Introduction great competition to showcase your talent of accomplishing real-life projects. Looking for an online comprehensive solution to manage the complete life-cycle of Project. We encourage students from final year batches to visit the Student Job. The main purpose of this project contest is to familiarize project concepts among students and faculties. All students would get an equal opportunity to work on 'Real World projects', get recognized for the same from TGMC-Next Year in the form 'Certificate of Completion' for all the completed & submitted projects. The necessary software and materials for doing the project would be provided by TGMC-Next Year Free of Charge, through the web portals and (or) through CDs. Internal deadlines are chosen with the goal of allowing adequate time for the internal review of applications and the completion and submission of the final application through Grant Services and Administration to meet the funding agency receipt deadline. Internal applications will be reviewed based on the following criteria: Responsiveness to Program objectives in agency solicitation Relevance to University’s research objectives Presentation of project (clear plan of action, summary of project, collaborators to be included, grammar...) “Per Campus” opportunity: each campus should conduct an internal competition to select or nominate a candidate or candidates to respond to the agency.  The campus contact person will notify Grant Services and Administration and Limited Submissions of the committee’s selection(s). “Per System” opportunity: each campus should set an internal campus review deadline and follow the “per campus” internal competition process. After reviewing all applications for merit and completeness, forward the committee’s selection to Limited Submissions for the final internal review and selection process by the internal deadline posted on the website. Limited Submissions will send a notification to all applicants informing them of the final committee’s selection(s). When one submission is allowed “per system”, only one application may be forwarded to Limited Submissions from each campus. When two or more submissions are allowed “per system”, two applications may be forwarded from each campus. Purpose of the System: This system provides an online comprehensive solution to manage the complete Life-cycle of a national-level software project contest where students and faculties from all states and universities can participate.  Limitations in Existing System: Existing system is not able to provide secure registration and profile management facilities for Team/students/faculties. Existing System doesn’t have the facility for Discussion forums. Existing system is not having the mailing facility. This system is not having the provision of Uploading results, tutorials, or instructions. Solutions in the Proposed System: Proposed system maintains Secure registration and profile management facilities for Team/students/faculties. This system will track the team’s progress.   Proposed system maintains the details about the project submissions and feedbacks. This system facilitates the communication through discussion forum and mailing. This facilitates help book for participants/Timely instructions to students on mail. This system provides uploading results, tutorials, or instructions through online. This system provides basic and advance admin facilities like add/update E-mentors, backup/recovery of data, generating various reports etc. No of Modules: The system after careful analysis has been identified to be presented with the following modules: Team members E-Mentors Administrator Security and authentication Reports Description for Modules: Team members Module: This module can provide secure registration and profile management facilities for Team members and can track team’s progress.
