Can I know how can a BCA student become better than an Engineer?

Dear Aspirant, A student who has a slight interest in technical and IT areas is confused about what to opt between Bachelor in Computer Applications BCA and Bachelor in Technology (B.Tech). Though the two aren't comparable as one is an engineering course and the other is a degree course, with the growing demand of BCA and the increase in private engineering institutes, students do come up with queries like should they do BCA or B Tech. Let me explain both the programme a bit to understand better. BCA (Bachelor of Computer Application): Scope. The most logical step after the BCA course is to pursue an MCA. Alternatively, you may look into jobs in the IT sector or related fields. Job Prospects students usually start as a Junior Programmer or a Software Tester and then move higher up the ranks to the role of a Senior Programmer. The IT industry is booming in India and you can find many companies with vacancies in IT branches. While BCA gives students good technical knowledge, it is advisable to complete your MCA to give yourself a career-wise push. After graduation, a student with a B.Tech degree has greater job opportunities than a student with a BCA. Still, junior programming positions and software testing jobs are available to BCA graduates; from there you can climb up. B.Tech (CSE/IT): This four-year B.Tech course, highly popular, focuses on bringing together the varied knowledge of sectors such as Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Science and Information Technology; the course of study is the same for every student for the first two years, but after that, students pick up their specializations. The course combines theory with practice. When it comes to IT, the B.Tech syllabus also covers some of the material found in BCA. Such as database management. Scope and Job Prospects Quality engineers are in high demand everywhere and every sector whether banking, manufacturing, or aviation, whether within our borders or abroad, as the growth pace of this industry is consistently high. India is a particularly important outsourcing hub for clients from the UK or the US. There are plenty of jobs for everyone in posts such as: Graduate Engineer Trainee Junior Software Engineers/Programmers Software Trainee Engineers Research Analysts. I have made many friends from BCA and B.Tech (CSE) programmes at Lovely Professional University and they all are well settled in their careers and working in reputed MNCs. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

MCA after BCA is equal to B.tech degree so don't be worried if you don't go through with a B.Tech degree. As an alumnus of LPU, I feel proud to answer this question. I was a student in the B.Tech CSE of 2012 batch, the knowledge that I gained while my course duration has helped me a lot in shaping my career. I am currently working as an Application Development Analyst in Accenture, Noida. To begin with, LPU provides a lot of options in engineering only. It is one of the most highlighted courses. It has B.Tech and B.Tech (Hons) courses. B.Tech (Hons. ). With time, they had introduced my new programs considering in mind the change occurring in technology. LPU has been ranked in the top 100 private universities by many outer agencies such as Business Today, golden star awards, Digital learning, zee news etc. More than 600 companies visit every year for various industry-academia activities and campus recruitment of students from LPU Following is the data showing the placements of LPU students by top brand companies. 1. Microsoft with a package of 42 Lacs per annum. 2. Amazon with a package of 16 Lacs per annum The main concern of every student and their parents is the job and LPU fulfills that requirement. According to the placement data of 2019-20 LPU has given jobs to 90% of their students appearing in the interview. Even in 2020-21 placement record was up to 72% considering the lockdown situation and rising cases of corona patients, LPU has delivered its promise. All my batch mates were working in reputed companies in India as well as abroad. If someone is planning their career in engineering, then I would suggest LPU. It will take care of your dreams and help you fly high.
