About the Degree

The Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) program at Rajarshi Janak University (RJU) is a four-year undergraduate degree designed to prepare students for a professional career in the field of Information Technology (IT). Spread over eight semesters and totaling 128 credit hours, this program blends theoretical understanding with practical application to meet the growing demand for skilled IT professionals in Nepal and the global market.

The BCA curriculum at RJU is structured to provide a strong foundation in computer programming, software development, database management, networking, web technologies, and system analysis. In addition to technical subjects, students also study language, mathematics, statistics, and social science courses to promote holistic development. The program includes core courses, electives, project work, and an internship that offers real-world experience and industry exposure.

RJU’s BCA is not limited to coding or software—it emphasizes the development of problem-solving, communication, and analytical thinking skills. Students learn to work in teams, manage IT projects, and apply technology to solve business and societal problems. By the end of the program, graduates will be well-prepared for roles such as software developer, system analyst, database administrator, network administrator, and IT officer. They are also eligible for advanced studies in MCA, MIT, MSc IT, or MBA programs in Nepal and abroad.

Currently, the BCA program is offered at RJU’s University Campus in Janakpurdham and through several affiliated colleges across Nepal, with each college offering between 30 to 48 seats per intake. With experienced faculty, updated infrastructure, and industry-aligned training, Rajarshi Janak University aims to empower students with the knowledge and skills needed for a successful future in the fast-evolving tech world.

Grading System

The BCA program follows a continuous evaluation system. Each course is assessed through internal and external evaluations, with internal assessments carrying 40% and external board examinations carrying 60% of the total weight. For subjects that include practical/lab work, the internal 40% is further divided into 20% for lab performance and 20% for internal theory assessments. Students must secure a minimum of 40% in both internal and external evaluations to pass each course.
