This point also gives an impression that BCA graduates are more reliable for the jobs they have been recruited for. The Companies will start recruiting BCA freshers as soon as they step into their fifth semester. Further, the number of Engineering graduates every year in Karnataka State is counted in lakhs and their employability is hardly 15 to 20 percent. The rest of the Engineering graduates will be doing the jobs in which they are not specialised.
n Second, if you have an inclination towards Computers, you will have a lot of fun time which can fulfil your desires in three years.
n Third, a few core subjects coupled with a few certificate courses, delivers a lot of skills to elevate your interests in developing gaming software and animation. Such specialised certificate courses come handy to a BCA student over another non-IT degree student.
n Fourth, if you are looking for a decent job in software industry immediately after the BCA degree, you require developing that extra bit of programming skills. That can lead you to jobs like software developer, software test engineer etc. Further, you can also find jobs like Technical support engineer, Technical Writer, Web Designer, Software Sales Engineer and much more.
n Fifth, a few core subjects on computer networks coupled with network certifications like Cisco certified CCNA, Microsoft certified MCSE etc., can provide high paid challenging jobs and research options in Networking domain as Network Engineer, Server Administrator etc., at various levels.
n Sixth, the workshops conducted periodically on various newer technologies include Mobile Application (Apps) development, device-independent programming languages, cloud computing, etc. Students are encouraged to develop mobile applications, Robot building, Web-designing and other interesting domains, outside their regular coursework. These mini projects will be a value addition to their Resume for a bright future.
