Mission
- To impart technical knowledge through innovative teaching, research and consultancy.
- Provides state-of-the-art facilities and internationally recognized faculty.
- To adapt to the dynamic needs of industries through curriculum update.
- Promotes partnerships with industry and communityy.
- To produce competent graduates with professional ethics and life skills.
Career Options
- Do an MCA (which I recommend not to) which is a 3 years course again. The curriculum is almost as same as BCA course so you end up studying same things that you studied in BCA. Plus placements for MCA are not that great these days. So many colleges are shutting down their MCA department due to very low demand. Overall BCA+MCA options are dying in India due to fewer acceptances from IT companies or a very low package.
- Get into job oriented courses like Wipro WASE program. Its a 4 year program(on the job) which Offer M.Tech in software engineering degree at the end of 4 years by BITS, Pilani (Wipro has tied up with BITS, Pilani). You get monthly Stipend of 13,500,16,000,19,000,23,000 in 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th year respectively. Note that having studies Maths in class 12 is compulsory for this program. Selection process via test, interview.
- Another job oriented program is by TCS called as Ignite. Again a one the job 3 years program which offer MCA in tie up with Sastra University.
- With new age e-learning, BCA students should also look for doing Open Learning courses from websites like Udacity, Simplilearn, Coursera. It offer various new age courses like Mobile & Software development, Cyber Security, IT Service & Architecture, Cloud Computing etc.
- If not software/IT (it’s not your interest), then look for options outside like social work, management, fellowships like YIF, journalism, law etc. For this understand yourself via taking a psychometric assessment test and talking to a career counselor.
