2. First step is to select group partners/members Second step is pickup a topic that would you enjoy for work Consider ideas that sound interesting because of a desire to know more about a subject, a desire to learn how to use a particular software package, or a goal of working professionally in this area after graduation You can think of developing a system or application or proposal that is applicable in real life situation. For this you can find a company, and develop a useful software for them. Chances are, you might be hired once you finish your studies. HOW TO CHOOSE PROJECT TOPIC

3. Defining the objectives of the project. Acquiring background information about the problem and its possible solutions. Establishing the criteria by which your solution(s) to the problem will be judged Determining by what process the work will be carried out.(Methodology) Planning the detailed phases of the project. Adopting one or more design methodologies. Evaluating your solution to the problem. Make model/prototype for better evaluation of your work.  Reporting on your work. Tips for Perfect Final Year Project

4. The “Overachiever” Problem (A common problem is selecting a topic that is far too ambitious for the allotted time). The “Do It Tomorrow” Problem. The “Sleeping Member” Problem. Problems faced in your final year project and ways to avoid them
