Questions

Which syllabus does this C Programming Lab course follow?

It follows the common UP state university BCA syllabus (University of Lucknow pattern) for BCA Semester 2. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.

What happens in the lab exam?

You write and run one or two programs, show the output, submit the practical file and answer viva questions.

Can I practise at home?

Yes. The trainer helps you install a free compiler such as Code::Blocks (GCC) on your laptop.
