    Yes, some universities do demand for these subjects for BCA. You must be a maths student. Some institutes do provide options to choose subjects among them. So, go for it. Search for it.

    No, it's not mandatory to study PCM in order to pursue BCA. You can pursue BCA even from Commerce and Arts Stream as well. You just need to be interested in learning programming languages and other technologies. It is recommended that you should study Maths and Computer Science as subjects in your +2, if you have not studied these subjects even then you can easily get admission into BCA without any problem. If you want to learn programming languages which you will be studying in your BCA course then you can check out this app which is specially designed and developed for BCA students.

    To pursue BCA, it is not much compulsory to have the subjects, physics, chemistry, mathematics as the main subjects, as in BCA the majority of the subjects are related to computers. And, definitely you have to choose one or two subjects of your choice among chemistry or mathematics. So, there is no such compulsion to choose all the subjects as the main subjects.

    Hi,
    It depends upon universities. Generally, physics and chemistry are not at all required as they have no relevance with BCA 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 BCA and also to secure your career.
