Need an idea for FYP ?

Final Year Project : Every student in the university has to select a final year project in his last year/semester of university life. It seems that the selection of FYP is the most difficult work to do as many students used to be worried for it. Specially the IT students. Are you the victim of same problem?

What you actually need to do is to observe your surroundings. Find out the problems in your surroundings which can be solved through the technology. I saw many students inspiring by technologies from Microsoft, or the mobile applications craze these days. Without an idea how could you select a technology I couldnt make out this. Teachers asked students to select Android for development or Windows Phone 7. May ask you sir, Why ? Why should anybody waste his one whole year working on a bogus idea on that technology. Most of people do this mistake.

Find out the technical solution of a problem in the society. It doesn't mean that everybody start making an sms application for Patients, or the apps which couldnt be used by the makers themselves. You can find a genuine problem in daily life, in addition to this you can find out the problems even on internet etc. All you need to do is to just observe and noticed the change which is required. For instance I have a problem that I cannot share my word documents on Facebook with people. Can you provide me a solution? (Just make you understand).

The project should not be technical enough but caters the small niches to capture a specific target audience. If your project couldn't benefit anyone except giving you the marks in papers then its better not to do any project. 1000 solutions are freely available on Codeplex and Codeproject just pick one and give it as an FYP. Select a project which could solve a problem, and benefit people. There are hundreds of example of the projects which are technically not strong but made their makers successful in life. 

What I believe FYP is an opportunity for any student to learn the technology and help the society as well. Which is badly needed. I saw students of Singapore, Japan, and Malaysia who used to work on such projects, which our students afraid to think about it. I never saw a robotic project by IT students. I never have seen any social service project from any student. Either you are afraid of doing so or not wanted to do so. Ideas are scattered everywhere in your surrounding. Catch them and arrange them in order and lets see a small but fruitful application will be the resultant in front of you..!
