Programming

The proper way to learn anything is to get comfortable with it. Practice it a ton of times, spend as much time as possible, become obsessed with it. The same formula applies for programming too. Practice it, spend time in gaining knowledge about concepts from different books, websites, videos, courses. Attend your college lectures and pay proper attention. Understand and ask what's the use or meaning of every single character or word used with-in the programme. Don't just rely on your faculty members, research on your own too. And one more time, practice. If you want to learn programming languages which you will be studying in your BCA course then you can check out this app "BCA - Course Programming" which is specially designed and developed for BCA students and is available on Google Play Store. It has programs and assignments of languages like C, C+ and Java with their outputs. You'll be studying these languages in your 3 years of BCA.

No, it is not mandatory to be good or have experience in programming, if you are interested in pursuing CSE. In CSE & IT both, programming languages will be taught from the basics. So, it doesn't matter if you previously had any knowledge/experience in programming or not. Your professors will spend first 2 semesters teaching you the basics of programming including syntaxes, basic input/output, loops, algorithms etc. You can begin learning on your own too from online tutorials, blogs, courses, videos, to get a little grasp on the basics, which will be strengthened when you'll attend your lectures. If you want to get access to all programs/codes of all programming languages taught in entire B.Tech course then you can follow this app "B.Tech CSE & IT Course Programming" on Google Play. It is specially developed for B.Tech students.

It is true that BCA does not hold that much value as compared to B.Tech CSE or IT. But, BCA is a course which is for commerce and arts stream students or even for Science stream students who didn't performed well in their +2 and wants to build a career in IT. It is also true that if you have a BCA degree and absolutely no or little knowledge in programming, you probably will not be securing any job offers. In BCA you have to put in your extra efforts in learning and mastering the skills in programming. Just having the degree will not yield much. Only BCA's syllabus is not enough for a fruitful career, you've to do additional courses and also master's degree. BCA is like an alternate and a longer route for students building a career in IT. If you're a BCA student or will pursue BCA remember that you'll have to work/study harder to make your resume look different.
