Which is better between BCA and B.Sc IT?

BCA vs B.Sc (IT) Computer Science (BCS) Information Technology (IT) is a growing field in India, and is looked upon as one of the industries that can generate numerous jobs. A Science student interested in joining the IT bandwagon is usually confused about the many courses on offer at the undergraduate level and might end up joining a course which might not be as beneficial as some other course. For example, confusion may arise when choosing between BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) and B.Sc. Computer Science. We have listed some of the difference in these courses to help you reach a decision B.Sc (Computer Science) The B.Sc. CS course mainly focuses on the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing, rather than teaching specific technologies that may quickly become outdated. The course prepares you for higher education. Eligibility: 10+ 2 Pass in Science stream with Physics, Chemistry & Maths. Education after B.Sc: M.Sc, (provided that it’s recognised by the UGC or AIU) followed by an M.Tech, or an MCA are options open to you after your B.Sc. In Computer Science. An M.Tech may be available to you after you sit for the GATE conducted by the IITs or the entrance examinations of individual universities offering the course. Jobs after B.Sc: Students will usually go immediately for higher education after B.Sc. But jobs do exist; they can take on positions as software professionals (testers and developers) in IT companies. Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) Another thing to consider when comparing BCA & B.Sc. Computer Science is that BCA is more professionally oriented; it prepares you for post-graduate or research work and also creates professional manpower for problem solving through application of computer Science at the interface of business and technology. BCA can also be pursued via distance learning. It covers: Computer Science, programming, database design, software engineering, networks and information systems Eligibility Criteria: 50+% at HSC with a Math background + an entrance test. Education after BCA: MCA and M.Tech are usually the popular options. MBA, M.Sc. PGDCA are other options. Jobs after BCA: Software related jobs in testing and developing are common options made available to you.

It would depend on your subjects. Some colleges demand Science in class 12th for B.Sc IT. Anyways, BCA would be better, as it has more subjects with options.

Dear Mehdi, Both are good programmes. Only your interest matters that which is your favorite course. For those students who want to make a career in computer applications, programming, and software development, the BCA course is better (than B.Sc.

BCS IT is concept oriented, IT will teach you the core concept of IT and you will have to study science subjects too. On other hand BCA is application oriented, teach current technologies, platforms. One can join BCA from science, commerce and arts background. But to pursue B.Sc. IT, you need to have a background of science. B.Sc. IT is a general course and BCA is a technical course, so getting job from BCA is easy than B.Sc. IT. After B.Sc. IT, you can do M.Sc. IT or MCA both. But after BCA you can only do MCA. Best universities for doing BCA and B.Sc. IT are: Lovely Professional University- Punjab, VIT University Tamilnadu, Jamia Millia Islamia University Delhi, NMIMS Mumbai, Anna University Tamil Nadu, University of Mumbai, University of Kolkata, Pune University, University of Hyderabad, JNU Delhi, Delhi University and The Maharaj Sayaji Rao University.
