Master of Computer Applications (MCA) is a two-year professional Master’s Degree in Computer Application. It is designed to meet the increasing demand for professionals in the field of Information Technology. This program is inclined more towards Application Development and thus has more emphasis on latest programming language and tools to develop better and faster applications. An MCA program curriculum builds right platform for students to become successful Software professional. This would emphasize on domain knowledge of various areas, 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. This program prepares students to take up positions as system analysts, systems designers, Programmers and managers in any field related to Information Technology. The program, therefore, aims at imparting comprehensive knowledge with equal emphasis on theory and practice. Program Objective To enrich the knowledge of the students to design a computing system so as to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as applicability, compatibility and security. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, Computer Applications and management in regular practice. To integrate and apply efficiently the contemporary IT tools to all computer applications. To create and design innovative methodologies to solve complex problems for the betterment of the society at a global level. Program Highlights The MCA 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, spreadsheets and databases; system analysis and design Tools. The general business courses include the functional areas of management like accounting, sales, purchase, inventory, and production. The course would emphasise the study and creation of business applications, rather than more programming Inclusion of projects in each semester improves student’s technical orientation, understanding of IT environment and domain knowledge. A well rounded learning approach at MIT-WPU further ensures that MCA graduates develop professional finesse along with complete technology knowledge.
