Internal assessment
Assignments, quizzes and participation contribute to the internal component.
Term-end examination
End-of-semester examination covering the semester's subjects.
Examination mode
Commonly online and remotely proctored; a few universities use designated centres.
Projects and viva
Applied projects, and a viva where the curriculum includes one.
Passing criteria
Set by the university, usually as a minimum aggregate across internal and term-end components.
For BCA specifically, theory and practical papers are usually assessed separately, with the practical component evaluated through a coding assignment, a proctored lab test or a viva depending on the university. Weightings and formats can change between sessions, so confirm the current pattern with the university.
Learning format
Live classes
Interactive sessions with faculty on a published timetable.
Recorded lectures
On-demand access to every session for revision and schedule conflicts.
Digital LMS
One place for the syllabus, schedule, submissions, results and announcements.
Study material
E-books, reading lists, slides and case material issued by the university.
Discussion forums
Peer and faculty discussion threads, where the university enables them.
Assignments
Graded submissions spread across the semester.
Examinations
Term-end examinations in the mode the university specifies.
Practical papers are handled differently across universities: some provide access to cloud-based coding and database environments so you can run programs from any device, others release recorded lab demonstrations followed by an assessed take-home exercise, and a few require you to appear for a proctored practical examination. Ask specifically how labs and viva assessments work before enrolling.
Exam mode and assessment load by university
Every university on this list runs remote-proctored end-semester exams, but the number of exam events you sit differs with the semester count, and the examination fee is charged separately from tuition at several of them. If you travel for work, check both columns — a four-semester structure with a per-semester exam fee is a different commitment from an annual pattern.
