About this Program

Symbiosis Online's Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) is a three-year online undergraduate degree from Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL), a UGC-recognised institution with a strong industry network, designed for 10+2 students who want a structured entry into the software industry with the flexibility to study from anywhere. The programme covers programming (C, C++, Java), web development, data structures and algorithms, database management (SQL), software engineering, computer networks, and fundamentals of artificial intelligence. Students access recorded lectures, live tutorial sessions, and online lab environments for hands-on coding practice. Eligibility: 10+2 in any stream. The programme suits fresh school-leavers, working professionals pivoting to IT, and students in smaller cities without access to quality campus-based BCA programmes. Graduates pursue roles as software developer, front-end developer, QA analyst, database administrator, and IT support specialist, and many proceed to MCA programmes for senior technical roles.
