B.Sc. COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAMME OBJECTIVE
The basic objective of the Programme is to open a channel of admission for computing courses for students, who have done the 10+2 and are interested in taking computing/IT as a career. After acquiring the Bachelor‟s Degree (B.Sc. Computer Science) at University of Calicut, there is further educational opportunity to go for an MCA or other Master‟s Programme like MSc (Computer Science), MSc (IT), MBA, etc., at this university or at any other University/Institute. Also, after completing the B.Sc. Computer Science Programme, a student should be able to get entry level job in the field of Information Technology or ITES or they can take up self-employment in Indian & global software market. The specific objectives of the Programme include
- To attract young minds to the potentially rich and employable field of computer applications.
- To be a foundation graduate Programme this will act as a feeder course for higher studies in the area of Computer Science/Applications.
- To develop skills in software development so as to enable the B.Sc Computer Science graduates to take up self-employment in Indian and global software market.
- To train and equip the students to meet the requirements of the Software industry in the country and outside.
DURATION OF THE PROGRAMME
The minimum duration for completion of a four-semester PG Programme is two years. The maximum period for completion is 4 years.
