The student of MCA require 4 hours of
terminal time everyday. Taking and annual intake
of 30, the total hours of terminal time required
everyday for each of the above programme is 360
hrs. day. |
| |
Assuming computer laboratory is
open for 14 hours, actual working hours
(excluding classes, tutorials etc.) = 12
hrs. |
| |
Number of computer terminal
required = 30/12=30 |
| |
Taking into consideration
terminal for monitoring, breakdown etc.
additional terminals required=10 |
| |
Hence, total number minimally
required to offer MCA in Computer Programme is
as follows: |
| |
| 1. |
Unix based system with
adequate configuration such as 486DX with 32 MB
RAM, 500 MB HDD, 5.52"/3.5" FDD, SVGA monitor
and associated subsystems-4
number. |
| 2. |
DOS and Windows based
workstations with adequate configuration such as
386DX / 486SX with 8 MB RAM, 200 MB HDD,
5.35"3.5" FDD, SVGA monitor & associated
subsystem - 36 numbers |
| 3. |
Language Processors for
Fortran, COBOL, Pascal, C, C++ Object Oriented
language, Visual Basic, Prolog, Lisp.
| |
| |
All the above systems should
be connected in a LAN configuration in a
client-Server Architecture with UNIX system as
the server. For this, all the systems should
have appropriate hardware/software.
|
| |
| 1. |
DOS 6.2 or above
WINDOWS
3.1 or above
UNIX SVR 4.2 or above, or
equivalent product
LAN software to achieve
connectivity. |
| 2. |
Language processor for
FORTRAN, PASCAL, 'C', COBOL Object oriented
language, Visual Basic, PROLOG,
LISP. |
| 3. |
DBMS and one
RDBMS. |
| 4. |
Graphics languages and application
packages. |
| 5. |
Scientific and statistical
packages. |
| 6. |
Software tools (CASE tools (basic), GUI
tools, Testing
tools). | |
| |
Sufficient number of printers shall be
provided with combination of Dot Matrix Printer,
Laser Printer, Plotter and Ink Jet
Printer. |
| |
Note: |
| |
| 1. |
Above specifications are
subject to change as the technology change in
computers is very
fast. | | |
| |

Computer Lab |
| |
|
| |
Building space requirement can be planned in
accordance with the specification of
configuration as mentioned above with a hall to
house 40 terminal and printers. It is suggested
that there may be separate room for graphics,
DTP etc. The space requirement may be around 150
Sq.m. | |

The minimum and desirable norms for the
initial stock of books, yearly addition of books
and the number of journals to be subscribed are

Building and Space
Requirement |
| |
|
| |
The details of the minimum standards of
physical infrastructure in terms of building
space are given in Annexure III, if the MCA
programme is approved in a college affiliated to
university. Normally, norms for building and
space requirement shall be in accordance with as
applicable to the University department running
MCA. | |
| |
| 6.5 |
Teaching Aids |
| |
|
| |
The computer programme, being a professional
course with significant management application
component, will require presentation and
discussion of case studies in the class room.
This can be greatly facilitated by the use of
overhead projector and video. Thus a Institute /
College shall have the following teaching aids
exclusively for computer programmes. Overhead
projector one for each lecture class room, VCR,
TV and Education Programme
cassettes. | | |
