Hello Students,
How are you all doing? Welcome to the Data Structures and Algorithms course!
This course is fundamental for your growth as a software engineer. Every Software Company
evaluates DSA concepts during recruitment and beyond that, DSA is widely used in real-world
projects to solve complex problems efficiently.
To become strong in DSA, one of the best approaches is to work on a challenging project. For
this course, I have prepared several project ideas along with their descriptions.
Project Guidelines:
1. Form a group of 5 students and select a suitable project from the list.
2. You can implement your project in two ways:
o Desktop Application: Create an executable file (.exe) and install it on your
machine for evaluation.
o Web Application (Backend Focus): If you want to challenge yourself, you can
develop a web-based project and deploy it on a free cloud service for
evaluation. (Note: You haven’t taken a web development course yet, so this is
optional for those willing to explore.)
3. Since you have taken database courses, you may choose to implement your project with
or without a database, in either a desktop or web application.
4. Deadline: 1 month from today.
5. Final Deliverables:
o For Desktop Applications: Provide the setup/executable file (.exe).
o For Web Applications: Share the deployment link.
o For Report :Send the pdf file(about the problem you solved, a data structure you
selected and the algorithm you have used)
6. Each group should announce their project choice (mentioning desktop or web-based)
and list of members as soon as possible via Telegram.
The main goal is to make you strong in Data Structures and Algorithms—so put in your best
effort!
