SYLLABUS

Of

Five years Integrated MCA Programme (BCA+MCA)

UNDER

CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS)

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & IT,

BHADERWAH CAMPUS
University of Jammu
 Proposed Curriculum for 5 years integrated MCA program

The five years integrated MCA program at Bhaderwah Campus, University of Jammu is
intending to develop a deep understanding of the basic applied principles of Computer sciences
vis-a-vis expanding their knowledge in the allied areas which are in demand in software industrial
through an array of elective courses. The proposed curriculum has been designed so as to prepare
the students to take up a research career either in academia or in industries after the successful
completion of the program. The passing-out students will be so trained as they can peruse further
career in Industries where the skills of data science and programming are required. The structure
of the proposed programme has been designed by blending the industry-relevant courses in
conventional BCA and MCA courses being taught in various universities across the country
ensuring a balance among theory, application, and research components. The program is designed
in such a way that students will have enough choices to learn their desired subjects by taking
number of elective courses from and outside of the discipline. The curriculum focuses on an
interdisciplinary approach wherein students learn both, theory and its applications through
fundamental core courses and engineering open elective courses.
The five-year integrated MCA course is not being run in any of the universities or colleges
in the entire Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. University of Jammu is going to be the
pioneer institute to offer such a course to the students which has no less than five exit points as
recommended in the New Education Policy-2020. A student has an option of exit with a
“Certificate course in Computer Applications” after completing the first year and option of exit
with an “Diploma in Computer Applications” after completing the second year. However if a
student completes the third year of the course, He / She will be awarded a “Batchelors degree in
Computer Applications”. After successful completion of fourth year, a student will be given a
“Batchelors degree in Computer Applications with Research” and finally after successfully
completing the fifth year “Master’s degree in Computer Applications”. Many reputed
universities like Guru Nanak Dev University; Lovely Professional University; Amity University;
Guru Gobind Indraprastha University; Sharda University; etc. are successfully running a 5-year
integrated course MCA course for the last many years.
