The Final-Year Project Kit (FREE) with Raghu Datta

A final-year project is judged on two things: does it work, and can you explain it. A small project you built yourself answers both. This free guide takes a BSc or BCA student from a few loose ideas to a running project, a report, a calm viva and a line on the resume, in about ten weeks.

Inside: three questions to pick one project in a week, and ideas that fit a student timeline; must, should and later, with one worked cut from a too-big idea; a ten-week plan with a Friday check-in; designing tables and screens on paper, saving work with Git every day, and using AI only to explain and review; the report chapter by chapter, with a sample abstract and a test table; the viva demo checklist and the questions examiners usually ask; a README people read and one resume line per role; 12 copy-paste AI prompts grouped by job; the carousel's seven-day plan; and a printable checklist.

Free, 36 pages, phone friendly, with drawn illustrations of the real things: the scope sheet, the week plan, the database tables, the contents page, the viva room and the README.

What you'll learn:

Pick one in a week: Three questions for every idea (a real problem, 8 weeks, two lines), the last check with your guide, and ideas from the college, your town and public data.

Scope and a ten-week plan: Must, should and later, one working flow first, a worked cut of a too-big idea, and a week-by-week plan with a Friday check-in.

Build it yourself: Tables and screens drawn before code, a Git commit every day, and AI used to explain errors and review your code, never to write it.

The report: The usual chapters and what goes in each, a sample abstract, and a test table with a bug found and fixed.

The viva and the resume: A demo checklist, the questions examiners usually ask with honest answers, a README people read, and one resume line each for developer, QA and IT support roles.

12 copy-paste AI prompts: Grouped by job: choose, scope and plan, build, report, viva and resume. Each one asks the AI to question, explain or check, not to do the work.

FAQs:

Will this give me a ready-made project?

No. It shows how to pick, build and explain your own project, which is also what makes the viva easy.

Which language or tools does it assume?

Whatever your syllabus taught: Python, Java, PHP or Android. The method is the same for all of them.

Which AI tool do I need?

Any AI chat assistant works: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot or another. The free versions are enough.

Is it really free?

Yes. Download it, use it, and share it with your project partner.
