BCA makes you adept at the application level of computers whereas B.Tech makes you proficient at the technical level (Software, Hardware, applications etc. ). It depends upon your interest. After BCA for a better career one should for MCA also but in case of B.Tech. You can immediately look forward to the jobs in the industry.

Hello!
There are two points to be noted here.
1. Choosing a right career option. It depends upon your interest. I would say go for B.Tech as it saves a year and is considered equal in the market.
2. Now choosing a right university is also important. Look for following factors before choosing a university:
1. Infrastructure
2. Accreditation.
3. Faculty is not only experienced but is updated
4. Industry immersion
5. Labs are well-equipped with the latest technology
6. Placement preparation

Dear Jordon, In any kind of studies, it s better to pursue the programme from a GOOD college. B.Tech IT is a highly in demand programme these days! Check that your shortlisted colleges have the following:
Curriculum : If at all the curriculum is continuously upgraded and developed with consultations and feedback of industry. Since IT is a highly dynamic field, you cant afford a programme which is stuck in obsolete technologies and syllabi. Pedagogy : The teaching pedagogy forms the backbone of how the programme is delivered, more the practical, better it is.

Dear Jordon, In any kind of studies, it s better to pursue the programme from a GOOD college. B.Tech IT is a highly in demand programme these days! Check that your shortlisted colleges have the following:

Since IT is a highly dynamic field, you cant afford a programme which is stuck in obsolete technologies and syllabi. Pedagogy : The teaching pedagogy forms the backbone of how the programme is delivered, more the practical, better it is. Maximum exposure to practicals and internships more chances of becoming a well rounded professional. Technology: The businesses and the business functions are now highly tech driven, the tech programme must have the exposure and training of the same. The world leading technologies like SAP, GitHub, Advance excel etc. Are must for any professional to succeed in career. Industry interface: Ultimately its the industry which is going to immerse the students in the placements, the regular industrial talks, interactions, lectures, visits and internships are must have in any tech programme. Professional etiquette: It is the most important part these days, the personality, ethics, virtuous, speech, body language, interpersonal skills etc. Are given high importance in the organisations. The programme must include the training or modules on all these. Diversity: As he world shrinks into a aligned economy, the professionals will be required to work in cross cultural teams having entirely different work culture and ethos. Entrepreneurship : Even though most of the students go for jobs, the exposure to entrepreneurship is required. This helps the professionals know how the other departments and the profit center heads work, what are the expectations etc. The college must have innovation labs, design thinking and business incubator. Community service: A bit of community projects in between the course are very important to develop the humane side of the person as well as learn the organizing skills. Placements : The programme is only means to the end ! And desired end of such course is a placement. You must check if the college/university has sold track record of placements or not. If your college ticks all these right boxes, go for it!
LPU does right that !
With over 700 companies visiting the campus for recruitment and NIRF rankings in top 100, it males perfect sense. DVD.

Your study depends totally on the reputation of your college you'll choose. But, according to me it's better to have a specialisation only in one course like BCA+MCA as it will open up a lot of ways for your career.

Hello Jordan,
For BCA + MCA, you require 6 years and for B.Tech IT, you required only 4 years. After B.Tech, you have more chances of getting good placements.
All the best.
