Hi Abdul,
The growing trend of specialization has paved the way for a number of new short term programs, also known as Certificate courses. These courses are designed basically to provide an extra edge to an individual by giving them an in-depth knowledge in a particular area of subject.
It's important to know that after doing these courses students get a certificate in a specific field of study. These could be ideal for professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge while working.
Certificate courses are faster, cheaper and shorter than degree programs (Bachelors or Masters). These programs emphasize more on the practical side of the domain rather than the theoretical concepts. In addition to the lectures, most programs make use of real case studies/discussions.

Hello Rashpal,
Prospective international students and particularly students from India planning to apply to the UBC MSc Computer Science or any other programme must hold a four years bachelor degree. Since you have done your BCA which is a three year degree you are not eligible to apply as of now. You should strongly consider doing a one year PG Diploma programme in India or do a Masters in India and then apply to UBC . Very good grades are required ( First class standing or GPA of 8 on 10). As an admission requirement you must appear for the GRE and TOEFL or IELTS.
UBC is regarded as one of the most competitive schools and students having excellent academic grades and achievements are preferred. Since you are not eligible to apply now you should build your profile as suggested above if you are serious about studying at UBC.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Hi As you said that you want to go for UPSC and want to do your graduation from private, well it doesn't matter if you do it from private or not, but i would suggest you to do a regular course along with UPSC coaching, this would in fact give you a deep insight into the relevant field and you can also pursue your degree at the same time.You would be glad to know that nowadays universities like UPES has come up with great BA programs with great curriculum in which they would not only deliver regular courses but also have inbuilt coaching schedule so that you can apply for various competitive exams. UPES has embedded Civil Services Examination coaching along with the regular course curriculum for its BA programs. This university has joined hands with an IAS Academy. Moreover you can see other university too that offers similar programme so that you can actively complete both and by doing so your chance of cracking IAS will be more than doing it from a private or a distance course. All the best :)
