The Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programme at Gopal Narayan Singh University (GNSU) requires applicants to pass a 10+2 (Higher Secondary) examination or equivalent with a minimum of 45% aggregate marks. The programme requires Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as mandatory subjects. GNSU offers both online and offline application methods. Online applicants can visit the GNSU website, create an account, and fill out an online application form. They must upload required documents, pay the application fee, and submit the form online. Offline applicants can obtain the application form and prospectus from the GNSU admissions office or a designated center, fill it out manually, attach necessary documents, and pay the fee through a Demand Draft (DD) payable at Jamuhar, Sasaram.Selection for the BCA programme is primarily based on merit, considering the marks obtained in the 10+2 examination. In cases of a large number of applicants with the same marks, the university may use additional criteria like interviews or group discussions for the final selection. Important details to remember include application deadlines, the absence of a separate entrance exam, and the reservation policy of the Government of Bihar for admissions. Ensure all required documents are in the correct format before applying.

The current research aimed to identify acoustic speech characteristics which mark the beginning of an exacerbation in COPD patients. The central questions for this research were as follows: 1. Which acoustic measures extracted from read speech differ between COPD speakers in stable condition and healthy speakers? 2. In what ways does the speech of COPD patients during an exacerbation differ from speech of COPD patients during stable periods? All recordings were aligned using a script. Subsequently, they were manually annotated to indicate respiratory actions such as inhaling and exhaling. The recordings of 9 stable COPD patients reading aloud were then compared with the recordings of 5 healthy control subjects reading aloud. The results showed a significant effect of condition on the number of in- and exhalations per syllable, the number of non-linguistic in- and exhalations per syllable, and the ratio of voiced and silence intervals. The number of in- and exhalations per syllable and the number of non-linguistic in- and exhalations per syllable were higher for COPD patients than for healthy controls, which confirmed both hypotheses. However, the higher ratio of voiced and silence intervals for COPD patients compared to healthy controls was not in line with the hypotheses. This unpredicted result might have been caused by the different reading materials or recording procedures for both groups, or by a difference in reading skills. Moreover, there was a trend regarding the effect of condition on the number of syllables per breath group. The number of syllables per breath group was higher for healthy controls than for COPD patients, which was in line with the hypothesis. There was no effect of condition on pitch, intensity, center of gravity, pitch variability, speaking rate, or articulation rate. This research has shown that the speech of COPD patients in exacerbation differs from the speech of COPD patients in stable condition. This might have potential for the detection of exacerbations. However, sustained vowels rarely occur in spontaneous speech. Therefore, the last two outcome measures might have greater potential for the detection of beginning exacerbations, but further research on the different outcome measures and their potential for the detection of exacerbations is needed due to the limitations of the current study.
