    BCA is a UG course while Polytechnic is Diploma. Pursuing a UG course has got a higher repo than doing diploma. So BCA can be a better option. However, it depends on your interest what u want to pursue.

    You should do polytechnic because after completing polytechnic you have more chance of getting a job as compared to BCA.
    By completing BCA, in most cases company will not hire you because there are so many MCA pass out with you in competition so it will little bit difficult.
    But after polytechnic, there will be a chance to get job in private sector as well government sector.
    Also, you can do B.Tech after it which is also good career enhancer.

    BCA is better for you according to me because BCA has less stress area for students. There is nothing to learn in polytechnic.

    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.

    Polytechnic is the best option as it is a Diploma course & BCA is a UG course. But in today's life, there is a scope of technical people in both government and private sector.
    After Diploma engineering, you can easily get a good college of B.Tech where you can get direct admission in 2nd year of B.Tech.
    In Diploma, you will learn basic things & in B.Tech you will learn analysis. Your basics will be more clear then and you will be having a wide knowledge in practicals too.
    I also did the same.
    It will be helpful.

    according to my view , BCA is best rather than polytechnic. infact earlier there was a huge demand for polytechnic but now its less. after BCA u can go for MCA which is equivalent to B.TECH. all the best. search for your interest

Hi.

If you apply with JEE Main scores, CU primarily considers your JEE Main percentile / AIR for admission.

12th marks are generally secondary in this case — mostly used for eligibility criteria (like minimum 50–60% in PCM or aggregate, depending on branch).

High JEE scores can also qualify you for JEE-based scholarships at CU.

Hi.

Yes — for admission to B.Tech/B.E. at Chandigarh University (CU), there is a requirement on your 12th‑class marks (along with other eligibility conditions), even if you're using your JEE Main score. 

What's required from 12th (or equivalent) at CU

You must have passed 10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognised board with Physics and Mathematics. 

For many B.Tech courses at CU, including those that accept JEE Main or CU's entrance (CUCET), the minimum aggregate requirement in 12th is around 50% (for general or merit‑based eligibility) as a baseline. 

Some sources show that for “full eligibility” (especially for certa

Hi.

If your 12th result has not been announced yet then 

Upload expected / provisional marks for now.

Final admission depends on the official 12th mark sheet after results are announced.

Colleges are used to this situation, especially for students applying in early cycles.

Hi.

AIIMS is primarily a medical college/university (undergraduate, postgraduate, super-speciality, etc.) + a hospital. 

Its courses begin after Class 12 — i.e. you must have completed 12th standard (10+2) to be eligible for entry into courses like MBBS, B.Sc., etc. 

The official course list of AIIMS includes medical and allied health degrees — not school-level classes (11th / 12th) as per its academic catalogue.

Thus, AIIMS itself does not run 11th and 12th standard as a school.
