BACHELOR IN COMPUTER APPLICATION (BCA):

Structure and Brief Syllabi of BCA

Bachelor in Computer Application (BCA) is a three year course in computer application,
offered to students who have passed their Intermediate examination with mathematics as one
of the papers. I.A. and I.Com. Passed students may also seek admission in BCA course only
if they have completed CIC course of the University or had mathematics as a paper of study
at the Intermediate level. The programme offers at least 72 hours of practical training in each
laboratory paper of computer application to every student in each year of his/her study. For
this purpose, the University has developed an ultra-modern high-tech computer laboratory at
its headquarters where training is imparted to BCA students under guidance of highly skilled
computer professionals.
For all students admitted to BCA course, it will be necessary to pass in each paper of
each Part of the examination to be taken at the end of each academic session. To pass in
each paper, a student must secure at least 33% of marks in each paper separately. To
determine 33% of marks in each paper, the marks obtained by a student, both in term-end
written examination and practical work/home assignment, shall be clubbed and counted
together and percentage determined accordingly. However, if a candidate has secured zero
mark in term-end examination or the home assignment/practical examination, as the case may
be, in any paper, he/she will be deemed to have failed in that paper. Failure in one paper will
mean failure in that Part of the examination. Hence, students must strive hard to pass
separately in each paper. The term-end examination shall be held for each Part of the course
at the end of each academic session and it will be compulsory to pass in each Part of the
examination before a student is promoted to the next Part.
The BCA programme consists of 23 papers in all; divided into three parts. The
distribution of marks between written examination, assignment and practical work will be as
follows:
Paper Title of the paper Distribution of Marks Between Minimum Marks
Theory and Practical /Assignment required to pass
