Is it beneficial to pursue MCA after BE mechanical?

MCA is a three years duration job oriented course. The course was designed to meet the growing demand for qualified professionals in the field of information technology in both computer software and hardware. Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics and material science for the design, analysis, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production and operation of machinery. B.Tech mechanical engineering and MCA are diverse fields. Indian IT industry used to hire mechanical engineers for software development and testing roles. But now Indian IT industry is in slow down phase and its demand of fresher is fulfilled by B.Tech computer science/IT and MCA or M.Sc computer science/IT students and mechanical engineers are no longer hired by IT companies. If you do MCA after mechanical engineering, your mechanical knowledge and four years education period will go waste.In addition, you will lose three years of opportunity cost while doing MCA. Therefore, it is advised that you may continue with your mechanical engineering profession instead of doing MCA.

Hello, Both are entirely different fields of study. It is not advised to switch your expertise from Mechanical to computers post engineering. However, if you wish to study Computers and wish to change your stream try for computer software courses. There are plenty of courses available online and offline, but MCA will give you altogether different feel post engineering. Think through, why you want to change your stream and choose a right certification in the niche specific area. Having said this, MCA covers more of computer application processes, which is way off from the mechanical which deals with machines and the way it works. One can switch to computer hardware by doing relevant certifications. If mechanical does not suite you, you can go for general management as the other option.
