This 4-year structure often includes a research component in the final year, leading to a "BCA (Hons) with Research" degree.

Multiple Entry and Exit Options: A key feature of NEP 2020 is flexibility. Students in a 4-year BCA (Hons) program usually have options to exit at different stages with a relevant qualification:

  • After 1 year (2 semesters): Undergraduate Certificate
  • After 2 years (4 semesters): Undergraduate Diploma
