Master of Computer Application

MCA (Master of Computer Applications) course is a 2-year postgraduate degree course that imparts theory and practical knowledge on the various aspects of computer applications as per the demands of industry needs. This course will be a job oriented course. After this program, the students will have the right skills, knowledge and qualifications for a successful career in the Information Technology Industry as a developer, researcher and academician.

Program Objectives:

The objective of MCA (Masters of Computer Application) program is to give a comprehensive training to postgraduate students to empower them with the knowledge of as per the selected specialization in phase with rapidly changing technology and supply the demands of the industry needs with required skill sets. Those who pursue the Master’s programs gain expert level knowledge in their field.

MCA (Masters of Computer Application) provides; both conventional and innovative approaches to resolve the real world societal problems with the help of Artificial Intelligence and Data science and Cyber Security.

In the initial three semesters; we intend to explore them with a deeper understanding of recent trend courses along with hands-on practice.

Unique Features:

Learning by doing:The students acquire knowledge through participation in the laboratories for individual bench-work, classroom exercises, group discussion, project based learning, critical reading and analysis of real world problems using recent trends and technologies.
Four tracks or specializations:We offer two tracks as specializations (AI-DS and Cyber Security) for the MCA program. Both tracks are industry driven job oriented courses and are highly in demand.
Project based learning:Students have to identify societal problems, they have to design and develop computer based application solutions. This will help students to demonstrate practical hands-on knowledge.
Industrial Internship:Students have to undergo a summer industrial internship after the first year, where they need to showcase and update their practical skill sets to know more happening in the IT sector. This internship needs to be carried out at industry / Government R&D lab’s.DYPSST will provide an assistantship to carry out the summer internship for eligible students.
