Master of Computer Applications
The Master of Computer Applications (MCA) is a postgraduate degree in computer application streams awarded in India. Full time MCA programmes normally take three academic years.[citation needed] The primary emphasis in MCA curriculum is on the development of diverse types of application software rather than designing computer hardware and systems software. More than one thousand institutions provide MCA courses in India with an annual intake of more than 55000 students.[citation needed]

Entrance into an MCA programme requires a bachelors degree from any field of computer science such as a BCA (Bachelor in Computer Application). The course of study covers a variety of topics in the computer programming and designing fields, and can prepare people for a wide variety of computer science related professions.
