The batch class fee is ₹3,000 for the complete course — 40 classes, 40 hours, 12 modules, and 500+ solved programs. One-to-One personalized sessions are ₹6,000 with dedicated instructor attention and a fully flexible schedule. Both options include study materials and an ISO-certified certificate.
Do I need any prior programming knowledge to join this C course?
No prior programming knowledge is required at all. The course begins from the absolute basics — types of languages, how a computer executes a program, and how to write your very first line of C code. It is specifically designed to be accessible to complete beginners.
How many practice programs are included in the C course?
The course includes 500+ solved programming questions distributed across all 12 modules. The looping module alone has 200+ programs. Every single concept — from basic operators to file handling — is reinforced with hands-on solved examples you work through in class.
Is there an online option for the C Programming course?
Yes. PBA Institute offers both online and in-person classes. Online sessions are conducted live with the same instructor and the same curriculum as at the Howrah campus — with full real-time interaction, live coding sessions, and doubt-solving during every class.
Why should I learn C when there are newer languages like Python and Java?
C teaches you how computers actually work — memory management, pointers, and low-level thinking that higher-level languages hide from you. Students who learn C first find Java, C++, and Python dramatically easier to master. C is also still heavily used in embedded systems, operating systems, and competitive programming where performance matters most.
What certificate will I receive after completing the C Programming course?
You will receive a course completion certificate from PBA Institute — ISO 9001:2015 Certified and MSME Government Registered. This is a recognized industry credential that adds genuine value to your resume when applying for software developer, IT analyst, and programming positions.
