To secure your seat in the BCA program for the 2026-27 session, you must meet a specific academic benchmark designed to ensure you can handle the technical rigor of computer science. While the criteria are inclusive, they follow standardized rules to maintain educational quality across all streams.
The primary requirement is the successful completion of your Class 12th (10+2) or an equivalent qualification from a recognized board, such as CBSE, ICSE, or any State Board (like HBSE or UP Board). Candidates must achieve a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in their qualifying exams. This percentage is calculated based on the total marks of all subjects listed on your marksheet. For students belonging to reserved categories (SC/ST), a 5% relaxation is typically provided, bringing the minimum required aggregate to 45%.
A unique feature of the BCA program at Puran Murti Vidyapeeth is its flexibility regarding subjects. While many technical degrees strictly require a Science background, the BCA program is open to students from Science, Commerce, and Arts streams. Although a background in Mathematics or Computer Science at the 10+2 level is "preferred"—meaning it may give you a slight advantage during the initial coding modules—it is not mandatory for admission. This ensures that creative students from the Arts or business-minded students from Commerce can pivot into the IT sector without being restricted by their high school subject choices.
To support students who did not have Mathematics in school, the college often incorporates Foundational Mathematics and logic-building sessions in the first semester. These "bridge" modules are designed to bring all students to the same level of proficiency before they dive into complex topics like Data Structures or Algorithm Design. This policy makes the BCA degree one of the most accessible pathways for any student aiming to enter the software and digital technology industry in 2026.
