The course emphasizes creating inclusive, intuitive, and engaging web experiences.

10. Digital Marketing Analytics & SEO (CS610)

This course bridges the gap between web development and digital marketing. Students will learn how to optimize websites for search engines, analyze user behavior through tools like Google Analytics, implement conversion rate optimization strategies, and integrate marketing automation platforms with web applications.

Project-Based Learning Approach

The program emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of the curriculum, ensuring that students develop practical skills through real-world problem-solving experiences. The approach is structured to progressively increase in complexity and scope throughout the four-year program.

Mini Projects (Year 1-2)

Mini projects are introduced in the early semesters to help students apply theoretical concepts learned in class to practical tasks. These projects typically involve building simple web applications, implementing basic algorithms, or solving small-scale problems related to database management or network programming.

Capstone Projects (Year 3-4)

The capstone project phase begins in the third year and culminates in the final year. Students are expected to work on comprehensive projects that address complex challenges in web development. These projects involve collaboration with industry partners, research into emerging technologies, and presentation of solutions to a panel of faculty members and external experts.

Project Selection Process

Students select their capstone project topics based on their interests, faculty availability, and alignment with current industry trends. The selection process involves proposal submissions, mentor assignments, and regular progress reviews. Faculty mentors guide students through the entire development lifecycle, from ideation to implementation and final presentation.

Evaluation Criteria

Projects are evaluated based on multiple criteria including technical execution, innovation, usability, documentation quality, and presentation skills. A rubric-based assessment system ensures consistent evaluation across all projects, with feedback provided at various stages of development.
