Of course not. Chemistry and Physics are not compulsory for BCA, but mathematics is a crucial subject, thus it is preferable that you focus on it.

Hi Ayush, It depends upon universities. Generally physucs and chemistry are not at all required as they have no relevance with B.C.A. but Maths is compulsory in almost all universities in India at 10+2 level. So be careful while choosing your subjects and take up Maths at 10+2 if you want to do B.C.
