    The decision would be based on your interest areas and long term career plans. If you want to pursue a career in academics / technical / research/programing areas then MCA would be a better option However if you want to move into general management / operations side then MBA would be better.

    Hello, well it depends on personal choice, for me I would have chosen, BCA then MCA as it's the best option for being an IT graduate, MBA in IT is least recognised I guess, while B.Sc. In IT requires much more expertise plus better college reputation.

    First Identify your skills like whether you are good in coding skills, problem solving ability or whether you are good in managements skills etc. And choose wisely ! MCA will be good if your coding and development skills are good. If So choose a reputed college and study then you will have good package and career growth else choose MBA IT If you managerial, communication skills are good. Good luck.

    In my view their is no thing like best for the choice between MBA and MCA after B.Sc. And BCA because further study totally depends on individual preference and strength of the person. A candidate having MCA degree after BCA has great job opportunities in the software industry. A candidate can get a job in various areas like software design and development, networking, hardware, research and development, IT consultant, Web designer, Database analyst and database administrators and services. As far as software engineering is concerned, a candidate may work as a software analyst, software engineer, software tester, Maintenance profession
