Bachelor in Computer Applications (BCA)

Intake: 60 Duration: 3 Years All Streams Lateral Entry Available

Introduction

BCA is a three-year course segregated into six semesters. The syllabus covers 50% theory and 50% practical. The syllabus holds technical, non-technical, and personality development subjects, to make students technically strong, rapid problem solvers, and confident enough to represent himself/herself to the world.

By completing the 3-year degree of Bachelor of Computer Applications graduate student is confident to vie in promoting him in world technology or education. A graduate can pursue a Master's degree or Post-graduate Diploma in the same domain. A student can bring evolution in his studies in streams like Computer Applications, Master of Business Administration in Information Systems, and Business Administration in Operations. Also, various post-graduate diplomas like Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA), in Computer Commercial Applications (PGDCCA), and Business Statistics and Computer Applications (PGDBSCA) etc. are being offered by several reputed colleges.
