HoD’S MESSAGE
Dr. Sudheer Sankara Marar
Professor & HOD - MCA
Coaching students to apply knowledge and skills is one exceptionally high impact method to foster their capabilities across all scholarly disciplines.
Applying that knowledge is Power.
Understanding situations of Applications is the real wisdom..!”
( Takeda Shingen, Japanese Military leader and Warlord )
Applications play a vital role in all Computer domains as it is an end-user program that enables the users to do many things in an Information system. These applications form the core of any Computer based modus operandi systems.
Today in digital era, We live in a world of diversified apps..! Lifestyle apps, Social apps, Entertainment apps, Communication apps, Governance apps.. At this point, applications are an integral part of our daily lives; even businesses that never would’ve needed apps in the past, are now rapidly getting into the game. Applications which allow performing explicit tasks are available for PCs, Mobile devices & Media platforms.
The notion that ‘technology is the application of science’, reasons the precise selection of appropriate knowledge, the adoption of various criteria and the re-shaping of knowledge to make it acquiescent to the technologist.
In this context, Application oriented PG programs like MCA becomes more significant and practical. Master of Computer Applications programme is a perfect blend of intensive theory and practical work, which enables the students to get familiar with the updated Computational conventions using latest programming methodologies and large number of Applications. Recently during the Covid19 period, we have been witnessing the prominent role that the IT is providing to almost all domains, be it business, education or governance.. This has undoubtfully boosted the very demand of Computer Application Professionals; and NCERC-MCA is all set to deliver that breed of specialists.
