYP registration form, which contains the whole group’s information. Also, attach your transcripts to your application. You can use the template from the application from here.

  6. If you need any special Hardware or Software subscription for your FYP, please fill out the FYP Hardware/Software Requisition Form. Attach this form to the registration form and submit both to the FSC academic office. The last date for submitting the Hardware Requisition Form to the Academic Office is two weeks after the FYP Registration Deadline (in case you do not know the hardware required at the start).

The application of students with one or two deficiency courses will be handled by the department. After approval from the HOD and/or director, the department will register these students on flex within two weeks. Do not follow up for two weeks. (Do not email or directly contact the HOD or Director for approval. Your application is enough. If there is any issue with the application, the department will contact you.)

Only one registration form per group needs to be submitted. All the approval request applications by group members with one or two course deficiencies have to be attached to this registration form. For example, if 1st group member has 92 credit hours, he will attach his application to the Director, if 2nd group member has 96 credit hours, he will attach his application to the HOD, and if 3rd group member has 100 credit hours, he will directly register through Flex. 1st and 2nd group members will also attach their transcripts to the applications.  

Registration Process for FYP-II
 
FYP-II students must register themselves only through Flex.

FYP Ideas

FYPs offered by the Faculty

If you are interested in any of the projects offered by the faculty, you can directly contact that faculty member.

FYP-1 offered by the Industry

If you are interested in any of the projects offered by the industry, do the following steps:

  1. Confirm that you meet all of the requirements given in the project details.
  2. Find an internal supervisor who is willing to supervise the industry project you are interested in.
  3. The internal supervisor will contact the industry focal person. After discussion and mutual agreement of the internal supervisor and industry focal person, students can get registered in FYP I (see the FYP Registration section given above)

Deliverable I - FYP Poster

The FYP poster is a condensed representation of an FYP. It should be neat, attractive, and very inviting. Posters will be evaluated by the faculty panel. Groups will be shortlisted to present their project posters at the Job Fair. This will allow showcasing your work to companies during the Job fair. FYP groups will design the posters, and the university will get all the approved FYPs printed.

 

The following is a list of recommended poster guidelines: You may see Sample posters for reference only.

    1. The Poster size must be 24'' x 36'' or 2 x 3 feet.
    2. The orientation of the poster should be Portrait.
    3. Your poster should include the Logo of the University and the name of your department, "FAST School of Computing, Computer Science Department" at the top. 
    4. Don't use too much text - just highlight your major points. Use bullets whenever possible.
    5. Make sure that the font is large enough for people to see it from a meter away.
    6. Illustrations and visualizations of concepts (maps, pictures, photos, design drawings, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs, "screen captures") look nice and can often say more than words.
    7. Make sure you spell check! (Also, note that capitalized words are often skipped by most spell checkers.) 
    8. The top-left part may contain the title of the project, names of the group members, and the Supervisor(s).
    9. The top-right part may contain the Project Goals.
    10. The bottom part may contain the Project Plan and the list of tentative deliverables for the final FYP-1 evaluation.
    11. While staying within these guidelines, there is plenty of scope for individual creativity through the use of different fonts, colors, backgrounds, and graphics.
    12. Do not include too much information. Too much text may obscure the main message of the poster. Limit the information to the key information; rely on answering questions and on your project summary to get across the details.
    13. Use graphics where appropriate.
    14. The recommended tool for making posters is Adobe Photoshop.
