Global Educational Institutes is a private institute, founded in 2002. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Global Educational Institutes — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most BCA programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means programming, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering, with a steady diet of lab work and projects. Typical first jobs: software developer, full-stack engineer, QA engineer or systems analyst.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Global Educational Institutes for the current semester-wise plan.
