Computer Application is a study and research areas of applied nature. Before the development of domain Computer Application, the main popular and available subjects was Computer Science as far as Indian context is concerned. Although internationally as an applied branch Information Technology has emerged. In education and training segment during the eighties (1980’s) some of the Indian universities moved to offer ‘Computer
Application’ as an applied computing related branch as an alternative of substitute Computer Science (which was traditional, theoretical and mathematical) and initially Masters program has been started for diverse graduate with some logical/ quantitative skills. Gradually the same branch has been started in Bachelors level as well. Hence this paper is conceptual in nature and deals with the educational affairs of computing and information technology related field as far as India is concerned. This paper is highlights various emerging changes of Computer Application in this regard with reference to job potentialities and attempts to showcase the current situation in private universities in India with reference to Computer Applications (Bachelors) programs. Traditionally it is a common myth among a percentage of stakeholders that Computer Application is a program with Application concentration rather scientific and theoretical base. However, this paper tries to explore the future concept and dealing of Computer Application and allied fields in future.
