• Program Type: The Master of Computer Applications (MCA) is typically a two-year postgraduate degree program.
• Eligibility: Generally, a candidate needs a Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks and must have studied Mathematics as a subject at the 10+2 level or during their graduation.
• Admission Process: Admissions are usually based on scores from national or state-level entrance exams, followed by a counseling or interview process. 

• GIBS Business School: GIBS Business School focuses primarily on BBA, MBA, and PGDM programs and does not list an MCA programme among its main offerings.
• Dnyaan Prasad Global University (DPGU) School of Pharmacy and Research: DPGU does offer an MCA program, and admissions for the 2025-2026 session are currently ongoing. They accept scores from exams like MAH MCA CET and PERA CET.
• Other Maharashtra Colleges: Top colleges in Maharashtra like the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), and Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) offer MCA programs, with admissions largely dependent on the MAH MCA CET exam results and subsequent counseling.

At IILM University, Gurugram, networking opportunities for students are embedded throughout the academic and co-curricular journey — here's how:

• The university maintains a global alumni network of over 16,000 members, which students can tap into for mentorship, referrals, and industry insights. 

• It hosts regular guest lectures, workshops, and round tables with domain experts, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders — offering students direct exposure and chances to engage in meaningful conversations beyond class.

• Through industry partnerships and live projects, students work alongside companies, which naturally creates contacts with professionals who can become part of their network. 
  
  Student clubs and incubator initiatives provide informal but powerful networking platforms — for example, the university's Innovation Lab connects students with mentors, startup founders, and ecosystem enablers.

• Optional courses and workshops: DPGU might offer specific workshops or short-term certificate courses on relevant software tools.
• Postgraduate specializations: M.Pharm or Ph.D. programs often integrate advanced computational tools for drug design and analysis.
• Self-learning or external courses: Many students and professionals in the field learn languages like Python or R independently to enhance their career prospects in pharmaceutical data science.
