IGNOU MCA, Masters in Computer Application
IGNOU's Master of Computer Applications Programme is a 3-year
programme. The broad objective of the MCA programme is to prepare
graduate students for productive careers in software industry
and academia by providing an outstanding environment for teaching
and research in the core and emerging areas of the discipline.
The programme's thrust is on giving the students a thorough and
sound background in theoretical and application-oriented courses
relevant to the latest computer software development. The programme
emphasizes the application of software technology to solve mathematical,
computing, communications / networking and commercial problems.
MCA programme consists of 31 courses worth 108 credits.
