Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) Database Systems

Due to computerization of various sectors such as industry, banks, financial services etc have resulted in enormous amounts of digital data. Such data is to be properly managed by database management systems. The study of database management systems will help to master the principles, tools, and techniques used in design, programming, administration and security of database management systems with a Database Management specialization. As a professional in this field, one should be able to analyze the data needs of an organization or company, and determine how to organize and store the data in logical and useful ways. Hence there is good scope for taking up the program with specialization in Database Management Systems.

VISION

The department of Computer Applications aims to transform graduates into software experts with high degree of technical skill and to encourage students towards research.

MISSION
