Hi


MCA stands for the Master's in Computer Application and it is a Master's/Post Graduate course. It can be done by minimum graduate only.

MCA is a post graduation related to computer Applications stream. Its usually the advanced course of the BCA i.e Bachelor in Computer Application.

Similarly the B.E Computer Science is Bachelor in Engineering Computer Science. Its a graduation course which can be done right after passing class 12th.

Its also a computer related course and after completion of this, M.Tech in CS can be done as an advanced form of this program.

So the only difference is the Graduation and Post Graduation courses. Rest both are related to the studies of the Computers, Programming, DBMS, Networking, etc....

The MCA is equivalent to a B.Tech CS student. So the BCA + MCA = B.Tech in CS. M.Tech is more advanced.

Hope this helps

All the best
