BCA

It is a three-year degree programme, conducted in affiliation to Bangalore University, spread over six semesters.

The objective of this course is to enable students to excel in software development, thereby opening doors to pursuit of postgraduate programmes such as Computer Science (M.Sc CS), Information Science (M.Sc IS), Computer Applications (MCA), Information Technology (M.Sc IT), MBA, etc.

In this course, computer programming, networking, software and hardware related papers are taught through semesters 1 to 6. In addition, mathematics is taught during semesters 1 and 2. English language and optional languages are taught during semesters 1 to 4. I am not sure if this last line applies to BCA course. Roana is advised to cross check with BCA HOD)
