It is going to be the fulfilment of much-awaited with the crucial policy decision to make Master of Computer Applications / MCA course of two years duration. As per the article in TOI, MCA is going to be of two years duration from the academic year 2020. Well, this decision of AICTE is to be congratulated. As, most of the students who seeks admission to MCA course are from either Computer Science / Computer Application / Science background with enough computer courses in CBCS pattern course structure so that there will be no problem if the duration of MCA is trimmed to be of two years and the parity with other Master Degree courses duration are maintained.
Earlier, students with Computer Science / Computer Application had the opportunity to take admission in second year of the MCA course as lateral entry students. But this facility was not available in some of the states such as West Bengal. So, the students will get benefit in terms of reduced total course fees, one year great savings of worthy time. Now, there will be competitions among the two courses: M. Sc. Computer Science / IT and MCA to attract students.
AICTE has put the notice dated 03.07.2020 officially in its website regarding this change.
