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. I recall one of my friend who did her MCA from LPU told that LPU is popular for its excellence in teaching and the infrastructure facilities the university possesses. # It aims to be recognised internationally as one of the premier academic institutions, which contributes towards the society and industry through Research and Training, Globalization, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership. #She also told that Ministry of Human Resource Government of India Ranked Lovely Professional University No. 2 in India in Management (Outreach and Inclusivity). LPU surpassed all Iims, including IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore and all Universities of India on Outreach and Inclusivity parameter and ranked 38th overall during NIRF 2018 Rankings. #It's few days ago news that LPU has been ranked among top 100 institutions by NIRF 2020, MHRD, GOI which is a matter of pride. The career prospects of MCA are Programmer Database Administrator, Application Developer, Systems, Analyst, Work as an entrepreneur, Web Designer, Career in Multimedia Applications and many more. This University provides ample opportunities to every eligible student to secure good placement, Internships Opportunities offered by the University placement department (Division of Career Services, DCS). Regarding placements, LPU provides great platform for placements and also prepare the students for better performance. One of my friend who pursued her studies in LPU told that last year LPU provided placement the maximum package was 5 Lacs per annum and average packages were 3.6 Lacs I will advice you to book the seta online at the earliest. You may explore about other institutes. Hope this helps.
