What exactly is the MVC project structure like

MyExamProject │ ├── MyExamProject.sln │ └── MyExamProject │ ├── Areas │ └── Admin │ ├── Controllers │ │ ├── DashboardController.cs │ │ ├── ProductController.cs │ │ └── CategoryController.cs │ │ │ ├── ViewModels │ │ ├── Product │ │ │ ├── ProductCreateVM.cs │ │ │ └── ProductEditVM.cs │ │ └── Category │ │ ├── CategoryCreateVM.cs │ │ └── CategoryEditVM.cs │ │ │ └── Views │ ├── Shared │ │ └── _AdminLayout.cshtml │ │ │ ├── Dashboard │ │ └── Index.cshtml │ │ │ ├── Product │ │ ├── Index.cshtml │ │ ├── Create.cshtml │ │ ├── Edit.cshtml │ │ └── Delete.cshtml │ │ │ └── Category │ ├── Index.cshtml │ ├── Create.cshtml │ ├── Edit.cshtml │ └── Delete.cshtml │ ├── Controllers │ ├── HomeController.cs │ └── AccountController.cs │ ├── Services │ ├── Interfaces │ │ ├── IProductService.cs │ │ ├── ICategoryService.cs │ │ └── IUserService.cs │ │ │ └── Implementations │ ├── ProductService.cs │ ├── CategoryService.cs │ └── UserService.cs │ ├── ViewComponents │ ├── HeaderViewComponent.cs │ ├── NavbarViewComponent.cs │ ├── FooterViewComponent.cs │ └── AdminSidebarViewComponent.cs │ ├── Models │ ├── Base │ │ └── BaseEntity.cs │ │ │ ├── Product.cs │ ├── Category.cs │ └── AppUser.cs │ ├── ViewModels │ ├── Account │ │ ├── LoginVM.cs │ │ └── RegisterVM.cs │ │ │ └── Home │ └── HomeIndexVM.cs │ ├── Data │ └── AppDbContext.cs │ ├── Views │ ├── Shared │ │ ├── _Layout.cshtml │ │ ├── _ValidationScriptsPartial.cshtml │ │ ├── Error.cshtml │ │ └── Components │ │ ├── Header │ │ │ └── Default.cshtml │ │ ├── Navbar │ │ │ └── Default.cshtml │ │ ├── Footer │ │ │ └── Default.cshtml │ │ └── AdminSidebar │ │ └── Default.cshtml │ │ │ ├── Home │ │ └── Index.cshtml │ │ │ └── Account │ ├── Login.cshtml │ └── Register.cshtml │ ├── wwwroot │ ├── css │ ├── js │ ├── images │ └── fonts │ ├── Migrations │ ├── appsettings.json ├── Program.cs └── MyExamProject.csproj

I am learning ASP.NET MVC and I want to understand the correct project structure. I see many folders and files, but I am not sure what each part is responsible for.

Here is how I understand the basic MVC structure. Please correct me if something is wrong or missing.

Controllers

Contains controller classes

Handles HTTP requests

Gets data from Models

Sends data to Views

Models

Contains data models and business logic

Represents database tables or domain objects

Used to transfer data between Controller and View

Views

Contains .cshtml files

Responsible only for UI

Displays data received from the Controller

wwwroot

Contains static files like CSS, JavaScript, images

Accessible directly by the browser

Program.cs / Startup.cs

Application configuration

Middleware setup

Routing configuration

App_Data (optional)

Used for local database files or data storage

Questions:

Is this structure correct for a clean MVC project?

Where should I place services and business logic?

Should I create separate folders like Services, Repositories, or DTOs?

What is the best practice for large-scale MVC projects?

Thanks in advance for any explanation or best practice advice.
