Is it a good decision to pursue B.Sc in CS?

B.Sc in computer science is an under graduate course related to the information technology. Therefore, the job opportunity after completing B.Sc are mainly in the IT sector. The IT sector in India is expanding rapidly, therefore there is always requirement of under graduates in the computer science course in the following fields by the top IT companies in India: 1. System integrator. 2. Hardware designer. 3. Logic designer. 4. Systems analyst. 5. System administrator. 6. Computer programmer. 7. Computer scientist. As per the industry trend there is more requirement for the MCA candidates in IT industry comparing to M.Sc in computer science. However, this does not mean that you should not consider M.Sc in computer science. It really depends on what field you would like to go for. For example: if you are looking to go in following fields there is more chance for you with M.Sc degree then MCA: 1. Artificial intelligence. 2. Wireless communication. 3. Information security VSLI/embedded systems. 4. Robotics. You also have the option to apply for lecturer job in government colleges by clearing the UGC-NET exam. You should consider M.Sc if teaching field is your priority. MCA option is more attractive, if the fields you are interested in are following because there is more scope in these fields with Masters in computer applications degree. 1. Web development. 2. Software development. 3. Database administration. 4. Hardware and networking. You can also apply for MBA, if you are interested in management role rather than technical job. Most IT companies have jobs for MBA degree holders. You will have to appear in one of several MBA exams to get admission in college. The most popular are CAT and MAT. Since, CAT include some of the top MBA institutions in India, if you have scored at least 50 percent marks in B.Sc. I would recommend you to go for CAT exam. In other case, there is no option for you but to appear in MAT exam.
