Most BCA programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), 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 building and running software at scale: operating systems, networks, virtualisation, cloud platforms and automation. Typical first jobs: cloud engineer, DevOps engineer or site reliability engineer. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

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

Here is how the fee on record breaks down. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.
