    HI Subhankar,
    The difference lies in the fact that you can specialise in a certain subject in BCA (Hons), whereas, BCA (Regular) gives you an overview of all those subjects taught in the honours course. It is always better to go for Hons course. You are given few more additional advantages at LPU, if you opt for Hons. Subject such as in hostel pooling, books issue at library, elective selection and few more. Hons. student will be studying one more subject as an additional from regular course students.
    LPU offers ample practical experience to students in the form of workshops, projects, on-job training, etc. Placements in LPU are best.

Best wishes to you also.

    But people of arts background can also do BCA in LPU even when they are too weak in maths. LPU has a reputation of being inclusive and providing favourable learning environment where students across different streams of study perform well. Math is but only a subject taught in the BCA but you will get good core courses in maths and will also get extra coaching so that you will be developed to gain confidence and enhance your mathematical skills.

Yes, it should not be hard for you to get admission to the University of Western Australia as an Indian student with 50% in class 12th. However, please note that it does not put you in the top applicants either. The general admission percentage requirement for international students is 50 to 65%.

Look at the other admission requirements - 

  • English proficiency tests with IELTS (bands 6.5) or TOEFL iBT (82+)
  • High school Diploma from a recognised board like CBSE or ICSE etc.

Top universities require a minimum of 80-90% in your 12th-grade board exams.

  • Average universities often accept students with 60-75%.
  • For highly competitive courses like Medicine, cut off is usually higher.

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.
