On inquiring from the counsellors of LPU, I came to know that you can pursue MCA and MCA Hons in Lateral entry but you need to meet the eligibility criteria. The eligibility is Pass with 60% aggregate marks in BCA or B.Sc. (Information Technology) or B.Sc. (Computer Science) with mathematics as a course at 12th or Graduation level or equivalent. It is pertinent to mention here that for MCA and MCA (Hons) the candidates with Non-Computer background must have studied Mathematics at 10+2 or at Graduation Level. Now subjects like Quantitative Techniques/ Business Mathematics/ Statistics etc. will not be considered as an alternative for Mathematics. In such cases, these candidates have to do bridge/additional courses after joining LPU.
