Program:  Master of Computer Applications

Program Code: MCA

Level:  Post Graduate

Duration: 2 Years (4 Semester)

Program Overview:

Master of Computer Applications (MCA) is a full time professional Master's Degree in computer science with duration of two years (04 semesters). Out of the four semesters, one semester is dedicated to industrial training & software development. The programme is planned to have 5 theory subjects plus two laboratories each semester. The curriculum has a strong core covering information technology, business management and mathematics.

The course has been designed to meet the growing demand of qualified professionals in the field of Information Technology. It is a postgraduate course that can be taken up after obtaining a Bachelor's Degree. The MCA programme is inclined more toward Application Development and thus has more emphasis on latest programming languages and tools to develop better and faster applications.

The MCA programme focuses on providing a sound theoretical background as well as good practical exposure to students in the relevant areas. It is intended to provide a modern, industry-oriented education in applied computer science. As the IT and the software industry are dynamic and fast growing, all the programmes are designed keeping in view the requirements of industry. Students are trained in the fields of Systems Designing, Application Software Development, Enterprise Resource Planning, Computer Networks, System Administration, Web Designing & Development, Database Administration, Parallel & Vector Processing, Data Mining & Warehousing etc.
