What is a Degree in Bachleors in Computer Applications?
The BCA is a common degree in computer applications for CS/IT students at Indian universities and is an alternative to the engineering counterpart, the BE/B-Tech in Computer Science and Engineering/IT, which requires 4 years of study.
It is a technical degree that prepares students for a career in the field of computer applications and software development. The course provides a sound academic base from which a career in Computer Applications and the IT field can be developed.
Bachelor of Computer Application is an undergraduate degree that can be pursued after completing 10+2 in science and commerce from any of the Top BCA colleges in Delhi/NCR.
This course offers knowledge on Computer Applications like Programming, Web designing, and is meant for the students who want to enter the IT Industry. It provides a substantial understanding of the concept in key areas of Computer Science, which paves the way for higher studies as a post-graduation course (MCA) in the relevant field.
What are the BCA Course Subjects In 2025?
The following are the subjects that BCA students need to study in order to widen their domain knowledge.
Semesters’ Subjects in Each Semester

What is the Job Opportunities And Growth Chart?
The demand for IT professionals is not only increasing in India but also abroad. After completing BCA, there is a wide range of jobs available both in government and private companies.
There are a lot more jobs available, and people get easily accepted in large MNCs like Google, Infosys, IBM, HP, Oracle, TCS, Syntel, HCL, NIIT, Dell, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Accenture, and so on.
The government organizations like NIC, the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force, and the India Navy also recruit a large number of computer professionals for their IT departments.
After the completion of the course a student’s work profile may include, Tester /developer, System engineer, Junior programmer, web developer, System administrator, Software developer and so on. The IT field is one of the highest paying fields for a fresher.
A computer professional working in a big MNC can easily get an initial package of Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000 per month. Some IT giants like Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and Facebook pay even a six-figure salary to a fresh graduate.
Conclusion
A BCA course is UGC UGC-approved graduation program (after 10+2) and is considered a technical course by some employers and universities. BCAÂ generally shares the syllabus with a Masters in Computer Science but in less depth.
Hence, students should be able to learn a wide spectrum of basic computer technology and coding, which helps secure jobs where limited Computer Science knowledge is needed.
