Summary:
MCA offered by Bharathidasan University and Annamalai university have been deemed not equivalent to MSc Computer Science. “Though I did MCA, we were considered students of MSc Computer Science itself. We have asked colleges to issue letter of equivalence to students before they join such course,” added the official. But thousands of students who wish to get into the government sector especially as a teacher will be affected,” said a senior faculty from Bharathidasan University. Trichy: A government order declaring 33 professional postgraduate courses in various arts and science colleges and state-run universities non-equivalent to conventional courses will make thousands of students ineligible to apply for government jobs.A rough estimate of the number of students taking up such professional courses would easily exceed 20,000 in the state, according to sources in Bharathidasan university..
