Is it possible to capture last login of a user to the particular application

You have the "login-audit.csv" log but this is a log of logins to the environment, not a specific application. Assuming your users are being directed to a specific Appian Site (which conceptually maps to a given application) then there is the "sites_usage.csv" log. If your Site has the equivalent of a :"Home" page - i.e. the default tab that a User is landed on when they sign in - then this could be used as a proxy for what you're looking for,

So as I said there's no OOTB capability as, by definition, Appian cannot know what Applications you may or may not create, or know how you've defined your Business Application since a Business Application might be composed of 1 or > 1 Appian Application package!

You can create audit events in the "moving parts" of your Application (i.e. Process Models). And there are OOTB logs for when someone accesses an Appian Record. For both of these you would have to implement your own design to expose what you deem to be important.

I understand what you're asking for but I'm trying to understand WHY you need that information, what it will be used for and what value it actually provides? To me it doesn't really tell you anything meaningful. So I logged into Application A - so what?! Why does that matter?

Consider an example User " A " has access to two application App1 and App2 but i want to capture whether user has logged into App1 and whens the last time he logged into App1

AFAIK there's no out-of-the-box means to capture this. You'd have to define what "access to a particular application" might actually mean. Do you care that they logged, landed on whatever is the defined landing page, didn't do anything and then logged out again? Or is it that you need to know they conducted a specific transaction? Or that they looked at a specific record? In effect you need to define what audit events you want to record (and why), who you want to give access to view those audit events, and how long you want to keep them for and them implement a design to meet those requirements. Just like any feature.
