SICSR BCA {Hons.} : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research in Pune offers a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) program with a structured curriculum. The faculty consists of six teachers for six subjects, although feedback suggests that two rely too heavily on PowerPoint presentations without clear concept explanations. The course includes four internal exams and one external exam, structured on a credit-based system. Students must clear internal assignments before external exams. Concerns were noted about visiting faculty, particularly Rajesh Math, for ineffective teaching.

An internship is mandatory in the 6th semester, with placement support available. Campus placement eligibility starts in the penultimate semester, with the institute boasting a placement rate of up to 93%, and reports of 100% placement in some cases. The highest package offered last year was 19 LPA, with an average of 7.5 LPA. The placement cell aids in securing internships and relevant projects. Fees for the BCA program are INR 126,000 for the first semester and INR 106,000 for the second semester, with international students paying USD 1,500 per semester.

The annual hostel fee is approximately INR 150,000. NRI students pay about INR 4.6 lakhs, which is INR 75,000 to 1 lakh more than general category Indian students, while foreign nationals pay about USD 1,300 (around INR 110,000). Scholarships, primarily for foreign nationals, are available based on merit, financial need, or other criteria. There is no recent fee hike, but policies may vary annually.
