Computer Science is the call of the new era. Propounded very correctly by our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, Data is the New Oil Just like the fact oil is valuable when refined, in the same way raw data is of no worth. Only when data is gathered completely and accurately, connected with other relevant data in prompt time process creates its significance and value. Education of Computer Science enables you to explore data and comprehend the trend of the market. In present scenario the major backbone of the world economy is from IT & IT Enabled Services. There are nearly 4,000 colleges in India who offer education in Computer Application courses in a full-time mode of study, out of these 53% colleges are private, around 8% are government and rest are public-private colleges. While deciding you must consider three things about the college:-
1. Curriculum & Pedagogy
2. Exposure
3. Placement
As an academician & a professional trainer I found the complete concept of education in LPU to be as per the call of the hour. LPU has a planned and a well structured curriculum of BCA in collaboration with the industry need. The focus during the tenure of the course is kept on the latest need by upgrading the curriculum almost every term and then designing problems for learners based on the current scenario in technology. Presently the emphasis is on mobile application development/pervasive computing. LPU emphasis on Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons / Co-curricular Competitive events, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, Incubation projects, Community projects, projects with NGOs etc. Are an integral part of curriculum. LPUs curriculum also imbibes rigorous training and internships along with live projects to make their scholars a ready fit for the industry. The efforts put in this direction makes all the students place-able and earns record placement each year. LPU is conferred with National Employability Award 2020 by Aspiring Minds for the 7th time in a row for having Most Employable Students and being one among the top colleges and universities in India with one of the highest Employability rates. LPU is ranked 10th Best Training and Placements Institutions in India for 2019 by The Knowledge Review.
