    Yes, you can. You should score a minimum of 50% in class 12th to do BCA. Some colleges prefer students who have studied mathematics till 12th class whereas there are some colleges which give admission to those who had opted for arts or commerce.

    Yes, you are eligible for BCA course. All the best ahead! Other courses can only be suggested given your area of interests. If you are interested in computer and wish to develop apps or opt for networking then BCA is indeed very good option.

    Yes, you are eligible for admission into BCA, but you should consider doing it via distance learning education centres like IGNOU. In this way, you'll be able to work and study at the same time.

    Try a short-term course or Diploma. Also, you can opt for distance education courses from SOL or IGNOU.
  • If you opted for maths in HSC then only you can pursue BCA. You have B.Com as the alternate course.

Hi.

Dont worry you have so much time to score good marks.

follow some strategy 

  • Organic Chemistry: Focus on all the name reactions and their mechanisms. Write them down repeatedly until you remember them perfectly.
  • Physical Chemistry: Similar to physics, create a master list of all formulas from chapters like Solutions, Chemical Kinetics, and Electrochemistry. Practice applying these formulas to textbook problems.
  • Inorganic Chemistry: Read the textbook thoroughly for this part, focusing on trends and important points (e.g., p-block elements).
