The Department of Computer Applications, in association with the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), organized a creative competition titled “COVER STORY” on behalf of the FYUGP Skill Enhancement Course. The event was conducted on 21st March 2025 at 10:00 AM in the BCA Lab.
The primary objective of the competition was to encourage students to apply their creativity and technical knowledge in designing an attractive cover page using Microsoft Word. The program aimed to improve students’ practical skills, aesthetic sense, and familiarity with various formatting tools and design features available in Word.
A total of six students participated in the competition, forming three groups, each consisting of 2 members. The participants displayed outstanding teamwork and creativity while following the competition guidelines, which restricted the use of third-party design tools or templates. However, students were permitted to download necessary images to enrich their cover designs.
Throughout the event, students skillfully utilized Word features such as text effects, color gradients, image formatting, shapes, and layout settings to produce professional-quality cover pages. The competition provided an excellent opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, fostering both technical competence and innovative thinking.
In addition to improving their design skills, the competition helped students develop vital soft skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, communication, and time management. Faculty members from the Department of Computer Applications coordinated and evaluated the entries based on creativity, originality, visual appeal, and proper use of Word tools.
After an impressive display of designs, Fathima Saja and Hiba Fathima were declared the winners of the competition for their exceptional creativity and well-balanced cover design. The program was coordinated and carried out by Ms. Raneesha K.K., Assistant Professor, Department of BCA, who ensured the smooth and successful conduct of the event.
The “COVER STORY” competition proved to be a fruitful and enjoyable experience, effectively enhancing the students’ digital design skills, creativity, and confidence in using Microsoft Word as a powerful tool for document design.
