Hello, BCA-MCA makes you adept at the application level of computers whereas B.Tech-M.Tech makes you proficient at the 'technical' level (Software, Hardware, applications etc. ). I would suggest you to look for the course that gets aligned with your career aspects. With this you need to make sure you choose a right academic partner. I have seen many institutions delivering education and serving the students, but when it comes to quality education and quality placements, LPU outperforms. Let me highlight what I have figured out: #Recognitions by UGC, COA, PCI, AIU, NCTE, ICAR, ACBSP and many more #Rankings as the latest NIRF (2020) has ranked LPU as top 80 amongst all private and government institutes. MHRD, government and has already fetched many. #Quality education at affordable pricing #Various scholarships for various programs. #Provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible students to secure good placement. #Students are also provided with on job trainings, industrial exposures inculcating in them modern management skills. #Experienced staff hired from reputed institutions. #Safety and security of students #Not only academic content is taught but students are promoted to take live projects, Community Development projects #Students can join various clubs and can learn the expertise and becomes more confident. #Special input classes for placements #Affordable and updated residential facility #cultural diversity #Mega events #More than 600 companies visit every year for such activities and campus-recruitment of students from LPU. The astonishing companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Samsung, HDFC bank, Colgate, and many more visit every year for on campus drives and hire many students. #Above all, the connect between the students and faculty is marvelous as personal mentors are allotted to every faculty which I can be sure no other institute is providing. In addition to this, the parents who send their wards from far flung areas are sending their wards on the basis of security system which LPU is providing. It is pertinent to add here that a special division for students welfare is there to assist the activities and to provide a smooth platform. I hope this helps you in taking a wise decision.

In my opinion, you should choose that stream in which The colleges have Best placement statistics. Doing B.Tech will save your 2 years as Generally B.Tech (CSE) is equivalent to the BCA+MCA course. If you choose BCA then you have to do MCA from BEST colleges as Doing BCA from best colleges not gives you as much as growth as compared to B.Tech. So in this case you have to do B.Tech is the right option. If you Do B.Tech from a better college which has good placement then you should choose B.Tech. Lastly. There is no relation to chemistry subjects with the BCA+MCA course and B.Tech (CSE). These subjects are related with coding and programming skills. For these courses, Maths should be good. Hoping your doubt would be cleared.
