 PROGRAMME PROJECT REPORT
1. Introduction

The Programme leading to the award of Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) is

developed to prepare students to take up a career in the field of IT and Computer
Applications. This is an Under Graduate Programme where students are exposed to various
areas of Computer Applications including the latest developments in the Industry.

2. Program Mission and Objectives

To afford a Quality Undergraduate Degree in Computer Applications (BCA) through Online

Learning mode to provide the students prominent skills in software development, BCA
program allows them to excel in the software industry. It also trains students to develop soft
skills. This Bachelor of Computer Applications programme aims to develop personnel that
are academically competent and professionally motivated.

The objectives of the BCA programme are to:

• Prepare professionally trained students in the areas of programming, databases,
software engineering, web- designing and networking and other completer application
areas to acquire knowledge in various domain-based prospects
• Encourage students to communicate effectively and to improve their competency skills
to solve real time problems related to IT
• Enable students to employ modern computer languages and applications for their
successful career
• Enable students to Learn technologies and IT languages, so that business problems
can be addressed.
• Create platforms for the students to become entrepreneurs and a relish for higher
studies.

2. Relevance of Programme with Manipal University, Jaipur Mission and Goals

In order to align with the mission and goals of Manipal University Jaipur, the Online BCA
Programme is planned to enable students and working professionals gain knowledge in
various domains of management, specialize in a domain of their choice, gain knowledge of
not only managerial skills including analysis, data based decision making and
entrepreneurship, but also introduce them to managerial role in newer and emerging
markets, products and technologies.
 Vision

Global Leadership in Higher Education and Human Development

Mission

• Be the most preferred University for innovative and interdisciplinary learning

• Foster Academic research and professional excellence in all domains

• Transform young minds into competent professionals with good human values

3. Nature of Prospective Target Group of Learners

The BCA program through online learning provides personalized approach; this program is for
the group of people who aspire to build/grow in their career through flexible timings. This
program is also for the working professionals, who want to earn and learn simultaneously. The
applicants are the people who plan their learning process as per their convenience without a
fixed class schedule.

This Online programme has been designed for conventional learners, as well as working
professionals and other individuals aspiring to acquire knowledge and associated academic
credentials. Considering that all candidates interested in pursuing a degree may not be able
to afford the same through a campus mode for reasons of paucity of time or financial
constraints, online delivery is a feasible option to enable them to acquire knowledge and
skills. Delivery through this mode also contributes towards Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of
50% by 2035, as envisaged by the Government of India.

The programme is so designed that the prospective students who may not be able to afford
full time, residential BCA are provided with high value learning, anytime, anyplace, at one’s
own pace.

4. Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in Online mode to acquire specific

skills and competence

The courses in the programme are delivered through Self-Learning e-Module which is a
modular unit of e-learning material which is inter-alia self-explanatory, self-contained, self-
directed at the learner, and amenable to self-evaluation, and enables the learner to acquire
the prescribed level of learning in a course of study and includes contents in the form of a
 combination of the following e-Learning content, and made available through four-quadrant
approach namely,
(a) e-Tutorial - faculty led Audio - Video Lectures, (b) e-Content (combination of PDF/ epub)
Text Materials, (c) Discussion forum for raising of doubts and clarifying the same on real time
basis by the Course Coordinators/Course Mentors assigned to students (d) Self-
Assessment Quiz, Test and Assignments to reinforce learning. Reference books are also
mentioned in the syllabus. Latest Edition of Reference books may be referred to.

A robust Learning Management System that keeps track of delivery of e-Learning

Programmes, learner’s engagement, assessment, results and reporting in one centralized
location, is in place. All of the above can be done/delivered by online and other platforms
without much loss of fidelity. Hence the BCA programme is suited for Online mode of
learning.

5. Instructional Design

5.1. Curriculum design

Curriculum has been designed by experts in the area of Management and care has been
taken to include contemporary topics, as well as topics that also inculcate environmental
awareness in students. The curriculum and syllabus are approved by the Board of Studies,
Centre for Internal Quality Assurance (CIQA) and University Academic Council which
consists of experts from Academia and Industry.

which academicians, industry representatives and other stakeholders are nominated as
members. The IQAC is a part of the institution’s system and work towards realisation of the
goals of quality enhancement and sustenance, as quality enhancement is a continuous
process. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent, and
catalytic improvement in the overall performance of institutions. The work of the IQAC is the
first step towards internalization and institutionalization of quality enhancement initiatives..
IQAC’s elementary motive is to promote measures for institutional functioning towards quality
enhancement through internalization of quality culture and institutionalization of best practices.
