BCA Internet of Things (IoT)

Overview

The Bachelor of Computer Applications in Internet of Things (IoT) is a four-year honours programme designed to prepare students for the rapidly evolving era of connected technologies and smart systems. The programme combines computing, electronics, networking, and data analytics to develop expertise in designing and implementing IoT solutions. Students gain practical experience in embedded systems, sensor networks, automation, cloud integration, and real-time projects. The curriculum is industry-aligned, offering exposure to advanced tools, global certifications, and project-based learning. The programme emphasises innovation, problem-solving, and experiential learning, equipping graduates with the technical and professional skills required for careers in IoT, emerging technologies, and data-driven systems across domains such as healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, and manufacturing.

The BCA Programme is a four-year degree programme, wherein a student, after successful completion, will be awarded an Honours degree. However, a student has the option to exit the programme after successful completion of the first three years. In such a case, the student will be awarded a Bachelor’s degree.
