Sai BCA FAQs
Ques. Is the BCA programme at Sai Group of Institutions a new course, and how does that affect placements?
Ans. Yes, the BCA programme at Sai Group of Institutions (under Sai Business and Media School) is a relatively recently introduced course. As per a student review from 2023, the most senior batch at that time was in their third semester. The college has partnered with AJ Campus to facilitate placement opportunities for BCA students. While dedicated BCA placement data is not yet available due to the programme's recent launch, the broader Sai Group reports that approximately 70% of students across programmes are placed, with an average package of around Rs. 3.5 LPA and a highest package of Rs. 10 LPA across all courses. Students should factor in this context when evaluating placement prospects specifically for BCA.
Ques. What is the exact fee for the first year of BCA, and are there any hidden charges?
Ans. As per the official fee structure on sipas.edu.in, the tuition fee for BCA is Rs. 49,000 per year. In addition, a one-time admission fee of Rs. 10,000 (non-refundable) and a one-time uniform fee of Rs. 8,000 are charged in the first year. Annual recurring charges of Rs. 4,600 (covering library, sports, and insurance) are applicable every year. So the effective first-year cost comes to approximately Rs. 71,600 (tuition + admission + uniform + recurring), and Rs. 53,600 per year for the 2nd and 3rd years. A student review on Collegedunia also corroborates this, mentioning Rs. 70,000 for the first year (including the Rs. 8,000 uniform fee).

Ans. The official eligibility on the college website states that students must have passed Class 12 with 50% marks with English as a compulsory subject, without specifically mandating Mathematics. However, some sources indicate that Mathematics or Computer Science at the Class 12 level is preferred. Students from non-Mathematics backgrounds (such as Commerce or Arts with Computer Science) are generally eligible. It is recommended to verify this directly with the admissions office before applying, as requirements may vary for specific batches.
