Questions
Do I need to know C before Python?
No, but it helps. We start from basics and do practical programs on the computer for every unit.
Will output-based questions be practised?
Yes. Predicting the output of code snippets is practised regularly, as it is common in exams and interviews.
Which syllabus does the course follow?
It follows the common BCA syllabus of UP state universities (University of Lucknow pattern, followed by affiliated colleges). Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre teaches as per your university syllabus and papers.
