A number of affiliated colleges/Univ depts across the country closed the MCA dept , due to poor admissions,some of the reasons being:
1. As per UGC regulations, it is a 3 year PG program (perhaps the only PG prog with 3 yrs duration).
When the prog was started in early nineties, it was ok, Now a lot of IT is covered in Schools/intermediate/degree programs,most of which is repeated in first year of MCA.
2.Curriculum is focused only on IT applications ( hardware is not covered like in BTech-CSE) and is obsolete.
3. Employment : A BTech(CSE) or BTech(IT) (after studying for 4 yrs) gets a better job than an MCA ( who studies for 6 years)
An MCA program,with 2 years duration,with re-engineered curriculum can get better response from students and employers.

MCA program was the brain child of our former Prime Minster [L] Rajiv Gandhi. The program was doing very well since then. During last few years many states have stopped the program.
