Bridge Course Computer Science
Bridge Course Computer Science
Eligibility: BCA and Computer Science Sem 1 (For those students who got admission in
CS and BCA Sem 1 in this College)
A bridge course is conducted for the students every year by the computer science faculty to get
the students the knowledge of computer science. The main objective of the course is to bridge the
gap between subjects studied at Pre-university level and subjects they would be studying in
computer science department. A Bridge course aims to cover the gap between the understanding
level of the high school courses and higher educational courses. Bridge course is preparative
course for college level course with an academic curriculum that is offered to enhance the
knowledge of the students by means of preparing for the intellectual challenges of computer
science subject and to know basic information about core subject.
Bridge courses are the tool to help students to success in their graduate level. It is also a pre
requisite and foundational course to know the basic information about computer science subjects.
The bridge course aims to act as a buffer for the new entrants with an objective to provide
adequate time for the transition to hard core of degree courses. This gives them a breather, to
prepare themselves before the onset of courses for first year degree programe. During this
interaction of twelve hours with the faculty and their classmates the students will be equipped
with the knowledge and the confidence needed to take on bigger challenges in future.
Design
The course consist of 12 Hrs of interactive sessions and an internal examination designed by
the computer science departments which is compulsory for all students. The result will be
published in the website as well as on the notice board.
