 Program Outcome:
MCA program is a professional program. It is a technical course. The program is aimed to
design in such a way that the students can be absorbed directly in the industries. During their
studies, students has to go through a variety of subjects which are directly or indirectly useful
in the industry. They have to go through a lot of practical work as well as project work. In the
last semester they have to go to the industry for their project work and they have to work as
per the requirement of the industry. Hence the program outcome is more job oriented.

Some of the students starts their own development and turns into a small software
development industries. So the course is more focus on “Atma nirbhar”.

 Program Specific Outcome

During the MCA course, students have to go through a variety of subjects, i.e. computer
fundamentals, programming, and many more. The students are developed in such a way that
they are able to work in area where computer works as a tool. They can do analysis, design
development and implementation of the work, which help the students in their development
and also useful to the society.
