Master Of Computer Applications (MCA)
Syllabus Effective From:-
MCA(Part I ) From Academic Year 2005-2006
MCA(Part II ) From Academic Year 2006-2007
MCA(Part III )From Academic Year 2007-2008
The name of the programmer shall be Master Of Computer Application (M.C.A) Integrated.
The knowledge and skills required to plan, design and build complex application Software systems are highly valued in all industry sectors including business, health, education and the arts. The basic objective of the education of the Masters programme in Computer Application (M.C.A) is to provide to the country a steady stream of the necessary knowledge, skills and foundation for acquiring a wide range of rewarding careers into the rapidly expanding word of the Information Technology.
Specific elective courses to be offered in functional areas have to depend on student preferences, faculty availability and needs of the user systems in the region in which the educational institution is located
The M.C.A program is a mix of computer-related and general business courses. The computer related courses use microcomputers to introduce standard techniques of programming; the use of software packages including word processors, worksheets, spreadsheets and databases; system analysis and design. The general business courses include the functional areas of management like accounting, sales, purchase, inventory, and production. The course would emphasis the study and creation of business applications, rather than more programming. This would emphasize on domain knowledge of various area, which would help the students to build software applications on it. The students are exposed to system development in the information-processing environment, with special emphasis on Management Information Systems and Software Engineering for small and medium computer systems. Also, exposure to microcomputer technology, micro-based systems design and micro applications software, including network and graphical wear interface systems is provided.
The M.C.A. Integrated programme will be a full-time three years Master's Degree Course of Computer Applications.
The new Curricula would focus on imparting skills, rather than knowledge to student. In other words, less theory, more practical.
The inclusion of projects at three levels ensures the focus on applying the skill learnt at respective levels.
The Institutes should organize placement programme for the M.C.A students, by interacting with the industries and software consultancy houses in and around the region in which the educational instruction is located.
Ordinarily, in each class, not more than 60 students will be admitted.
Job Opportunities
Many graduates begin their careers as junior programmers and, after some experience, are promoted to programmers, system analysts, and programmer/analysts. Other seek entrepreneurial role in the computer world as independent business owners, software authors, consultants, or suppliers of systems and equipment. Career opportunities exist in such areas as management software and hardware sales, technical writing, training others on computer, consulting, software development and technical support.
