PROGRAMME PROJECT REPORT

BACHELOR OF COMPUTER APPLICATION PROGRAMME

FOR THE ACADEMIC SESSION 2018-19

1.1 Programme’s mission & objectives

Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) is a three-year degree programme under semester
system in which learners will be exposed to various areas of computer applications including the
latest developments in IT. The aim of the programme is to open a channel for admission to IT
courses for the learners who have done 10+2 and are interested in taking IT as a career. This
programme comprises 21 courses including practical and project work. There are six semesters
in this course, and in each semester, there are four papers. The sixth semester involves only
project work.
The followings are the main objectives of the programme:
• To produce skilled IT human resources in Assam.
• To help the learners and teachers to update their knowledge and skills, especially for
those located in rural/backward/remote areas.
• To reach the unreached.

1.2 Relevance of the programme with KKHSOU’s Mission and Goals

Computer Science is considered one of the best career options, not only in India, but also
outside the country. There are bright career prospects for computer science professionals or
software professionals in the context of the recent scenario. With the opening of huge software
and IT companies in India, the job opportunities for trained professionals have increased
considerably. India is known to be a leader in software and IT sector. Computer science
graduates find job opportunities in a variety of environments in academia, research, industry,
government, private, business organizations, and so on. They are involved in analyzing problems
for solutions, formulating and testing, using advanced communications or multi-media
equipment, or working in teams for software product development. The software and IT
 3

companies are the major employers of computer science graduates. They offer the best packages
to the young graduates which are unmatched with other branches of science.

Some of the popular career options for the computer science graduates are listed below:

1. Telecom sector: A large number of telecom company including BSNL, Airtel, Aircel,
Vodafone, Reliance etc. are recruiting graduates of computer professional.

2. Graphic designing

Graphic designers have an exciting job at hand, as they get to work on interesting projects. Front-
end web designing is one of the career options which computer graduates can make themselves
eligible for. Front end designers spend their time creating the “look and feel” of websites. Those
who are not satisfied with merely handling the front-end aesthetics push themselves and gain
complete expertise in other web technologies like PHP and Ruby.

3. Software Testing

A software testing takes the important responsibility of improving the quality of the application.
A tester or quality analyst essentially should have knowledge of the entire software development
lifecycle as software testing is done in each phase of product life cycle, from requirement
specifications, coding, to design.

4. Mobile Application Developer

Smart phones have become as common place as anything can be, and with their rising use, there
is a growing market of mobile apps. The strength of smart phones is through the diverse range of
mobile apps that make every task a matter of seconds. Every business, in its plan to diversify and
expand is now offering its services through mobile apps. These apps are developed by mobile
app developers. For professionals with a degree in computer science and programming skills,
mobile app development offers a fresh opportunity to embark on a career makeover. As market
demand, surges for apps running on iOS, Android or any operating system that will power the
next generation smart devices, IT professionals with skills in Java, C, C++ and native app
 4

development are much sought after in the job market. The BCA programme will help in
producing skilled IT human resources which will be in confirmity of KKHSOU’s mission and
goals.

1.3 Nature of prospective target group of learners:

The North Eastern region of the country can be thought of as a miniature India. People living in
this region with different linguist groups and different culture are lagging behind in higher
education. Moreover, the economic condition of Assam and the other states of the region is very
poor as compared to other part of the country. A large section of the young generation including
girls, women and differently able are working at different govt. and non-govt. organizations after
their 10+2 level education in different remote places. These young and dynamic people of Assam
are working in different sectors like telecom, finance company, shopping mall, drugs distributing
company, education sector (primary teaching and non-teaching), construction company, IT etc.
They are deprived of higher education due to economic conditions, geographically remote area
etc. The BCA Programme will help this section of people of Assam for getting their higher
education.

1.4 Appropriateness of the Programme to be Conducted in ODL Mode to Acquire Specific

Skills and Competence:
Like other higher educational institutes such as IGNOU, NIELIT (Previously DOEACC),
CISCO certification, it is possible to offer BCA programme in the Open and Distance learning
mode. It is observed that the candidates after completing BCA or ‘A’ level from IGNOU or
NIELIT are getting good jobs in either the Government sector or private sector.

1.5 Instructional design: The syllabus is designed with the help of the departmental faculty
members along with some external experts from the same discipline. At the time of designing the
BCA syllabus, the following members were actively involved.
