Dr C.V. Raman University, Khandwa: Empowering Local Talent With Career-Ready BCA Program

The global IT sector is projected to reach $5 trillion by 2025, driven by advance­ments in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data science, and cybersecu­rity. However, challenges persist, includ­ing a widening skills gap where theoretical education often fails to align with industry demands, limited access to prac­tical training in rural and semi-urban areas, and financial barriers that hinder talented students from underserved regions.

Furthermore, the interdisciplinary requirements, including Agritech integration in agricultural-based econ­omies, are a reminder that the current trend in education needs to be more innovative and inclusive in order to con­tinue the positive growth trend.

Dr C.V. Raman University, Khandwa addresses these challenges head-on by delivering a BCA program tailored to bridge the gap between academia and industry, particularly in rural settings.

Founded in 2018 under the AISECT Group of Universities, Dr C.V. Raman University, Khandwa, was established with the purpose of bringing world-class higher education to rural and semi-urban India. The University is named after the Nobel Laureate Dr C V Raman.
