Curriculum Overview
Subjects in this BCA programme are arranged so that foundational knowledge in the first half gives way to applied, specialization-oriented learning in the second half. Core and elective areas include Programming Fundamentals, Data Structures & Algorithms, Database Management Systems, Computer Networks, delivered via e-learning modules, structured study guides, case-based assignments and scheduled contact classes. Learners submit assignments and appear for term-end examinations that test both conceptual understanding and applied problem-solving. Undergraduate learners build up from foundational concepts before moving into applied, specialization-specific coursework.
