BCA is a 3 year degree course. B.Tech is a 4 year degree course. B.Tech has many branches, two of them are CSE and IT. In CSE, you'll learn about hardwares and software related to computers. In IT, you'll mainly learn software. In BCA also you'll learn 3-4 programming languages, which can be used for creating software. BCA will b more into programming and coding, B.Tech more into development. All the courses have their own potential. But the companies tend to hire candidates with B.Tech degree than BCA degree. If you are eligible for B.Tech, then you should definitely take admission into B.Tech, and if not, then BCA is also a good course to pursue.

Hello, BCA degree is a 3 year course whereas B.Tech is a 4 year degree course. You will have to do 3 years MCA to be equated equal to B.Tech CSE after BCA. Both MCA and B.Tech CSE degrees are equally good. For BCA MCA degrees you will take additional two years before you get a good job. B.Tech CSE graduates have a minor edge over MCA graduates. CSE graduates get both Apps and System development job. Indian IT industry give only Apps development job to MCA graduates. B.Tech CSE graduates may also get 10 to 15 % better CTC if they are from reputed Engineering colleges. In view of above, I will recommend that you go for B.Tech CSE.

The technical differences in both are: CS takes a more balanced approach between theory and application while IT focuses more on application. CS offers you an opportunity to learn variety of topics related to computers while IT offers you an opportunity to discovers innovative uses of those fundamental concepts. CS generally require a decent background in math while use of math in IT is limited to data analysis / processing / statistics, etc. You may call IT as one of the sub-divisions of CS however there are certain things that are unique to IT like integrated programming, system administrations, maintenance, etc. There are some similarities too None of them involves hardwares. You may have to take one or two courses on digital systems where you will study about ICs and logic gates. That's it. You won't learn how to repair computers in any of them. Most of the courses offered in both the branches are related to programming. You will have to programme on a daily basis in both the branches. The main issue at he hands is to pursue from a good reputed universities like IITs, NITs, BITs, VIT, MANIPAL, LPU, SRM etc. Thanks.

You can't pursue GATE if you have degree in Information Technology. But CSE Bachelors can pursue GATE. It is absolutely a right reason as I say.

Vikas Pandey · Answer

Hi, both are good courses to do, but I'll suggest you to go for B.Tech, as B.Tech has more value than BCA. And you can do MBA.
