Program Overview

The department of MCA was established in the year 2000. MCA is offered as a two-year program with a current intake of 120. The program is approved by AICTE and is autonomous under the affiliation of Bangalore University. The course is intended to produce qualified professionals well-equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the growing demand in Computer Science and Applications. The course emphasizes programming languages, web technologies, software engineering, and application development requisites to fulfil the IT requirements. Also, the department provides specialization courses on Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning for the students to learn and equip the knowledge on current trends in the respective fields. In contrast, the essence of basic mathematics, statistical concepts, and computer fundamentals provide a vital foundation. Introducing practical teaching aids to enhance every aspirant’s ability to identify, analyze, model, and solve a problem through computation has been the primary objective of this course.In addition, the department offers various cutting-edge technologies like add-on courses, weekly IT-club activities, pre-placement training and personality development workshops from industry experts to the student community. The MCA program has been designed to give equal stress on theoretical and practical learning in applied computer science. It is envisioned to deliver an updated industry-oriented education to meet the expectations of the leading corporations of Silicon Valley. The department of MCA has secured eight university ranks and three gold medals.
