C Programming Course
Course overview
Course Overview:
Introduction to C Programming:
This course provides an in-depth introduction to programming using the C language. Students will learn the foundational principles of programming, including syntax, data types, control structures, functions, and memory management. Through hands-on projects and exercises, students will develop practical programming skills applicable to a wide range of software development tasks.
Objectives:
- Understand the syntax and semantics of the C programming languages.
- Develop proficiency in writing, compiling, and debugging C program.
- Apply fundamental programming concepts such as variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and arrays
- Gain knowledge of memory management techniques and pointers in C.
Prerequisites:
No prior programming experience is required for this course. However, basic computer literacy and familiarity with using a computer are recommended.
Mentor Support:
Learners will have access to an experienced instructor who will provide support through discussion forums, live Q&A sessions, and email to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the course.

Certification
Course Certification:
Upon successful completion of the course, there will be cumulative test conducted and students who scored above 60% marks will receive a certificate of completion from GeekBase Technology, which can be used to showcase their newly acquired C programming skills.
Note: Test will be a MCQ pattern and maximum two attempts allowed.
