 Introduction

BCA(Bachelor of Computer Application)

Education is the key to development of any society. Role of higher education is crucial for
securingright kind of employment and also to pursue further studies in best available world class institutes
elsewherewithin and outside India. Quality education in general and higher education in particular deserves
highpriority to enable the young and future generation of students to acquire skill, training and knowledge
inorder to enhance their thinking, creativity, comprehension and application abilities and prepare them
tocompete, succeed and excel globally. Learning Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF)
whichmakes it student-centric, interactive and outcome-oriented with well-defined aims, objectives and
goals toachieve. LOCF also aims at ensuring uniform education standard and content delivery across the
state whichwillhelpthestudentstoensuresimilarqualityofeducationirrespectiveoftheinstituteandlocation.

Computer Application is the study of quantity, structure, space and change, focusing on
problemsolving, application development with wider scope of application in science, engineering,
technology, socialsciences etc. throughout the world in last couple of decades and it has carved out a space
for itself like anyother disciplinesofbasicscienceandengineering.ComputerApplicationisadisciplinethat

he particular application domain. Computer Application has a wide range of specialties. These
includeComputer Architecture, Software Systems, Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Science,
andSoftware Engineering. Drawing from a common core of computer science knowledge, each specialty
areafocusesonspecificchallenges.ComputerApplicationispracticedbymathematicians,scientistsandengineers.
Mathematics, the origins of Computer Science, provides reason and logic. Science provides the methodology
for learning and refinement. Engineering provides the techniques for building hardware andsoftware.

 Computer Application is the study of quantity, structure, space and change, focusing on
problemsolving, application development with wider scope of application in science, engineering,
technology, socialsciences etc. The key core areas of study in Mathematics include Algebra, Analysis (Real
& Complex),DifferentialEquations,Geometry,andMechanics.
The Students completing this programme will be able to present Software application clearly
andprecisely, make abstract ideas precise by formulating them in the Computer languages. Completion of
thisprogrammewillalsoenablethelearnerstojointeachingprofession,enhancetheiremployabilityforgovernment
jobs, jobs in software industry, banking, insurance and investment sectors, data analyst jobs andjobsin
