Bachelor of Computer Science (B.C.S.) Course Details

B.C.S. or Bachelor of Computer Science is an undergraduate Computer Science course which provides education related to Computer Science. Computer Science is an engineering science which studies the principles and use of computers. Certain institutes provide the course with different nomenclature, some of them are - B.Sc. (Computer Science), (B.Sc. CS), B.Sc. (Comp. Sci.) and B.S. (Computer Science). There are minor differences amongst these which are related to the coverage given to certain subjects or topics. The more popular abbreviation for Bachelor of Computer Science are the first two ones. The duration of Bachelor of Computer Science is 3 years with a number of Semesters which are generally 6 in number, 2 terms per year. The course curriculum includes Theory Papers and Laboratory Practical’s based on mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing. Conventionally B.C.S. stands for Bachelor of Computer Science and is of 3 Years Duration. However, B.C.S. offered by Continental Institute for International Studies stands for Bachelor of Computing Science. It is a 4 Year co-operative education program designed to meet Global standards with 8 Academic and 4 Work Terms. The conventional BCS course can also be pursued via correspondence or distance mode of education, though the nomenclature of the course may not be the same, e.g. Bharathair University. Those who complete the course are generally referred as Computer Scientists as their work may involve application theory; development of specialized languages and information technologies; and design of knowledge-based systems, programming tools, or computer games.
