Technology (BIT), Mesra, has
come up with a five-year
integrated course ofmaster of
business administration (MBA)
and master of computer
application (MCA) for the Class XII
pass-outs this year, giving them
an opportunity to take admission
to the courses apart from joining
medical, engineering and law
stream.
Admission for the current
academic session is almost
complete and both the courses
have been introduced for
2011-2016 session.
Students will be selected for the
MCA programme on the basis of
rank obtained in theAll India
Engineering Entrance
examination( AIEEE), whereas
direct admission can be sought
for MBA based on marks
obtained in the Plus Two final.
Addressing a press conference
here on Tuesday, BIT Mesra vice-
chancellor Ajay Chakravorty said
the integrated 5-year MCA and
MBA programmes were
conceived by the institution
keeping under consideration the
requirement and demand of
industry for perfectly groomed
managerial talent in the country.
"The integrated MCA programme
seeks to meet the increased
demand for high-end manpower
for the ever-growing IT sector
for which India boasts of having
world's largest and most
qualified pool of scientific and
engineering manpower," he said
adding that the programme
sought to instill a problem-
solving approach in students
towards the fast evolving field of
computer application.
On the benefits of integrated
course, Chakravorty said it saved
the students one year while
providing the same value-added
inputs in computer application
and they (students) did not have
to re-appear in an entrance
examination for MCA. "Once a
student after passing out from
Plus Two course decides to join
MCA, he or she can straight way
join the integrated course and
avoid cut-throat competition that
comes on their way during
admission to MCA. At the same
time, they can complete the
course in five years instead of
investing 3 years in graduation
followed by 3-year
postgraduation in MCA," he said.
Assuring the students of good
placement, the VC said most of
the leading IT-services
companies like TCS, Cognizant,
Infosys, Wipro,IBM and
Accenture which had
participated in campus selection
were likely to give more
importance to the students
taking up integrated course in
the wake of the design of
curriculum that suits industrial
requirements. Integrated
management course has opened
doors for the students to seek
direct admission to masters
programme.
