Yes, you can pursue for MCA lateral entry after completing BCA. I am aware of one of the best University which is renowned and has many rankings in its credit. It's none other than LPU, which has gained many heights in the period of 2 decades of its existence. I personally believe that gaining height is directly correlated with the quality delivered. 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. The counsellor highlighted the features and career prospects of course: Salient Features #Contemporary Curriculum #Seminar and Project driven courses are designed to enhance technical and presentation skills #Professional Enhancement #Software Skills #Industry Immersion #Holistic Development Career Prospects #Primary Prospects: Can attain various professional positions as Developers, Design Engineers, Data Base Administrator, Network Administrator, Data Analyst in leading IT companies like Cognizant, Accenture, HCL , Wipro Technologies, TCS, LG Soft, Tech Mahindra and Infosys. #Secondary Prospects: Career in teaching as Lecturer or Assistant Professor in various universities and academic institution can also be started. #Tertiary Prospects: Entrepreneurship ventures such as consultancy, coaching institutes, training centres and computer retail stores can be started.
