[M.C.M. Part I From Academic Year 2005-2006,
M.C.M. Part II From Academic Year 2006-2007]
ObjectivesThe name of the programme shall be Master's Degree in Computer Management (M.C.M.)
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 services. The basic objective of the Masters’ Degree in Computer Management (M.C.M.) is to provide to the country a steady stream of competent young men and women with the necessary knowledge, skills and foundations for acquiring a wide range of rewarding careers into the rapidly expanding world of Information Technology.
a. The first two semesters of the programme is a mix of computer-related and general business courses. The computer-related courses use computers to introduce standard techniques of programming; the use of software packages, systems analysis and design. The general business courses include the functional areas of management like the study of marketing management, financial management, operations management and general management. The course would emphasize the study and creation of business applications, rather than mere programming. Considering the current environment, fundamental concepts related to web-based applications are introduced.
In semesters III and IV, students are exposed to system development in the information processing environment, with special emphasis on Management Information Systems and Computer Resource Management .
The new curriculum would focus on imparting skills, necessary for developing a career in the field of business applications of computers in the emerging global scenario, which emphasizes e-business in all sectors of the economy.
The Job Opportunities
Many graduates begin their careers as junior programmers and, after some experience are promoted to senior programmers', systems analysts', programmer/analysts', software tester’s posts. Others seek entrepreneurial roles 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 computers, consulting, software development and technical support.
Application areas include transaction processing (such as order processing, airline, railway reservations, banking systems), accounting functions , sales analysis, games, forecasting and simulation, database management, decision support data communications, and e-commerce.
The institutes should provide support placement program for the students by interacting with the industries and software consultants in and around the region in which the educational institution is located.
Duration
The M.C.M. program will be two years Full Time Master’s Degree in Computer Management.
Intake
In each class, not more than 60 students will be admitted.
ELIGIBILITY FOR ADMISSION
Graduates of any faculty from any statutory University shall be eligible for admission to the M.C.M. course.
NUMBER OF LECTURES AND PRACTICALS
Lectures and practicals should be conducted as per the scheme of lectures and practicals prescribed in the structure.
PRACTICAL TRAINING AND PROJECT WORK
Towards the end of the second year of study, a student will be examined in the course Project Work.
Project Work may be done individually or in groups in case of bigger projects. However if the project is done in groups, each student must be given a responsibility for a distinct module and care should be taken to monitor the progress of individual students.
Student should take guidance from an internal guide and prepare a Project report on Project Work in 2 copies to be submitted to the Director of the Institute by 1st March. Wherever possible, a separate file containing source-code listings should also be submitted.
The Project Work should be of such a nature that it would prove useful or be relevant from the commercial / management angle.
The project report will be duly assessed by the Internal project guide and marks will be communicated by the Director to the University after receiving the Seat numbers from the University along with marks of the internal credit for theory and practicals to be communicated for all other courses.
The project report should be prepared in a format prescribed by the University, which also specifies the contents and the method of presentation.
The project work will carry 60 marks for Internal assessment and 140 marks for external viva. The external viva shall be conducted by a minimum of two external examiners.
Project Work can be carried out in the Institute or outside with prior permission of the Institute.
The external viva-voce examination for Project Work would be held in March/April of the second year of study, by a panel of two external examiners.
ASSESSMENT
The final total assessment of the candidates is made in terms of an Internal assessment and an external assessment for each course.
For each paper, 30% marks will be based on internal assessment and 70% marks for semester end examination (external assessment), unless otherwise stated.
The division of the 30% marks allotted to internal assessment of theory papers is on the basis of tutorial work and written test of 15 marks, seminars and presentations 10 marks and attendance 5 marks.
The internal marks will be communicated to the University at the end of each semester, but before the semester end examinations. These marks will be considered for the declaration of the results.
EXAMINATION
Examinations shall be conducted at the end of each semester i.e. during April/May and also in October/November.
STANDARD OF PASSING
Every candidate must secure 40% marks in each head of passing.
The passing marks for external examination will thus be 28 out of 70 and for internal examination 12 out of 30 and aggregate marks taking both together will be 40 marks.
Reassessment of Internal marks:
In case of those students who have secured less than passing percentage of marks in internal i.e. less than 40%, the institute will administer a separate internal test. The results of which may be conveyed to the University as the Revised Internal Marks.
In case the result of the internal test as above, results in lower marks than the original, the original figure of the marks will prevail. In short, the rule is higher of the two figures of the marks.
However, the institute will not administer any internal test, for any subject for those candidates who have already scored 40% or more marks in the internal examination.
BACKLOG
Two semesters backlog can be carried to the third semester.
CLASS
There shall be numerical marking for each question. At the time of declaration of the result, the marks obtained by a candidate are converted into classes as shown below:
The class will be awarded on the basis of aggregate marks scored by the student (i.e. out of 2200), provided he/she has passed in both the internal/external examinations of all the subjects in M.C.M. Part I and Part II.
