Feasibility analysis of projects (FYP)

Whenever a project is started it requires a lot of work initially done before starting it..Which includes FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS....... Project feasibility is the most important thing which guides the whole project till its end.   But students are not very much focused to do so. They usually neglect this area and their major focus usually is technology....

The most important part of any projects's Feasibility is the Cost-Benefit Analysis. Final year students should learn to prepare a project feasibility report before starting any project. If any of them would prepare it then only tangible benefits and tangible cost is take under consideration. Most of them doesn't count the number of hours each person gave to the project. other intangible cost factors like the brain storming, technology and other things learning etc.

Similarly intangible benefits, like awards, certificates and recognition are all intangible benefits, while monetary rewards...reselling the product and earning cash...OR earning the GRADE are direct revenues and tangible benefits which a developer or his group earn... So before you start any project, always think about the number of hours given to that project and the benefits you can extract through such efforts...The more the benefits are the successful the project would be.

Information Technology Exhibition & Competition 2012 (ITEC)

One day i was receiving hell of messages on facebook...the chat with full of spirit, enthusiasm, anger and emotions were going on... Who would be the president of ITEC (Information Technology Exhibition & Competition)? And i was laughing at them, if they 're curious about POSTs then how would they be able to organize a massive event..? all things get decided later and then the working got started... struggles were there , spirit was there and last but not the least a vision was there...

The day i got the invitation, still was confused (would it be happened or... :/ ) as previous experiences were not much good. But my juniors made it done. they proved that they can do as good as it was done earlier. Despite of the management chaos, university pressure, faculty SUPER-VISION and other issues ITEC was organized and very well organized. Sponsors like Mazik , ASUS, Frontal Labs ( with innovative products) and others who were there made it fabulous.I was asked to judge the software project exhibitions...To mark the Projects average ones would be the injustice with some of them.

Projects/Ideas were awesome but again the lacking thing was business perspective. The vision of IT students has restricted and confined to the Learning (so called) and Jobs. Very few of them have business logics with them although every idea/project was fantastic but people are not aware of the market value of it. I must say that some marketing corses should also be included in BCIT/ Software engineering course. 

Impressive ideas/projects like cell phone image processing ( OCR ) were there to search the text from books, hoardings, bill boards, signs but students were giving demostration about TECHNOLOGY only... A Female group displayed a project having purchase guide solution with "no male" in their group and very much confident about their skills but how would they get rates from markets/shop-keepers? they were speechless on this question. The most surprising thing was the 2nd year students who were technically more sound than final year ones and their projects were based on very good ideas having business perspective too. Small level mentoring can lead them to their own enterprises thill than they will pass out from NED.

Finally over all perception was good. some of the things were shocking. Match Making Idea (initiated by us at our time) has toltally been changed and seems uselessly placed over there, as the team was not serious in this regard. Other than sponsors, invitations were not sent to the other companies in time. But over all the event was good, and the response from students were also good. Very much hopeful that the cause is getting more strengthen by the new blood. May ALLAH bless...!
