If you aim at B.Tech/BE a recognized polytechnic Diploma in the concerned discipline will be more useful. You may opt for lateral entry admissions after your Diploma to a B.Tech programme.

It depends on you. If you like programing languages like C, C+ or Java then you must go for BCA. Else if you are interested in polytechnic, you go with it because in future only your knowledge will work i.e. how much you know about your field.

If you interested in Computer then I would suggest you go for BCA because the new evolution of India and the world will demand the employees who have the knowledge of software and hardware.

Polytechnic is better than BCA because job chances are more than BCA and after polytechnic you can join for B.Tech or BE.
