MCA Programme

    The 3 year programme is made up of 6 semesters each of about 6 months duration. The class room lectures focus on theoretical concepts.

    Other participative methods of learning include seminars, panel discussions, demoplates, group exercises, assignments, short-term projects and industry interfaces. The practical component of the course is provided by hands on training in various platforms at the computer lab.

    The courses are designed to provide more than adequate knowledge about the fundamentals of computer hardware and software during the first two semesters. The next three semesters focus on different application areas. The final semester involves placement in an organization for a period of 6 months to undertake and execute a project. The programme focuses on areas of concern in information technology for the millennium.

Summer Project

 

     Students undertake two mini-projects each spanning a period of 4-6 weeks, during the summer vacation. The objective of the project work is to transfer acquired knowledge and skills to real world situations. Students on completion of the project submit a project report to the training organization and also make a presentation to the academic community.

Major Project


     The entire sixth semester is devoted to the execution of a project in an organization, spanning 6 months.
     This is intended to be an integrative capstone course, to sharpen the analytical, conceptual and managerial skills and to help in executing real-time projects. This activity also provides an opportunity to plan for a career. The project is evaluated both by the organization and the academic community for grades.

 

Special Training


     TSM organizes Guest Lectures and Special Training programs every week using visiting professionals and also internal faculty, to focus on areas that extend beyond the prescribed syllabus. We are guided by a consultant of international repute.
