Master in Computer Applications

The Master in Computer Applications (MCA) program prepares students to design and develop applications like information systems and web and mobile applications to analyze and solve computer science and information processing-related problems.

Core courses are programming languages, databases, and software engineering. Specializations are available in machine learning, soft computing, and the internet of things. You will learn the latest information technology tools like OOPs using Java and data analytics.

Project-based study help students develop competencies in a broad spectrum of topics in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, internet of things, natural language processing, cloud computing, data mining, text mining, client-server application, web and mobile applications, cryptography, social network, software engineering, and wireless sensor networks.

Postgraduate programs at Silicon are designed and intended to provide deeper knowledge and insight into the specific field of study. However, Silicon encourages students to undertake interdisciplinary projects. It supports research and practice in such an initiative by assigning additional project guides from other departments to mentor the students.

Silicon has been a great contributor in developing my career. I have honed my team skills, responsibility, and time management to a whole new level. In those three years, I received a lot of help from subject teachers, even when they were not assigned to teach our batch. Their teaching skills were excellent. Apart from that, I learned professionalism and the hunger to achieve more. Overall, it was an exciting and challenging journey for me at the campus.
