Overview

Computers have become a ubiquitous part of modern life, and new applications are introduced every day. The use of computer technologies is also commonplace in all types of organizations, in academia, research, industry, government, private, and business organizations. As computers become even more pervasive, the potential for computer-related careers will continue to grow and the career paths in computer-related fields will become more diverse. Since 2001, global Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become more powerful, more accessible, and more widespread. They are now pivotal in enhancing competitiveness, enabling development, and bringing progress to all levels of society.

The career opportunities for Master of Computer Applications graduates are plenty and growing. Programming and software development, information systems operation and management, telecommunications and networking, computer science research, web and Internet, graphics and multimedia, training and support, and computer industry specialists are some of the opportunities the graduates find.

The School of Computer Science and Applications at REVA UNIVERSITY offers a Master of Computer Applications (MCA), a postgraduate programme to create motivated, innovative, creative, and thinking graduates to fill the roles of software Engineers who can conceptualize, design, analyze and develop computer software to meet the modern-day industry requirements.

The programme is designed to meet the growing demand for qualified professionals in the field of Computer Applications. The MCA programme is inclined more towards application development and thus has more emphasis on the latest programming languages and tools to develop better and faster applications. It covers various aspects of computational theory, network and database management, mobile technologies, electronics, mathematics, probability, statistics, etc. The programme also deals with operation research, user interface design, M-commerce, e-commerce, the internet of things, mobile computing, software testing and quality assurance, big data analytics, and many such areas intended to meet IT industry requirements.
