 Programme Specific Outcome
Bachelor in Computer Application with Honours/Honours and Research

Computer Application (CA) has been evolving as an important branch of Science and
Technology in the last two decades 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. BCA and BCA (Hons) are aimed at undergraduate level
training facilitating multiple career paths. Students who have 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 present Curriculum Framework for BCA degrees is intended to facilitate the students to
achieve the following.
1. Students will have a comprehensive understanding of computer science principles,
programming languages, software development methodologies, and data structures.
2. Students will be proficient in one or more programming languages and possess the ability
to develop software applications, write efficient code, and solve programming problems.
3. BCA graduates will have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, allowing them to
identify and resolve complex computing problems through the application of logical
reasoning and critical thinking.
4. Graduates will be capable of designing, developing, and testing software applications
using appropriate software engineering principles and methodologies.
5. Students will acquire knowledge and skills in designing and managing databases,
including the ability to create database schemas, query data, and ensure data integrity.
6. BCA graduates will have effective oral and written communication skills, enabling them
to collaborate with clients, understand requirements, and document software projects
accurately.
7. Students will be adept at working in multidisciplinary teams, demonstrating the ability to
communicate, cooperate, and contribute to team projects effectively.
8. Graduates will understand the principles of information security and possess knowledge
of techniques to secure computer systems, networks, and applications.
9. BCA graduates will be aware of ethical considerations related to computer science and
information technology and demonstrate a commitment to professional and ethical
practices.
10. Students will be equipped with a strong foundation that allows them to adapt to emerging
technologies, learn new programming languages, and continuously update their skills to
keep pace with the evolving field of computer science.
