    Dear Omkar. Theoretically it is possible to pursue two degree simultaneously. However, it may be practically very difficult (pherpes impossible) to do your best in both these two.

    BCA and MBA are totally different fields. MCA is totally computer and software oriented field where as MBA is management and business oriented field. If you already do BBA then MBA will be helpful for you. Or if you do BCA then MCA is helpful for you. But after completing BCA if you don't want to continue the stream, if you like accounting then you can change your stream. The college will approve you for the same.

    Hello,It is not at all a good option to pursue a technical and management field simultaneously. Be clear of where you want to flourish your career. MCA programme will upgrade your technical knowledge and provide a detailed study of what you have learnt in Bachelors programme. In the corporate sector it can provide you till managerial role, not much. But if you are inclined towards management, have inclination towards decision making, strategic planning then MBA is a good choice. So, decide accordingly based on your interests and vision for the future.

    Both the courses are full time post graduate courses, so you will not be bae to pursue then together. It is advisable to maintain focus and complete one of the courses, and then take a call on pursing the other courses. The decision here should be based on your interest areas and career aspirations. In case you intend to pursue a career in Technical / research / academics area then MCA/ M.Sc. ( IT) is better. However, if you want to move into general management the MBA is better.

    It is true that both MBA and MCA are good course are in huge demand now a days but it is rule that you can not enroll yourself for two courses at a time. It is not at all possible. If somehow you do that then also one at a time will be considered valid. So, choose any one course.
