Students belonging to the 2019 batch of the three-year Master of Computer Application (MCA) course in the University of Calicut are concerned about the delay in completion of their course.
The results of their fourth semester exams are yet to be out. Dates for fifth semester exams have not been decided and they have no idea about the academic project to be completed in the sixth semester.
The university runs 12 Centres for Computer Science and Information Technology in various districts that offer the three-year MCA course, a postgraduate programme in Computer Science, and an undergraduate programme in Information Technology. There are at least 30 students in each MCA batch. The 2019 batch is the last one to have a three-year course, with the University Grants Commission reducing its duration to two years from 2020.
