THE craze for IT courses continues. There is a scramble for anything that is IT and a lot of new courses with an emphasis on computers have been introduced during the past few years. However, there are just a handful of Websites dedicated to such courses.

One such site, www.bcastudents.com, is a Website of IT students, for IT students and by an IT student. To be precise, this site is a platform for the current students of BCA, a meeting place for the students who already have BCA degrees and a resource for those who are seeking admission into BCA.

The site has been developed and hosted by Nakul Goyal, who has done his BCA from PTU and is currently pursuing M.Sc (IT) from Government College for Men, Sector 11, Chandigarh.

"I am also working on the site to introduce its very own instant messenger and that too only for students of BCA. The source codes of various C, C++, Java and VB programs for the students, to learn from, would also be introduced shortly. This would include online tutorials of various hot technologies," Nakul says.

The main attraction of the site is free resume posting for the BCA students and job opportunities from various companies for BCA students only. The resumes from students of BCA will be allowed to be posted with complete contact information that would enable the prospective employers to be in direct contact with the job seekers.

The site is totally database administered and also provides the latest global news instantly and event announcements for free. Technical and management articles by the visitors are also posted on the site.

It may be recalled that earlier too this IT-savvy student had created a platform on the Net to help Gujarat quake victims through his Website, www.cwsteam.com/gujarat, wherein the team contributed Re 1 for every vote cast online to a question posed.
