Preamble

Computer Application (CA) has been evolving as an important branch of science and
technology in last two 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 toother
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.

2
 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 solvingproblems,
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.
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

3
 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

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 problem-
solving 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
