The M.C.A Department started functioning in the year 2006 with a sanctionedstrength of sixty students for its postgraduate program .The department remains committed towards its goal of producing not only industry ready professionals, but also to provide the right ambience and infrastructure for those interested in pursuing their interest in Computers and related fields.

Master of Computer Applications programme is a three-year course of intensive theory and practical work. It is spread over a period of six semesters which enables the candidates to get familiar with the usage of computer using at-least five latest programming languages and a large number of applications. The course also develops the student’s capabilities in preparation of system software. The students undergo mid-term projects in industrial organizations. The placement cell helps the students in finding suitable placements. During the 6th semester, students generally go to the industries and implement a real time project which is directly useful to the organization concerned.

The course gives an opportunity to the students of related technical fields to switch over to the vast field of computer science and integrated multidisciplinary program with innovative teaching methods to enhance analytic and problem solving skills ,personality development module to tap the full potential of the students by improving time and self management communication skills ,team spirit ,confidence and carrier building attitude.

Objectives :::.

• To impart basic understanding of concepts, strategies, tools and techniques of information technology.
• To provide a strong foundation in all technical aspects of computers and their applications.
• To develop communication and soft skills necessary for contemporary IT professionals.
• To give hands on experience in IT application in industry through projects on computer application software.
