With the boom in the computer software industry, demand for computer professionals has increased manifold. People in software tell of fabulous success stories, as firms have been poaching on each other's professionals, offering tremendous salaries. There is great demand abroad too, and many software professionals have been sent abroad, earning phenomenal amounts.

One of the careers which has gained importance in the last few years is the Master of Computer Applications (MCA). All over India there is a craze to get into them, the demand being fuelled by the phenomenal growth of the software industry. An MCA by virtue of possessing a wide, comprehensive knowledge of data base management systems, a thorough know-how of computers, System Science, information Processing, can serve any kind of software environment and also any level in the hierarchy ranging from a programmer, to a project leader, to a software consultant as per varying and alleviating experience.

JUST one year ago, lay-offs and retrenchment had become the buzzwords for the Indian software profes­sionals and the domestic in­formation technology (IT) industry was down in the dumps following 9/11 attacks.

But the last two years have changed all that. The IT industry finally seems to be getting back on its feet as the business looks up, and hiring by these companies is back in fashion. According to a study, hiring of professionals in In­dia's top eight hardcore IT companies has gone up by 40 per cent during the last quarter of 2005 (September-December) compared to the same period in 2004.

One must be a graduate and should have studied a subject out of Mathematics/ Statistics at the Graduate level. Mathematics is also needed as a compulsory subject in 10+2 level. There is some inconsistency in the eligibility parameters as different universities have laid different parameters for the same.
