Note-1:The Number of hours per week and credits are assigned to each course as per the course structure which
was already approved at the time of finalizing the first FOUR semesters of BCA programme under CBCS by the
concerned committee.
Note-2: One of the main objectives of Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC) is to inculcate practical skills related to the
domain subject in students. The syllabus of SEC will be skill oriented and hence, teachers shall impart practical
training to students on the skills embedded in syllabus citing related real field situations.
Note-3: Since, the proposed SECs are connected to Computer Programming/Software Tools and Skill enhancement,
the students need to get exposure on the syllabus content by practicing on the computer. Faculty are advised to
engage students in practical based assignments so as to ensure better understanding of the practical usage of the
particularskillbasedsubjectinrealapplicationdomain.
