Master
of Computer Applications (MCA) is a Three-Year
Six-Semester Post-Graduate Program affiliated
to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU),
Belgaum, and Karnataka, India and approved by
All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE),
New Delhi. The objective of this program is to
produce IT professionals who excel in the field
of computer applications development and are sought
after by different sectors of industry, business,
government, etc.
The Department of Computer Applications, which
was started in the academic year 2001-02, has
excellent infrastructure in terms of digital classrooms,
a dedicated MCA Library and a centrally air-conditioned
& networked computer laboratory.
The class room lectures are enriched by special
talks on subjects of topical interest by experts
from the IT industry, R&D establishments and
academic institutions of repute. The corporate
standard of the computer laboratory has to be
seen to be believed. Every student gets a computer
to himself/herself in the Lab.
In addition to the academic and curricular activities,
the students of this department are encouraged
to actively participate in co-curricular and extra-curricular
activities. The department conducts a national
level inter-collegiate festival - Magnetics, which
provides a platform to our students to interact
with students of other colleges.
Special Personality Development Programs, which
also include soft-skill development, are organized
for the benefit of our students to successfully
face placement interviews and also the world after
their academic life. It is no wonder that our
students are getting picked up by renowned IT
companies like, MicroSoft, IBM, INFOSYS, WIPRO,
HP, DELL, ACCENTURE, SATYAM, NOVELLUS, etc. in
the campus selection.
The Department is headed by Prof. SM Sharma, Ph.D.
