Yes you can go for BCA if you have completed 12th from commerce stream. But you need to work hard in Mathematics. If you have completed 12th from commerce stream. If you are looking for best university with quality education, good placements, exposure then I would recommend you to choose Lovely professional University. I stayed in LPU hostel during my post graduation years, and I had few friends from BCA course so I have idea about this course. Students learn about some interesting subjects like Mathematics, Computer Programming, Computer Networking, Database Management Systems and, Software Engineering. Besides the core compulsory subjects, students can choose from a wide variety of subjects as their pathway elective or minor elective. To be eligible for admission in the course, the candidate must have cleared 10+2 from a recognised board. LPU School of Computer Application is ranked among the top four Computer Applications Institutes of North India by NASSCOM. Students from all across India and 15 plus countries around the globe are expertly mentored by an experienced and proficient team of faculty members. Students have instant access to the latest technology labs like iMac, SAP, etc. That keeps them updated with the ever-changing technologies. Students are involved in various Co-curricular Activities like Android Workshop, ERP, PHP, LAMP, Guest lecture on database administration, Mobile Application development, Quiz IT, iPhone Workshop, etc. They told me their department have separate laboratories for all the domains: Programming Lab, Networking Lab, Systems and Architecture Lab, Databases Lab, Software, Engineering Lab. Although, choosing electives thoughtfully might not sound like a big deal in your first year. However, they make a huge difference to your career. They attended session on Android Apps development etc. Placements in LPU are good if you are a brilliant student and you have better ideas and projects with you. Internship experience also helps. The average salary package offered is 3 LPA to 4 LPA. The highest salary package offered is between 9 LPA to 11 LPA. Companies like Amazon, Infosys, TCS and many other companies visit our campus for placements. But this is BCA that's why a lot of students think to do MCA from foreign universities.

Not all universities but some allow a commerce student to pursue BCA even without studying mathematics in PUC but you must learn mathematics as a subject in BCA.

Konatham Abhishek · Answer

BCA candidates should have either mathematics or computer in class 12th. As you don't have mathematics in class 12th, if computer application was a subject in class 12th then you will be eligible for BCA course. There are so many other universities also where there is no such criterion. They offer admission to class 12th pass candidates. As you are from commerce stream, so you have done mathematics a little bit that will be an added advantage for you. Try to contact the institution they will tell you about the eligibility criterion. If you don't have mathematics in class 12th and you want to take admission in BCA then maybe you will get a chance to take admission in few institutions but BCA study will be very much difficult for you because in BCA there are some papers from mathematics. Also, at the time of selection for a job non-maths students suffer a lot to be selected for a job.
