[Five Years’ (Full – Time) M.Sc. (CA&IT) Integrated Degree Course]
Second Year M.Sc. (CA&IT) (Semester - IV)
Course Name: Advance Programming- Practical
Course Code: DSC-M- IMSCIT-244P
Course Credit: 2
Objective:
This course aims to provide students with hands-on experience in Python programming. The
primary focus is on implementing foundational and advanced Python concepts covered in the
theory syllabus. Students will learn to apply control structures, data structures, functions, object-
oriented programming, file handling, and advanced features such as regular expressions, exception
handling, and working with external libraries.
Course Outcomes:
By completing this course a student will:
Write Python programs using control structures, functions, and loops.
Perform file handling operations in Python to read and write data.
Use Python’s object-oriented features to create and manipulate objects.
Work with lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples to manage data.
Apply regular expressions for text processing and pattern matching.
Implement error handling and debugging in Python programs.
Utilize Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib for data analysis and
visualization.
