Which one will be better for me, B.Sc in information technology or BCA?

Hi Shyam, IT (Information Technology) is a growing field, in India, and is looked upon, as one of the industries to provide jobs. A science student, interested in joining the IT bandwagon is usually confused between 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. One such confusion comes between choosing BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) or 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and theoretical foundations of computing, rather than teaching specific technologies that may quickly become outdated.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. It is more of an academic course and admission to most universities is based on your performance at the HSC level. Having physics, chemistry and maths is essential to apply for this course. Education after B.Sc: You can pursue courses like M.Sc or MCA. You can even pursue an M.Tech, after you complete your M.Sc, if the M.Sc(CS) degree is recognised by UGC or AIU (Association of Indian Universities). For M.Tech you can appear for the GATE examination conducted by the IITs or check individual universities which conduct their own entrance exam. BCA - This is an undergraduate program where students are introduced to various areas of computer science, programming, database design, software engineering, networks and information systems. This course prepares graduates for further postgraduate research degrees or employment in any variety of roles in organizations that require expert professionals who can apply computer science principles to solve problems produced by the interface between business and technology. It is more of a professional course. The admission to most colleges is based on an entrance test, the eligibility for most is 50% or above in HSC with Maths as a compulsory subject. You can go for an MCA or you can directly apply for an M.Tech, after you complete your BCA. You can not pursue an M.Tech directly after completing your B.Sc , You can pursue an M.Tech degree after you complete your BCA. Hope this helps. Wish you luck.

Both, BCA and as well as B.Sc IT are technical courses that can offer a better job opportunity to students. Key differences between BCA and B.Sc IT: BCA students are involved more in computer applications whereas B.Sc students can have advanced job opportunities in internet technology and database management. After successful completion of the course BCA, students can go for PG courses like M.Sc (IT), MCA and MBA. The students who procured B.Sc can have further courses on MCA (Master of Computer Applications). Students interested in having a job in software or in computer applications can choose to study BCA. BCA course is also a good option for students who wish to take a PG degree in MCA. Students who are interested in database operations or internet can go for B.Sc IT. Anyway, both these courses can offer challenging jobs in the field of computers.

Well, it must be your choice according to your interest. But according to me, you can opt for BCA. Career Prospects One can start preparation for Entry Level job in software companies like Infosys, TCS, Google, Tech- Mahendra, Patni, WIPRO and some other software companies, A few companies offer the opportunity of joining MCA/ MS Programmes to its employees along-with job If one does not want to do the job after BCA. Then he/she may go for the higher studies. They may do MCA or MBA courses depending on their interests. We highly recommend pursuing an MCA course after the BCA as it adds more value to the resume.

B.Sc. IT is far better than BCA because the knowledge you get IT is much highly upgraded as comparison with BCA. Best of luck.

Dear Shyam, Both of these courses have their own merits. Students interested to have a job in Software or in computer applications can choose to study BCA. BCA course is also a good option for students who wish to take a postgraduate degree in MCA. Students who are interested in Database operations or the Internet can go for B.Sc. IT. Anyway, both these courses can offer challenging jobs in the field of computers. One of my friends completed his BCA degree programme from LPU and got placed in an MNC as he was much interested in computer applications. LPU School of Computer Application is ranked among the top four Computer Applications Institutes of North India by NASSCOM. Students from all across India and 15 plus countries around the globe are expertly mentored by an experienced and proficient team of faculty members. Students have instant access to the latest technology labs like iMac, SAP, etc. That keeps them updated with the ever-changing technologies. LPU has become the landing place of many leading industries for recruitment. LPU has many top rankings in placements. The students of LPU has been placed in the top companies with high salary packages. The placements have been divided into dream packages and bulk recruiters. Apart from placements, many eminent companies approach LPU to hire students for internships. The highest package for the BCA programme at LPU is 19.25 LPA and the average package is 3.1 LPA. BCA Course at LPU is designed to build programming skills for developing efficient and resource optimized software/website/cloud/mobile applications. In simple terms, the BCA programme has lots to do with Computer Science and programming. Students are given knowledge on topics like Programming languages, hardware and software, computer networks, World Wide Web, Database Management, Logic, Multimedia etc. After completing BCA. The traditional PG course available in front of Graduates is- MCA (Master of Computer Application). If one is interested in the field of Management, one may go for courses such as MBA, Diploma in Management, Certificate Management courses etc. At LPU, B.Sc. In IT is also in demand who are aspirants of information technology. For more details of the BCA programme at LPU, you may refer to the website of LPU. I hope this helps Thanks!

Hi Shyam, BCA is Bachelor's course in computer applications. This course must be completed in three years. A BCA degree may be used to gain professional experience in programming languages like C, C+, and Java. It could also provide a range of abilities in the field of computer applications. Three years are required for Bachelor's degree programs in information technology. Students in this course receive instruction on how to use software and computer programs effectively. The goal of this course is to advance students' understanding of essential ideas such as database applications, data structures, and operating systems. While B.Sc. IT is more suited for employment in academia and discipline research, BCA is more productive and advantageous for landing positions in the business sector.
