Re: [MTC Global] MCA Program--Present & Future

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2.Curriculum is focused only on IT applications ( hardware is not covered like in  BTech-CSE) and is obsolete.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. Faculty are really worried in the existing MCA Departments.

Many affiliated colleges also have closed the MCA Department similar like Bio-Technology [most of the engineering colleges have closed this department].
