The University of Lahore – Final Year Project Proposal

FYP Proposal Guidelines

Please carefully and thoroughly read given below guidelines before writing your own FYP
proposal. Every proposal will be evaluated based on the benchmark set by these guidelines.

1: Novelty of the Project

Moderately describe how unique, creative, and interesting your idea is. The more it is similar to
the projects that have been implemented often before the less novel will it be. Thoroughly,
review your idea and the relevant work that has already been done to identify the degree of
novelty by yourself. Your project must not be a repeated project.

2: Scope and Applicability

Provide a comprehensive abstract, focusing on the main features and functionality of your
project. Also include a brief description of the constraints, limitations and any assumptions you
might have made. The scope must clearly state that your planned project is achievable, realistic
and involves enough work, and justifies a year long duration. Your proposal must also report the
real world applications of your work.

3: Technical Complexity
The more your project uses the novel technical features the more will it be technically complex.
Therefore, clearly identify the level of technical complexity in your project and ensure that your
team is technically sound enough to cope with it.

4: Amount of Work Required

How much effort will be required to complete this work within the assigned time period? Include
a work breakdown structure, state the role of each team member and the estimated workload per
team member.

5: Usefulness
Describe how and to what extent your work will be contributing towards the betterment of
community.

6: Learning Outcomes

PROBLEM STATEMENT
The problem statement should be concise, as you now understand it. It is highly advisable that it should not exceed more
than 5 lines.
It’s often happen that we can’t choose from the option we have about what we want to do or we
are uneducated about some matters or problems, we need the reviews and we want to know
other’s experiences related to anything and anywhere. It can be anything about technology,
travel, education, sports, food, games, music, movies or anything in real world.
