B.Tech has a better scope than BCA. This is because the curriculum of B.Tech is designed such as to provide an equal pace of theoretical and practical knowledge instead of giving the course a monotonous approach.
Good luck.

I personally feel that every field has its own scope provided you have a passion to do it from a right institute.

If I mention outrightly the private universities, the list is quite long but again you have to identify the institutions with recognitions and awards or in one word the prestigious institution. Considering the placements, LPU is outperforming like anything.
You can target that university. But you can enquire about others as well but do keep the parameters in your mind. If you are interested in B.Tech,

B.Tech has scope better than BCA. In B.Tech, you will get placement too. B.Tech curriculum is very good. In four years of graduation you will learn so many things and after that you will get placement too. Good luck.

BCA makes you adept at the application level of computers whereas B.Tech makes you proficient at the technical level (Software, Hardware, applications etc. ). It depends upon your interest.

Well here I am detailing the eligibility criteria for both the programmes:-
BCA- Pass with 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English) or equivalent. B.Tech. - Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics, Mathematics and English) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPU NEST or In case student scored more than or equal to 90% in 10+2, or 90 percentile in JEE Mains, then LPU NEST will be exempted and candidate may apply for admission.

Hi,
B.Tech is a better option as B.Tech is a professional course and BCA is a simple degree. B.Tech is having more scope when compared with BCA. Minimum marks required for admission in both B.Tech and BCA varies from college to college and universities to universities. Hope you got your answer.

It is all about your interest if you are interested in technical field then go for B.Tech, because there are so many students who choose the field and then regret for that if you are seriously interested in this field then it's good for you otherwise you can choose BCA it's also good.

While BCA gives students a good technology knowledge, it is advisable to complete your MCA to give yourself career wise push. After graduation, a student with a B.Tech degree has greater job opportunities than a student with a BCA.

It all depends on your choice as every course has its own orientation. B.Tech. Is a four-year undergraduate programme; BCA is a three-year undergraduate programme. BCA makes you adept at the application level of computers whereas B.Tech makes you proficient at the 'technical' level (Software, Hardware, applications etc. ). While BCA gives students a good technology knowledge, it is advisable to complete your MCA to give yourself career wise push. After graduation, a student with a B.Tech degree has greater job opportunities (I believe) than a student with a BCA. Addressing to your query, I wish to inform you that the eligibility norms
