Will it be a wise choice to apply for NET or PhD after completing MCA?

NET and SET are qualifying exam for lectureship whereas, PhD. is a research programme. Talking about better option or the best option, I would suggest you to appear for NET examination and option for JRF (Junior Research Fellowship) at the time of application. After qualifying as lecturer, you can go for PhD. and will receive allowances through UGC JRF. So, along with the eligibility to be a lecturer, you will be able to get financial support for your PhD programme. This will enable you to continue your higher studies and make a bright future out of it. Opting for this as a choice will allow one to move towards the academics and use the gained knowledge for teaching sector and training. This level of academics can be provided at various colleges where the basic eligibility for faculty is generally NET/PhD holders or even people with 15+ years of experience. Opting for this will also open opportunities of entrepreneurship of opening various institutes and coaching that guide students for the training of MCA/BCA or other technical courses.
