I have completed my B.com in 2009. Can I do the MCA course after such a long time? What is the term, eligibility criteria of the coourse & the fees for the same?

In order to join MCA course, the candidate should have gone through Mathematics as one of the subject at your Graduation level or at 10+2 level.

You mentioned that you have completed your Graduation course in B.Com course. This mean that you might not be having Mathematics as one of the subject in your B.Com course.

You did not mention the stream that you have gone through in your 10+2.

If you possess Mathematics as one of the subject in your 10+2, then you are eligible to join MCA course.

If you don't have Mathematics as one of the subject in your 10+2, then I am sorry you are not eligible to join MCA course.

The admission to MCA course will be given on the basis of performance in the Entrance Exam.

Each and every university will conduct its own entrance exam to give admission for MCA course.

If you want to get admission for this course in NITs, then I suggest you to crack NIMCET Exam.

Yes. You are eligible to join MCA course even though you are having academic gap.

But, you should be able to give proper explanation regarding your academic gap at the time of Interview.

As you are having big academic gap, you should be able to be strong enough in subject knowledge to get a good job with good salary.

Choose the Entrance Exam which you want to appear for and have good preparation for the same.

Try to secure good rank in the Entrance Exam so that you will be given admission for this course in top colleges.

Wish you all the best.
