Department of Computer Application

The Department of Computer Applications at ACAS was established in 2023 with the launch of the Bachelor Programme in Computer Application (BCA). In line with the basic academic philosophy of ACAS, the Department follows the rigorous transformations that sweep across the discipline and keep the students updated and upskilled to meet the emerging frontiers. With a curriculum that combines application and theory in a judicious blend, the Department prepares the learners to be capable of applying what they have learned or what they believe that they have learned. The foundation we lay, exposing them to various areas of computer application, enables them to build careers that are rewarding and challenging. The activities at the department keep pace with the industry through expert interactions, institution visits, internships, and student exchange programmes. Add-on courses and training are provided through collaborations with other institutions to help them identify their career destinations rather early. AI, Data Analytics, Robotics, and other emerging areas are engaged by the faculty through supplementary programs and add-on courses. The department provides value-additions through conferences, workshops, webinars, project exhibitions, and self-development courses.
