The Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) is a specialized undergraduate program designed to bridge the gap between theoretical computer science and the practical application of technology in the business world. The BCA course subjects are strategically curated to evolve a student from a basic computer user into a proficient software developer, system analyst or database administrator.
At Puran Murti Campus, the BCA curriculum is aligned with the latest industry standards, ensuring that students master both the foundational logic of computing and the high-level frameworks used in modern software houses. This guide provides an exhaustive breakdown of the subjects you will encounter during this three-year academic journey.
The BCA course subjects are built upon a "software-first" philosophy. While engineering degrees often spend significant time on hardware and physics, the BCA curriculum focuses on:
The first year is dedicated to leveling the playing field for students coming from various academic backgrounds (science, commerce or arts).

A unique feature of the BCA course subjects at Puran Murti Campus is the integration of "Lab" modules for every technical theory. We believe that coding is a craft that can only be mastered by doing.
While many subjects overlap, the focus is different:
BCA students often find themselves more specialized in high-level programming and web technologies earlier in their academic careers compared to engineering students.
At Puran Murti Campus, we supplement the standard university BCA course subjects with "Bridge Modules" to keep pace with the industry:
Every subject in the BCA curriculum serves a specific purpose in your professional life:
The BCA course subjects represent a comprehensive and exciting journey through the world of digital innovation. By balancing the "evergreen" fundamentals of computer science with the "ever-changing" trends of the software industry, this curriculum ensures that graduates are versatile, skilled and highly employable.
At Puran Murti Campus, our faculty members bring these subjects to life through real-world examples and intensive practical training. Whether your goal is to become a top-tier software engineer, a cybersecurity expert or an entrepreneur, the subjects you study during your BCA will provide the essential building blocks for your success.
