1.1 B.C.A. Programme Objectives

The basic objective of the programme is to open a channel of admission for computing courses for students who have done the 10+2 and are interested in taking computing/IT as a career. After acquiring the Bachelor‘s Degree (BCA) at IGNOU, there is further educational opportunity to go for an MCA at GGCE or a Master‘s Programme at any other University/Institute. Also, after completing the B.C.A. Programme, a student should be able to get entry entry-level job in the field of Information Technology or ITES.

1.2 Duration of the Programme

Duration: 3 Years UG degree.

1.3 Programme Fee

Rs. 40000/- for full programme. The fees may change as and when the university decides. The student may get the latest update on the fees from the concerned GGCE Management Centre from the Student Registration Division (SRD) or from the Student Service Centre (SSC).

1.4 Medium of Instruction

The medium of instruction is only in Hindi/ English. The course material is also in English.
Moodle is a learning platform designed to provide educators, administrators and learners with a single robust, secure and integrated system to create personalised learning environments. At Gyan Ganga, we are fully equipped with this tremendous learning tool so that students can get the most out of the content on Moodle. All the Study Material and Course Curriculum are shared on Moodle and it is very beneficial for the students.

1.5 Credit System

The College follows the ‘Credit System’ for its programmes. Each credit is worth 30 hours of student study time, comprising all the learning activities. Thus, a three-credit course involves 90 study hours. This helps the student to understand the academic effort one has to put into successfully completing a course. Completion of the programme requires successful completion of both assignments and the Term End Examination of each course in the programme.

1.6 B.C.A. Programme Structure

The programme has been running for a year. Consequently, there will be one examination every year. The students are at liberty to appear for any of the examinations scheduled to be conducted by the University during the year, subject to completing the minimum duration and other formalities prescribed for the programme. Student may ensure that she/he paid the requisite fee as well as fulfil other requirements such as prescribed minimum attendance, etc., before appearing in the term-end examinations. The result may be withheld or may be cancelled in case it is found that the student’s registration for the course is invalid or did not register. The following is the programme structure of BCA:

2. Programme’s mission and objectives:

2.1 Program Overview:
