INTRODUCTION
Indira Gandhi National Open University has prolonged its outreach beyond the borders of the country. The globalization of higher education, mainly via the distance mode of shipping, has given an altogether exceptional angle to the go-border transport of IGNOU’s academic packages in numerous international locations. The International Division came into existence after the international operations of the University. The Division became established on 16 October, 1997 as a Cell and was upgraded to the fame of a full-fledged Division in 2002. From 1996 onwards, the International Division has been assigned the task of offering and promoting the academic programs of IGNOU by way of organizing bilateral and multilateral co-operations with numerous partner institutions and organizations/universities throughout the globe. At present, IGNOU is offering academic programs in 35 countries across the globe via 62 Partner Institutions.
BCA or Bachelor of Computer Application is an undergraduate degree conferred to the students of Commerce. This is one of the most popular courses among students. Like any undergraduate course, BCA too is a three-year degree course and can be done by taking honors or passing subjects. Students pursuing it as honors take one or more subjects as a Major.
With the educational session of July 2022, the IGNOU has adopted the Choice Based Credit System offered by using the University Grants Commission. The Choice-based Credit System, that's on offer for the Diploma degree, offers adaptability to the students to examine the subjects/publications in their needs and pursuits.
The course gives a valid academic base from which an advanced profession in Computer Applications may be advanced.
