Computer Application is a study and practice area in the field of computing and information technology. It is purely dealing with the application of computing and software systems as a concentration. During the late 1980s, computers became available worldwide and many universities started offering the Information Technology program as a branch of study. Gradually other concentrations also came up viz. Information Systems, Information Technology Management, Information Systems and Management, Knowledge Engineering, etc. It is worthy to note that these fields were started in major western and developed countries. However, in India, as an applied branch of study, major universities introduced ‘Computer Application’ other than ‘Computer Science’. A majority of universities have started programming and software technology-focused MCA (Masters of Computer Application). Most of the top tier institutes in the country now offer this Masters’s program to the candidates. Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University was established in the year 2013 in Gurugram district, Haryana. Registrations for the SGT University Admission 2020 can be done through the application forms floated on the university website.
How to Join MCA?

A candidate is also eligible if he/she had graduated with mathematics as a subject in the higher secondary (10+2) level. Lateral entry is also possible for a BCA graduate. The candidates should fill in the application forms and submit them along with the application fee through the SGT University Admission 2020 portal.
The Benefits of MCA
The MCA program prepares students to take up key positions in the IT industry such as systems designers, analysts, programmers, and managers.
