As part of its efforts to overcome a major shortcoming and prepare students for the challenges of the modern society driven through technology, the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), Odisha has decided to introduce a non-examining compulsory subject “Basic Computer Education” (BCE) at the +2 level, said a senior official in the Department of Higher Education (DoHE).
 Despite the ever-growing importance of computer education, the State has not introduced the subject at the higher secondary level so far. Principal Secretary of Higher Education Gagan Kumar Dhal has asked his departmental officials to form a committee to finalise the process to ensure that students are able to receive computer education from this academic session itself.
 In a proposal submitted to the DoHE, CHSE Chairman Nihar Ranjan Patnaik has outlined the course of action and roadmap to complete the process as soon as possible, said an official.
As per the proposal, BCE course would be introduced in Classes XI and XII and carry 100 marks (both theory and practical). Principals of colleges would conduct the examination at their college level and award grades to the students, which would be reflected in the mark-sheets and certificates issued by the CHSE.
The colleges would make provisions for computer labs and other infrastructure facilities. Courses are being finalised taking the help of experts in the field of computer education, said the official.
The BCE course would be available to Plus Two students of all the three streams of Science, Arts and Commerce as well as of subjects like Yoga and Environmental Science. “This will improve the students’ basic knowledge of computers, which is currently lacking among them,” said the official.

  1. thank you for the comment. Indeed, this is another way to address this problem:

    We are proud to introduce ourselves to you as a bridge between you and Information Technology. The computer revolution and the era of Information Technology have changed our lives dramatically. Today, business, the communication industry, Science, medicine, travel and finance every aspect of our life is heavily dependent of Information technology. While Indian software exports are growing at an unprecedented pase, there is an acute shortage of skilled computer professions.
