Hi Shubhi,
Thanks for sharing your background and ideas—you're off to a good start!
Given your strengths in C/C++, preliminary knowledge in Java, and openness to learn new technologies, you’re well-positioned to take on a meaningful and technically sound project.
Honest Feedback on Your Ideas:
Online Phone Book:
While this is a good concept in terms of learning CRUD operations and working with databases and user permissions, it may be considered a bit outdated unless you enhance it with advanced features—such as real-time sync using cloud APIs, integration with mobile platforms, or AI-powered contact suggestions.
Online Training Programme:
This idea is more relevant and scalable, especially with the increasing demand for e-learning platforms. You can make it even more impactful by adding:
User analytics for HR insights
Role-based access (admin, trainer, employee)
Automated performance tracking
Gamified learning modules
If you can implement this with a good frontend (React or Angular) and backend (Java/Spring Boot or Python/Flask), it could be quite impressive.
Suggestions for Stronger Project Topics:
Given your timeline and learning flexibility, I’d also recommend exploring some trending and impactful Final Year Projects for Computer Science that combine your interests and industry demand. A few ideas:
AI-Based Resume Shortlisting System: Helps HR departments by ranking resumes based on job descriptions using NLP.
IoT-Based Smart Home Security System: If you're open to integrating hardware with C/C++.
Bug Tracking and Issue Management System: Great to build in Java or .NET with real-world implications.
Online Voting System Using Blockchain: Emerging and impressive, and can be explored even with beginner-level blockchain tutorials.
How to Start Off:
Literature Survey:
Research at least 10 IEEE or ACM papers related to your chosen topic.
Summarize the existing approaches and identify gaps.
Define Problem Statement & Objectives:
Be very specific. For example, “To design a scalable online training platform with automated evaluation and performance tracking.”
Tech Stack Finalization:
Choose based on what you know and what you are excited to learn. You can go with:
Frontend: HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, React (if interested)
Backend: Java (Spring Boot), Python (Flask/Django), or even .NET if you decide to learn it
Database: MySQL, MongoDB, or Firebase
Team Roles & Timeline Planning:
Clearly divide research, design, backend, frontend, and testing responsibilities based on each team member’s strength.
Don’t worry if you feel unsure now. Every great project starts with questions. With consistent effort and curiosity, you’ll be amazed at what you can build over the next year.
