Yes, it is absolutely worth doing MCA after doing a BCA because then you have an edge or an advantage as compared to other graduates because now you have a deeper understanding and knowledge on the subjects. In addition to this, If one is interested and good at mathematics and in programming and want to be a software developer then go ahead with MCA but If a candidate do not want to continue with programming language or don't want to be a software developer, just fascinated with the IT sector, then in such case they can opt MBA in Information Technology. I will advise you identify good institution which provides good curriculum, exposure and placements to the students.
