The Software Engineering course is part of the IIT Madras BS Degree in Data Science and Applications. As a core component of this course, students are required to work in teams of 7–8 members to design, develop, and document a complete software system. The project alone contributes approximately 30% of the overall course evaluation, making it a significant academic deliverable.

The objective of this project is to expose students to real-world software engineering practices, including requirement gathering, system design, implementation, testing, documentation, and collaboration. Through a milestone-based evaluation process, the course emphasizes structured planning, iterative development, and clear documentation of the software development lifecycle.
