The question touches upon an important issue in the education system, particularly in India. The distinction between various master's programs in Computer Science disciplines like Master of Computer Application (MCA), Master of Technology (M.Tech), and Master of Engineering (M.E), and the differences in their recognition and acceptance in academic and professional spheres, is a topic of concern for many. The perception of these degrees and their applicability in different job roles can vary widely, leading to questions about fairness and equality.
I am making one video on this issue. If you think the video needs correction and improvement, and you want to give suggestions, this is the right place.

Possible factors could include historical practices, industry demands, or specific skill sets associated with different degrees. So, the question is, "Why there is discrimination between these programs?"
Dear Vanlalruata Hnamte ,
While computer science and computer engineering sound similar and some duties and responsibilities may only overlap, there is a key difference: Computer science focuses primarily on computer theory and software, while computer engineering focuses on computer design and hardware. A career in computer science or computer engineering can be rewarding. Find out what sets these two professions apart, the educational requirements, jobs you can get in each field, the job outlook, and potential salaries.

Thank you, Vanlalruata Hnamte for such a nice discussion.
Somehow MCA is neglected as compared to other master's or engineering programs, but recently some modifications have been made by UGC, which is attached here.
Thank you for sharing the notification. Once again, I think this notice is given by the AICTE themself.
ME/MTech/MCA are all under the Engineering and Technology, but there is some how odd one out during recruitments, and sometime, private universities offers MCA with very minimal syllabus compare to M.Tech (CSE).
However, there are universities which offers a great syllabus for MCA program.
Whereas, NIT and IIT aren't offering MCA program as far as my knowledge...but other universities.
So, if AICTE is seeing over the NITs and IITs only, then, they might need to consider some changes.
Yes Dr. absolutely, your thought is very acceptable in the case of background qualifications and priorities of teaching in comparison with engineering and mastering studies.
