Why BCC
BCC (Basic Computer Course) is a NIELIT course for people who want to use a computer for everyday work. NIELIT is the National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology under the Government of India. BCC goes a step beyond ACC: along with computer basics and digital payments, you learn the three office tools used in almost every workplace, which are a word processor, a spreadsheet and a presentation tool.
What you will do
You will set up and use a computer, change basic Windows settings, and manage files and folders. You will write and format letters with tables, bullets, headers and footers; build a simple spreadsheet with formulas such as SUM and AVERAGE; and make a slide show with pictures and timings. You will also browse and download from the internet, send emails, use social media and messaging apps safely, access services through UMANG and DigiLocker, and pay with UPI, cards and net banking.
How the classes run
22 of the 36 hours are practical, so you do every topic on a computer in class. Each chapter ends with NIELIT-style model questions. Trainers teach in simple English or Hindi.
Before you start
No computer knowledge is needed. If you can already use a computer a little, BCC will fill the gaps and add MS Office skills.
Exam and certificate
After the course, you take the BCC exam conducted by NIELIT. NIELIT issues the certificate to candidates who pass. We register you for the exam and practise the exam pattern with you in class. The exam fee of ₹531 is separate from the course fee, and you pay it at our centre when we register you.
After BCC
If you only need computer basics and digital payments, ACC is shorter. If you plan to work in an office, CCC covers the same tools in more depth, plus cyber security and an introduction to AI.
