Eligibility for Admission:
Students seeking admission in BCA Program:
1. Should Have successfully completed twelve years of schooling in any stream.
2. Should have achieved minimum d+ grade in each subject of grade 11 and 12 with cGPA 2.0 or more.
Or
Should have secured a minimum score of second division (45%) marks in 10+2, PCL or equivalent in any discipline.
Students who have passed grade 11 and are waiting for supplementary exam (PURAK PARIKSHA) of grade 12 can also apply. However, they have to submit all the required documents at the time of admission.
Students who appeared in the final exam and are waiting for the result and certificates can also apply for the entrance examination. However, they have to submit all the required documents at the time of admission.
3. In case of foreign certificate, student should submit equivalence certificate and each subject grading with cGPA or total percentage document from concerned authority.
4. Should pass entrance examination as conducted by Purbanchal University.
Duration of the program:
The program of study shall extend over a period of eight semesters (FOUR ACADEMIC YEARS).
Medium:
ENGLISH shall be the medium of instruction and examination in all the subjects of BCA Program.
Attendance Requirement:
A student must achieve, at least 80% attendance of lectures, tests, and tutorial classes in order to qualify for sitting for the final examination of any subject. There are no unauthorized cuts from classes, persistent poor attendance may result in exclusion from classes.

Teachers should also help them in making up this work.
Evaluation procedures:
(a) CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
All courses undertaken by students are evaluated during semester using an internal system of continuous assessment.
The student is evaluated on class and/or tutorial participation, assignment work, laboratory work, class tests and quizzes that contribute to the final grade awarded for the subject.
Students will be notified at the commencement of each course about the evaluation methods to be used for the course and the weight-age given to the different assignments and evaluation activities.
(b) COMBINED THEORY AND LABORATORY/PRACTICAL COURSES:
Some of the courses have combined theory and laboratory/practical portions. For these courses marks will be awarded as follows : 20% Internal Marks, 20% Practical Marks, 60% Final Examination Marks.
The Type of each course is indicated in the following course descriptions.
(c) THEORY
The pure theory course marks will be awarded as follows:
20% Internal Marks and 80% Final Examination Marks.
(d) LABORATORY
The pure laboratory or practical course marks will be awarded as follows:
60% from continuous internal evaluation, 40% from final viva to be evaluated by the University.
(e) END-SEMESTER EXAMINATION
The examination at the end of the semester is set and evaluated by examiners.
Objective of Semester Computer Projects:
The concepts of project work will begin in the first semester and it will continue in the last Seven semesters. Students will be expected to apply the theory and principles they have learned from other courses in a practical way in order to complete a project each semester. They will develop skills in goal setting, planning, research, team work, implementation, assessment, report writing and presentation is they work on their chosen project.
Student will work in a group of upto three students under the guidance of group adviser. The group will decide on a project and set out their aims and objectives.
Evaluations and grading system:
The performance of students is evaluated through a system of continuous testing spread over the entire period of study. At the end of each semester, students are awarded letter grades based on grades and marks obtained in various segments of the course evaluation.
In students rating eight grades A+, A, B+, B, C, D, F and I are used.
Letter grades are used to show the academic standing of a students, with the following values, equivalent marks % and remarks:
| EQUIVALENT MARKS% | LETTER GRADE | GRADE VALUE | REMARKS |
|---|---|---|---|
|
90 and Above |
A+ |
4.00 |
|

80 and Below 90 |

Incomplete |
If a student fails to submit term paper, report, home assignment and laboratory assignment, which are requirements of a course, the teacher concerned may allow him the benefit of an “Incomplete”. A student who is awarded as “Incomplete” in any course can get it removed withing six weeks from the end of the semester. If the requirements are not met within this time limit, the student’s grade in that course is converted into “Fail”. On completion of the course, however, the student does not receive any further grade but is allowed the benefit of the numerical grade point weight of an “Incomplete.”
Cumulative Grade point Average (CGPA)
A Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), which is the grade point average of all the semester, is computed at the end of the course fro all students, Final later grades in each course are converted into grade points on the following basis :
A+ ................................................ 4.00 Grade Points
A ................................................. 3.75 Grade Points
B+ ................................................. 3.50 Grade Points
B ................................................. 3.00 Grade Points
C ................................................. 2.50 Grade Points
D ................................................. 1.75 Grade Points
F ................................................. 0.00 Grade Points
As the student complete different course, these points are accumulated and an average point score for each student called the CGPA in maintained.
The CGPA shall be calculated using the for formula:
∑ (Credit hours * Grade Points)
CGPA = ................................................
∑ (Credit hours)
A student must maintain a CGPA of 2.0 or above throughout the study period. The student failing to maintain the CGPA of 2.0 may be required to withdraw from the program.
Scope for future studies:
After accomplishing this course, the student can enroll for graduate degree such as :
- Master of Computer Application
- Master of Information Technology
- Master of Science in Computer Science
- Master of Science in Computer Information Systems
- Master of Business Administration
