1. Objectives of the Course

Python is an open-source, high-level, dynamically-typed, portable, expressive, easy to learn, and well known programming
language. Python is available as an open-source offering and is associated with large global community support. Top
companies such as Google, Yahoo!, Pinterest, Disney, Nokia, IBM have python as one of their main programming language.
This course provides a wide scope of learning & understanding of python programming . The main objectives of the course
are:
1. To understand the basics of Python (operations, control structures, data types, etc.)
2. Apply various data structures (list, tuple, string, dict.) for problem solving, fostering Industry, and
Innovation.
3. Design and implement logic-building programs using Python constructs to enhance Quality Education.
4. Understand the object-oriented program design and development.
5. Understand class inheritance and polymorphism for advanced programming skills, aligned with Quality
Education.
6. Design and develop real-time applications using Python GUI programming, promoting Industry, Innovation,
and Infrastructure.

13. Academic Integrity Policy:

Education at Chitkara University builds on the principle that excellence requires freedom where Honesty and integrity are its prerequisites.
Academic honesty in the advancement of knowledge requires that all students and Faculty respect the integrity of one another's work and recognize
the importance of acknowledging and safeguarding intellectual property. Any breach of the same will be tantamount to severe academic penalties.
