Programme Project Report (PPR) is as under:-

1. Programme’s Mission and Objectives

A. Mission: The mission of this programme is to develop competent professionals who will
contribute to society as broadly educated, expressive, ethical and responsible citizens with
proven expertise. University seeks to instill in students a passion for learning and peer-
recognition, as an individual or in a team through demonstration of analytical, design and
implementation skills

B. Objectives: The program fulfills The Center for Distance Education and Open Learning,
IEC University objective to promote students as system analysts, system designers,
programmers and system managers in any field related to information technology. The
programme aims at imparting comprehensive knowledge with equal emphasis on theory
and practice. The objective of the programme is to prepare graduates who will be
successful professionals in industry, government, academia, research, entrepreneurial
pursuit and consulting firms.

C. Relevance of the program with University Mission and Goals

The University is committed to quality teaching and research through inter disciplinary
understanding in the subject of computer science. The programme offers students with
 technical knowledge and various skills like teaching, programming, designing website and
designing software. The knowledge of Computer Science will help the students to learn
about the technology, to learn various languages like C, C++, Java and many more. The

programme will prepare graduates who will contribute to society as broadly educated,
expressive, ethical and responsible citizens with proven expertise.
D. Nature of prospective target group of learners
The Center for Distance Education and Open Learning, IEC University opens new
dimensions of opportunities for aspirants who are separated by time and seeking to upgrade
their educational qualification. The target group includes service personnels, academicians,
government officials, home makers, graduates, prisoners, people living in rural or remote
areas, persons with disabilities, professionals who wish to improve their skills and the
persons who were deprived of education in conventional education system.
E. Learning needs of prospective students
Bachelor in Computer Applications enables students to design a computing system to meet
desired needs within realistic constraints such as safety, security and applicability. Students
also learn how to devise and conduct experiments, interpret data and provide well informed
conclusions and also learn to communicate effectively. The programme provides the
knowledge to the students so that they can become a system analysts, system designers and
programmers.
Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in Open and Distance
Learning mode to acquire specific skills and competence:
Bachelor in Computer Applications is already running at IEC University in regular mode
in the Department of Computer Science & Applications with limited intake. The
knowledge of Computer Science & Application is important because it allows students to
acquire computer skills and also information technology related equips them for the
activities involving designing and programming.it will help them become professionals in
industry, government, academia, research, entrepreneurial pursuit and consulting firms.
