DAV College Chandigarh, BCA, General

Reviewed on Oct 31, 2021(Enrolled 2019)

Remarks

The reason I have chosen DAVC for my BCA is its 11th Rank for Computer Applications by IndiaToday group in 2019. The college is a popular name under PU, Chandigarh and holds approval by UGC & accreditation from NAAC. Not just BCA but the institute offers a variety of courses across Science, Arts Commerce and Management. Admission to all UG courses at DAVC are based upon the Seat availability and Scores of applicants in previous academic years/standards.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

We all know that if a student loves computers then a ton of options are available whether it's BCA, B.Tech or even B.Sc in related fields. However, after a few consultations and decisions I decided to do my graduation in BCA and I was very happy with the exposure I've gained towards the field till now.The 3 year course has a seat capacity of 120 students and enough teaching faculty is available to help students learn through the best ways.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 110000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Good internships are there at BCA as various tech recruiters and industries had collaborations with DAVC and that helped students to work on high profile job roles and have the best of work environment as well as the actual pressure.

Placement Experience

4.5

Students of BCA are among the most popular one's at DAVC because most of the recruiters in this college require good individuals for related fields. Students are eligible for Placements in the final year and they can get a great corporate exposure through this round. Overall the college has nearly 90% placement records and the average package at DAVC is also decent.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The college charges a very decent fee for all its Courses and the same for BCA. The total fee for the 3-year programme was INR 1.11 lacs and students can get further concessions/aids if they fulfill the eligibility criterias. Students have to pay this fee in annual shifts of INR 36480 in II & III year while for the I year some extra charges are added to it.

Campus Life

4.5

I just got to explore the campus life of DAVC for a few months and then COVID pandemic arrived and we all know how it affected our normal lives. Although a part of our campus life got waived due to the situation, Still we can't deny the fact that both facilities and events at DAVC are great. I've experienced very few of them, but the activities I have been part of were all fantastic. Our college has Clubs for Art's, Placement and Sports also which shows how much the college cares for students' overall development.

Hostel Facilities

Students can pay the hostel fee in shifts or even in the commencement if they want to. The hostel accommodation as well as mess both charged a total of INR 85,000 and those wishing to get AC rooms have to pay additional charges.The institute gives good opportunities to keep students busy with activities related to Sports or extracurricular things. I think students who belong to other cities or want to reside elsewhere then their home, the hostel of DAVC is a good option.

Hostel Fee: INR 85000 per year

Admission

Students who have completed their. XII with the relevant subjects can apply for the BCA programme at DAVC but they must have scored a minimum of 50% marks. The selection of the candidates is entirely based on the Merit scored by candidates among all the applicants & also the seats.

The campus is over 100 years old and has strong alumini network.
Placements are good as per my rank in JEE
Peer group is good and there are diversed people all around

Dislikes

Infrastructure is really old; but then again legacy comes at a cost.
Campus is smaller as compared to NITs and IITs ; so is the funding
Its still not an institute of national importance. Has no nation wide recognition

Placement Experience:

Since the first batch of VLSI is yet to be placed I would take example of ECE for reference. Out of 110 students which sat for placements , 91 got placed , median of 13 lakh with avergae of 16 lakh and 61 lakh highest on campus. These are of 24-25 and this year placements are better as even apple visited us after an hiatus of 3 years. In core electronics , Samsung Rnd , TATA electronics , Cadence , Micron etc visited for tech , UKG , PhonePay , Oracle , Accenture etc vist in consulting and finance , Mckinsey , JP Morgan , GoldmanSachs , AmericanExpress visit. After my btech I plan to do a job.

Syllabus is good, it is very versatile and updated according to the industry standards
The University also has a good events and also a good night life
The infrastructure is very modern with unique outlets to eat in

Dislikes

There is a uniform system which is very bad according to university
Very strict rules regarding in and out of the University
The outlets in university are quite expensive

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate the course plan around 7 out of 10 in terms of relevance and depth. I chose this course mainly because it includes core tech subj like DSA, DBMS, OS, AI and cloud, which are useful for jobs in tech field. The presence of lab work and proj based learning also influenced my choice. The curriculum gives a fair base in theory and basic prac skills. It helps in campus place prep and also builds base for higher study like MTech or MS. But real world skill still depends a lot on self study, online course and side proj. Some topics feel updated, but a few subj are still too theory heavy and not linked to real case use. Exams are held twice as mid test and once as end term in each sem. There are also quiz, viva and lab eval. The level is moderate. If you attend class and revise notes, it is manageable. For improve, more live proj, hack event, ind visit and case study should be added. Teach method should shift more to code demo and less slide read

Good facilities, really teaches student and give individual attention in class too
Good infrastructure , as it was just built in 2021, the infrastructure is top notch and no complaints about it.
Papers are being checked anonymously, one’s paper can be checked by any teacher in any campus, so no chance of partiality

Dislikes

80% strict attendance criteria other they would not allow to sit in exam
Passing criteria is 40% and grading system is also bery difficult, two D grade is 1 F and more than 2F could lead to year repeat year, not even semster
Alot of assigments, really hectic at times

Placement Experience:

We have avergae package of 12 lpa and 57lpa highest, i am not aware of how mqny placed. As such i have plan to get placed but if things didnt go out as planed then mba or mtech maybe. Our campus just opened recently so there is no much information but our placements are central that means, companies visting mumbai have to visit us too, and u can refer mumbai campus placement for our campus because its counted on central level and not varries campus to campus

There are very limited art college in india and GCA Chandigarh is 1 of them. I opted for printmaking because I wanted to explore different mediums of expression. The college is well equipped with faculty experienced in their own particular mediums aswell as exploring new mediums. You will get the freedom to build you creativity.
