Eligibility
DCA at SRK University is the university’s shortest computer-education programme, built for students who want practical, job-ready computer skills without committing to a 3-year degree. Running since 2016 with 100 seats, it’s a common choice for students entering government exam preparation, clerical roles, or small-business computing roles that require certified basic IT literacy rather than a full BCA or MCA.
The 1-year format covers office applications, basic programming, and internet fundamentals in a condensed schedule, with SRK’s Faculty of Computer Application delivering the same core computing instructors used across BCA and MCA. For students unsure whether to commit to a longer computer science degree, DCA offers a lower-cost, lower-time way to test the field first.
DCA graduates from SRK University take up roles as computer operators, data entry executives, and office assistants, or use the diploma as a stepping stone toward BCA.
The programme covers Computer Fundamentals, MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), basic Internet & Email usage, and an introduction to programming logic (typically C or BASIC fundamentals). The final weeks include practical lab assessments and a project demonstrating applied office-computing or basic programming skills.
Candidates need to have passed Class 12 (10+2) from a recognised board in any stream; no prior computer knowledge is required.
