About the MCS-014 assignment
The MCS-014 assignment focuses on analysing and designing a Voter Registration System. It asks students to prepare a software requirements specification using an IEEE-standard template, develop data flow diagrams, and create an entity-relationship diagram.
There are three compulsory written questions carrying 80 marks: two worth 30 marks each and one worth 20 marks. The remaining 20 marks are for viva voce. The PDF permits illustrations and diagrams and refers students to the Programme Guide for presentation requirements.
