Preamble
Computer Application (CA) has been evolving as an important branch of science and technology
in last three decade and it has carved out a space for itself like computer science and engineering.
Computer application spans theory and more application and it requires thinking both in abstract terms
and in concrete terms.

The ever -evolving discipline of computer application has strong connections to other disciplines.
Many problems in science, engineering, health care, business, and other areas can be solved effectively
with computers and its applications, but finding a solution requires both computer science expertise and
knowledge of the particular application domain.

Computer science has a wide range of specialties. These include Computer Architecture, Software
Systems, Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematical and Statistical Analysis, Data Science,
Computational Science, and Software Engineering.

Universities and other HEIs introduced programmes of computer application. Information

Technology is growing rapidly. Increasing applications of computers in almost all areas of human
endeavour has led to vibrant industries with concurrent rapid change in technology. Unlike other basic
disciplines, developing core competency in this discipline that can be reasonably stable becomes a
challenge.

In India, it was initially introduced at the Master (postgraduate) level as MCA and M.Tech. Later
on, engineering programmes such as B.Tech and B.E in Computer Science & Engineering and in
Information Technology were introduced in various engineering College/Institutions to cater to the
growing demand for trained engineering manpower in IT industries. Parallelly, BCA, BSc and MSc
programmes with specialisation in Computer Science were introduced to train manpower in this highly
demanding area.

BCA and BCA (Hons) are aimed at undergraduate level training facilitating multiple career paths.
Students so graduated, can take up postgraduate programmes in CS or MCA leading to research as well as
R&D, can be employable at IT industries, or can pursue a teaching profession or can adopt a business
management career.

BCA and BCA (Hons) aims at laying a strong foundation of computer application at an early
stage of the career. There are several employment opportunities and after successful completion of BCA,
graduating students can fetch employment directly in companies as programmer, Web Developer,
Software Engineer, Network Administrator, Data Scientist, or AI/ML personnel.

The Program outcomes in BCA are aimed at allowing flexibility and innovation in design and
development of course content, in method of imparting training, in teaching learning process and in
assessment procedures of the learning outcomes. The emphasis in BCA courses, in outcome-based
curriculum framework, help students learn solving problems, accomplishing IT tasks, and expressing
creativity, both individually and collaboratively. The proposed framework will help Students learn
programming techniques and the syntax of one or more programming languages.
3
 All students must, therefore, have access to a computer with a modern programming language
installed. The computer science framework does not prescribe a specific language. The teacher and
students will decide which modern programming languages students will learn. More importantly,
students will learn to adapt to changes in programming languages and learn new languages as they are
developed.

The present Curriculum Framework for BCA degrees is intended to facilitate the students to achieve the
following.

• To develop an understanding and knowledge of the basic theory of Computer Science and
Information Technology with good foundation on theory, systems and applications such as
algorithms, data structures, data handling, data communication and computation
• To develop the ability to use this knowledge to analyse new situations in the application domain
• To acquire necessary and state-of-the-art skills to take up industry challenges. The objectives and
outcomes are carefully designed to suit to the above-mentioned purpose.
• The ability to synthesize the acquired knowledge, understanding and experience for a better and
improved comprehension of the real-life problems
• To learn skills and tools like mathematics, statistics and electronics to find the solution, interpret
the results and make predictions for the future developments
• To formulate, to model, to design solutions, procedure and to use software tools to solve real
world problems and evaluate

4
 The objectives of the Programme are:

1. The primary objective of this program is to provide a foundation of computing principles and
business practices for effectively using/managing information systems and enterprise software
2. It helps students analyze the requirements for system development and exposes students to
business software and information systems
3. This course provides students with options to specialize in legacy application software, system
software or mobile applications
4. To produce outstanding IT professionals who can apply the theoretical knowledge into practice in
the real world and develop standalone live projects themselves
5. To provide opportunity for the study of modern methods of information processing and its
applications.
6. To develop among students the programming techniques and the problemsolving skills through
programming
7. To prepare students who wish to go on to further studies in computer science and related subjects.
8. To acquaint students to Work effectively with a range of current, standard, Office Productivity
software applications
