On the other hand, a person needs to learn some skills after completing B.Sc. for getting good career opportunities.

On the other hand, B.Sc. In Computer Science is more focused on theoretical and fundamental aspects of computer Science such as algorithms, data structures, computer architecture, and operating systems. If you are l

    By doing BCA you can save yourself a full year as it is for 3 years programme but B.Sc. Is for 4 years, and syllabus is kind of similar.
