Seeing the mobile penetration in our country and increasing use of mobile data it makes sense to go for learning mobile application creation and getting a feel of this niche area. Today people are using mobile for all types of tasks and all the companies, organisations are getting mobile apps for their product and services so that the customer can access them through the mobile itself. So, it is clear that this area has tremendous potential and students who have completed their 10+2 can try to sharpen their wits in this arena. Another thing is that the advertisements are now directed towards the mobile device and digital marketing is picking up fast everywhere. So, revenue generation by advertisements is now channelled to these handheld devices and slowly the volume of such transactions is increasing.
