Bachelor of Computer Applications
Three-year computer applications degree — a shorter route into software roles.
BCA covers programming, databases, web and mobile development, networking and software engineering. It is a lighter entry than B.Tech and finishes a year earlier, and most students follow it with an MCA or a professional certification.
We recommend colleges based on their lab infrastructure, the currency of the syllabus and whether the placement cell actually brings software recruiters to campus.
