Education and Career Forum

I have completes my BCA and I have CCNA and 3 years Experience. I am willing to start my future again, so which is better in between MSC and MCA.

As you have done BCA (Bachelor of Computer Application) and also have three year of experience and want to go for further studies, then according to my opinion MCA (Master of Computer Application) is better option for you to do further studies after having bachelors degree in computer application. Here below are details regarding MCA course:-

• To apply for MCA course minimum qualification required to apply is bachelors degree from government recognized institute.
  
• Duration of MCA degree course is 3 years.
  
• Specializations offered in MCA course are like Hardware technology, Troubleshooting, System engineering, Internet, Application software, Software development etc.

Without any doubt or hesitation, Master of Computer Application is the best course option after Bachelor of Computer Application.

The eligibility criteria for MCA course:

1. Those who have done graduation in science, engineering, computer applications etc are eligible for this course.

2. Mathematics at 10+2 level is necessary for MCA course.

You can apply for NIMCET or IIT JAM course for admission in better MCA colleges.

First thing I would like to let you know that being a BCA degree holder you are not eligible for M.Sc degree course as for pursuing same degree course you are required to have completed your bachelor's degree in Science stream.

Therefore you must go for MCA ( Master of Computer Application ) degree course as it would provide you more career opportunities with good scope in software world. Further it will best for you as you will be aware of its basics having completed graduation in computer application course.

Master of Computer Application is better than Master of Science for Bachelor of Computer Application candidates.

Requirements for MCA course:

Academic qualification: Bachelor's degree in science, computer application etc.

Student must have studied Mathematics at 12th level.
