About Department

To bridge the wide chasm between Computer theory and applications, Siddaganga Educational Society started MCA program in the year 1994 with an intake of 30 students. The program became autonomous during 2008. It is affiliated to Visvesvaraya technological University and approved by All India Council for technical Education. The main focus of the program is the application of software technology to solve business problems. The programme offers a number of in-depth, application-oriented subjects.

It covers the methodology to develop an error free software product efficiently, and to maintain software products, that utilize networking technology, that integrate multiple technologies and other important software applications.

The regular curriculum is supplemented by additional inputs to keep abreast of the changing scenario in the IT industry. In addition to the curriculum, the periodic seminars from experts in the industry as well as academia. Students of MCA are being consistently encouraged to perform self learning related activities through mini project works and student seminars. Apart from this students are guided to hone their writing skills through Departmental News Letter Info-vista. Intra-departmental contests are regularly held to enable the students to sharpen their skills . In response to the ever-changing needs of the IT industries, students of MCA are getting soft skills training at various levels.

The campus placement for MCA has been good. Almost 90% of the eligible MCA students get placed in campus recruitments. Some of the companies that offered placements to MCA students are TCS, Infosys, Wipro Accenture, Aricent, HP India Software Operations, Siemens Public Communications Networks Ltd, etc. Alumni of the department are well placed in leading national and multinational companies, proving their mettle in both system and application areas. The department of MCA, SIT, aims at providing computer professionals with opportunities to pursue in-depth studies in software technology. The department is creating a synergy between computer education and the demands of IT industry.
