Today's era is an information era because of wide development in the field of Information Technology. The IT revolution has come in a big way, and thousands of students want to join the band wagon. The Masters Degree course in Computer Applications (MCA) is one course which incorporates in its syllabus the Computer Applications study with an essence of Mathematics,
Statistics and Human Resource Management. This is a prestigious 3- year (6 semester) course for
the graduates who want to establish their credentials in the field of Information Technology as
specialists. The maximum emphasis in this course is to deliver the industry specific contents,
which have their relevance in the current as well as upcoming scenario. This most sought after
highly recognised course caters to the demands of professionals with international acceptance.
The student of this stream would be served with the state-of-the-art systems and other laboratories
of the college. They shall also have the support of an array of highly qualified and experienced
faculty.
The MCA course is approved by AICTE, Government of India and is run under the curriculum of
Bangalore University. The course is carefully redesigned and updated by the University frequently
keeping in view the ever changing trends in IT industry. Upon successful completion of the course,
the degree is awarded by the Bangalore University.
The MCA course extends for three years divided into six semesters including Six months dedicated for live project in industry. During the course of these three years, the student will learn the fundamentals of computers to the most advanced subjects in the field of computer applications.
The student will develop industrial oriented projects in each of the semesters beginning from third
semester onwards. A full fledged live project will be carried out individually by each student in an
industrial organisation of their choice in the 6th semester.
