What is evaluated in the 70 report marks?
Evaluators assess your written MCA submission against Amity's project work guidelines. The report is expected to demonstrate:
- Original, relevant topic aligned with MCA / IT specialization
- Literature review with critical analysis of prior research and systems
- System analysis, design quality, and architecture justification
- Implementation documentation with testing evidence and results
- Compliance with word limits (15,000–30,000 words) and APA 6th formatting
- Complete certificates, plagiarism report, and cited figures/diagrams
What is evaluated in the 30 viva marks?
Five descriptive written questions are generated for your specific MCA project. Evaluators assess whether you understand your own system design, implementation choices, testing methodology, and findings—not generic IT knowledge.
- Understanding of your research problem and objectives
- Ability to explain technology stack and architecture decisions
- Clarity on testing approach and interpretation of results
- Quality of written viva answers in your own words
- Depth beyond what is copy-pasted from the report
Plagiarism as a pass/fail gate
Plagiarism checking is not part of the 70-mark grading—it is a prerequisite. If your report exceeds 15% plagiarism (below 85% originality), it is rejected before evaluation begins. No report marks are awarded until resubmission passes the threshold.
