This topic introduces the concept and purposes of job analysis, including collecting job analysis information and various techniques such as job-focused and person/behavior-focused approaches.

This topic delves into the different techniques used in job analysis, including job-focused and person/behavior-focused approaches, to gather information about job requirements.

This topic covers the outputs of job analysis, including job description, job specification, and job evaluation, and their applications in human resource management.

Learn how to design relational databases using ER-to-relational mapping, including mapping of regular entities, weak entities, relationship types, multivalued attributes, and N-ary relationships.

Understand informal design guidelines for relational schemas, including semantics of attributes in relations, redundant information in tuples and update anomalies, NULL values in tuples, and generation of spurious tuples.

Study functional dependencies, including definition, inference rules, Armstrong's axioms, attribute closure, equivalence of functional dependencies, and minimal sets of functional dependencies.

Explore normal forms based on primary keys, including First Normal Form, Second Normal Form, Third Normal Form, and their general definitions.

Learn about Boyce-Codd Normal Form, a higher normal form that ensures a relational schema is in a good structure.

Understand multivalued dependency and Fourth Normal Form, which eliminates multivalued dependencies in a relational schema.

This topic introduces the concept of transaction processing, highlighting the differences between single user and multi-user systems, read/write operations, and the need for concurrency control to avoid problems such as lost update, temporary update, incorrect summary, and unrepeatable read.

This topic covers the fundamental concepts of transactions, including transaction states, system log, and commit point of transaction.

This topic discusses the desirable properties of transactions, namely atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID).

This topic explores schedules, conflicting operations, and characterizing schedules based on recoverability and serializability, including serial, non-serial, and conflict serializable schedules.

This topic introduces concurrency control techniques, including two-phase locking and timestamp ordering.

This topic delves into two-phase locking, including types of locks, basic, conservative, strict, and rigorous two-phase locking, deadlock and starvation, deadlock prevention, and deadlock detection.

This topic covers timestamp ordering, including timestamp, read timestamp, write timestamp, basic timestamp ordering, and strict timestamp ordering.

Introduction to the fundamental principle of counting, which is used to solve various counting problems in mathematics. This principle is essential in understanding permutation and combination.

Exploring the concept of permutation when all objects in a set are distinct and unique. This topic covers the formulas and techniques used to calculate the number of permutations in such cases.

Understanding permutation when a set contains objects that are not all distinct. This topic covers the modifications to the permutation formula to accommodate repeated objects.

Applying permutation concepts to circular arrangements, where the order of objects matters but the starting point is arbitrary. This topic covers the special considerations for circular permutations.

The internship work should be relevant to the field of computer science and information technology, with a minimum duration of 180 hours or ten weeks.

The internship evaluation consists of three phases: Proposal Submission, Mid-Term Submission, and Final Submission.

A regular faculty member of the college is assigned as a supervisor to supervise the students throughout the internship period.

A regular employee of the intern providing organization is assigned as a mentor to guide the students throughout the internship period.

The evaluation scheme consists of Proposal Defense, Midterm, and Final Defense, with a total of 200 marks.

This topic covers the fundamental concepts of object-oriented databases, including object identity, structure, and type constructors, encapsulation, type and class hierarchies, and inheritance.
