after doing mca one can be called as softwareengineer. can they put engineer in front of their name. and what isa difference between a Be or BTECH computer engineer and mca.are job aspects same for both the two. please do reply

i dont think there is much more difference between both of them.
in IT there is no much more preference 2 degree than what knowlage u have. so even if u have done BE or MCA but u can't pass any interview papers its all useless. try to learn much more than what u r learning in collage, it's more useful.

Generally a computer engg. and a MCA student will given equal priority . But as you know a comp. engg. holds a degree in engg. because of which they get more preference in jobs. But as you are a MCA student so its nothing to worry about jobs in computer fields . the only thing matters in todays world is knowledge. If you have more capability then a comp. engg. then definitely you will get first preference then a comp. engg.

Hello friend,

MCA or Master of Computer Application is a general Master's degree course related with computer application.

It simultaneously deals with software and hardware functions and implementations.

On the other hand, a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering is a technical bachelor's degree course, which is also related with software and hardware.

But the difference in these two are that an MCA student knows the theory part of software and hardware more than a B.Tech student.

And a b.Tech student knows the technical implementation of things better, and the application and theory part is strong for an MCA .

More or less,goals of both are same and job prospects also are equal for both.

Many reputed Indian and foreign technical organisations hire fresh MCA students and B.Tech graduates every year. Job profiles are same in both cases.

So i think that your doubt has been cleared now.

All the best!

Yes friend the companies to be a computer engineer or computer professional are same such as infosys,TCS,HCL,Parrot systems etc.

You just need to have command over different languages of computer and the success is yours.

hello dear
there have basically no difference between mca & computer engg.

the basic difference is for getting degree of b.tech you have to pass 8 semister.& more subjects than mca.mca have only 4 semister.

but practically it industry gives equal value to b.tech & mca studens......

More or less both are almost same but each have there own values in the real world.
A computer science students will be treated as an engineer and they got more job opportunities in the corporate world.They are regarded technically strong.

Master of Computer Applications makes you skilled in computational theory, programming, algorithm design, database management, and other related fields.

Basically both are the same but the names are different. But MCA is a pG degree whereas B.tech is only graduation.We consider B.tech better because it takes only 4 years to become an engineer wheraas it takes 6 years to be equivalent to B.tech.

hello friend,

there is almost no difference between MCA and computer engineering when it comes to job or knowledge.

computer engineering is a dedicated engineering bachelor degree where as MCA is a masters degree.

MCA students mostly deals with computer database management where as computer engineering students mostly deals with programming part.

MCA is a master`s degree in computer applications
it can be done after completion of a bachelor degree
they can get a good job in software field
computer engineering is a dedicate dengg bachelor degree
mca students deals with computer database management where as computer engg mostly deals with programming part

Software engineer can be anyone who is good in software programming and proficient in any of the programming languages. MCA or Btech or BE or Bsc, anybody can be a software engineer, but ofcourse priority is given to Btech, MCA in that order. MCA students can go to multiple computer science streams - database, ERP, BI, Hardware, software and so on.

there is a very gud difference between them dear and all are meant for different purposes also
MCA- a very low ranked degree in as compared to other two.this can be done mostly to work in a school or where use of software is at a very basic level.
BE- it is a better degree than MCA . after doing it you can get jobs in following fields:
1. software designing
2. website designing
3. animation
4. graphic designing etc.

B.Tech. - a very valuable degree. after getting this degree u can get a job where the software one uses in all electronic appliances are designed. you must remembered that softwares are used everywhere from computers to a tv remote....

there is not much diffrence,except that cs is a engg. post,while mca is general application degree.
though in matters of syllabus,there is not much difference,but job seekers are best through a engg. degree

Hello, sir ..I wanted to do b.tech from IIT, but it was not happened..i got admission in a deemed university so sir i wanted to know how can i become equal to IIT students..is it possible or not?...now i m in 3rd year...so if i wrote GATE than can i become equal to them???

i am doing my bsc it from reputed college a naac b graded college (autonomous) what is the job oppertunity for just after completion of the course . Deepak ,ranchi

hii friend if you do engineering you get more scope than doing mca.... but nowadays even mca has good scope ....if you have interest in doing programing and hardware you can join computer engineering...........

MCA or Master of Computer Application is a general Master's degree course related with computer application
where computer engg is related wholly to computer

hi friend mean of MCA is master in computer application. after doing MCA you become a software engineer that also called a computer engineer..

I am an Softwarw engineer. My parenters are an MCA degree boy to make marry with me. Is the degree is equal to software degree. Please enlight me by giving yoyr valuable suggesstion.

MCA is better than BE or BTECH degree, MCA rocks !!

myself himanshu gupta and i have completed b.sc.,m.sc, by securing first class. now i want to know that i am interested in software field. so i want to know that which course is better for me according to job prospects for me? btech. (c.s,it) or mca

nowadays everybody says mca has more scope than b.tech since it has 6 semester...is that right?

there is not that much difference in mca and b.tech or b.e. but it also right that the mca students are master in computer field therefore seniority will go to mca student
dipak budhwani(m.c.a)

sir,after bca which course will be good for my carier mca or msc in computer scince.

mca would be better for you aftet bca. after completing your mca you will become equivalent to btech student.
and will have better job opportunities

sir , iam studying in mca in terview they are vwhy we have to prefer compared to btech what points i hv to strees while giving answer

yea there is some difference.

computer engineering is an engineering bachelor degree but MCA is a master degree in computer application.

computer engineer have good opportunity than the MCA student. even they can do the same work but the salary will vary as there degree are not same.

but B.E and B.Tech are same. there is no difference. both are engineering 4 years bachelor degree.

Hi,
Basically the difference is in pursuing the degree, Computer engineer pursues btech or BE, whereas MCA student pursues a computer applicant degree but nt called as an engineer. But the degree is equivalent to engineering, and there's also no difference in knowledge too. Scope is equal for both the degrees.
thank you

B.E. B.Tech. ppl hav more technical knowledge in comparisn with M.C.A. ppl
Enggs also know application of Physics, Chemistry and Maths.
And ofcourse M.C.A graduate cannot put Engineer in front of thier name.

Just a correction. MCA is a three year course with 6 semesters. Believe there aren't less subjects in MCA. Moreover, an MCA is elligible to do M-Tech even in IITs.

Hi
MCA stands for Master fo computer application.In MCA studies more focus in given on programming languages as compare to theory subjects whereas in BE CS more focus is on theory subjects.
MCA holder is not an Engineer by degree.But most of the times designation in companie is Software Engineer.
MCA can be considered as Software Developer not computer Engineer.
As per the career perspective both provides almost same opportunities and comes under same qualification criteria(there are some exception that some companies do not allow MCA)
The last and most important thing is this that if you have an opportunity to do BE then prepfer it over MCA because MCA takes six years(Since you will also have to do graduation in order to do MCA)and BE takes 4 years.
Good Luck.

Dear
I don't think there is
much more difference
between them.In IT sector there is no much
more preference to
degree than what
knowlage you have. so even
if you have done BE or MCA
but you can't pass any
interview papers its all
useless. try to learn much
more than what you are
learning in collage, it's
more useful

Hi,

M.C.A is master degree,computer engineer is bachelor degree.

There is no difference between M.C.A and computer engineer.

M.C.A is 6 years and computer engineer is 4 years .that is the difference.

but M.C.A we take more years.

we learn so many things in years.computer engineer are the short period.

computer engineer have lot applications in short period.

but we have also that much application to learn more time.

M.C.A and computer engineer are equal.

in mca the person only have software knowlede and application knowledge but in computer engineering the person have also hardware knowledge of the computer..

The people who use to make the difference between MCA and computer engineering are the Fool person... They have no idea about that. Engineering is an another department but related to computer, but MCA is a master degree. It is all about computers, there is nothing like physics, chemistry and the rubbish things, they are not related to computer... The computer engineering students has knowledge but not much more than MCA students, according to the computer fundamentals, programming. They have no defth, because with computers they have also other rubbish subjects has to study... So, they have no defth in computer department. But if you wil say about the MCA students, They have only computers, so definitely they have the defth of computers, and off course, the knowledge is much more than that of the rubbish saying of "Computer engineers has more knowledge..." Yes, off course, they are engineers but computer is related to their studies, But MCA students are the Master of Computer field, each and every thing is related to computers, so they have the proper knowledge. Thats all...

MCA students are the kings...

Sir/ Maam,
Can i do Computer Engg after MCA

yeah there is a gud differece between them.
mca is not equivalant to comp engg. mca deals more on theoritical part but a comp engg. deals on tecnical part.

hi..i am in 11th right now...i have a great interest in computers...i have opted non-medical.. basically my aim is to do job in abroad like US and get settled there...i am really very confused that whether i should go for BCA then MCA Or Betch(CS)...please help me..whose value is more???? MCA OR BTECH..?? for BCA MCA,i do not need any coaching classes for those entrance examinations like AIEEE...but if i have to go for BTECH then i need to join the classes right now..so what should i do?? basically,, we have to focus that i will be doing job after 4 or 6 years...so at that time,,,whose value will be more?? look,,please explain that how there is not much difference between MCA and BTECH?? As per i know,, in BTECH obviously more hard work is required as there are all india entrance examinations but it is not so in BCA then MCA....please help me guys because my 12th classes will get start at the end of march...so,i need to decide for the coaching classes that prepare us for the entrance examinations... please reply as soon as possible...THanks in advance for help...

MCA student have a good programming skilled than BE this is because of BE student never get time to spend for clearing the basic concept of programming.MCA are mostly done by BCA,Bsc(IT) and other computer related courses so they alredy clear their concept because they got more time than BE student so after completing bacholor degree MCA is easy for them and easy to clear their basic programming skill that is importance for the job
-swapnil

I THINK engineering is much better than MCA .......there is no comparison between them

A Master is always greater than a bachelor ...........in Pramotion ha ha ................;lolz

hi i m doin bca 1st yr nd wil do mca. i need to know that should i start preparing for entrance of mca?

Difference between MCA and a Computer Engineer?


MCA is basically Masters in Computer Application. In this course basically the candidate gains theoretical knowledge in both software and hardware. The B.tech course is basically related to the application of the concepts. BE on the other hand involves developing new and improving on the existing concepts. In terms of value Bachelors degree is more valuable in job front. The pay scale is also higher than MCA candidates. Job profiles for these candidates are almost the same though. To be an MCA you need to first of all complete BCA course or BSc in Computer application. But a candidate can go for the B.Tech/ B.E course right after 12th. The number years to become an MCA including 3 years of Bachelors course but for B.Tech/B.E only 4 years are required.

After doing MCA one can be called as software developer.
But,After doing B.tech one can be called as Computer Engineer.
finally software developers only concentrate developing software coding part, but b.tech engineers concentrates with verity of platforms such as developing,technical support , mentenance etc .

MCA has 6 semester and plus u should have 3 years bachelor degree in maths or computer science which is again 6 semesters, so totally 12 semesters for any MCA graduates, whereas BTech has only 8 semesters, also BTech is a bachelor degree, and MCA is a master degree, when u are applying for PhD then u should have minimum a master degree, and in that case MCA people can apply for any PhD in computer science or computer engineer, but for BTech they have to apply for MTech firstly which is 2 years masters degree study basically, then after finishing MTech only they can apply for PhD. But in a IT job both MCA and BTech have same value, only the difference in the job environment the MCA people are older than BTech people because I have mentioned above that MCA had 12 semesters to reach that level. Now, u can decide!

the basic difference is for getting degree of b.tech you have to pass 8 semister.& more subjects than mca.mca have only 4 semister.

i heard that in an interview the preference goes to a b tech student than a bca student .is it correct?

sir iam krishna rani samal from ravenshaw university ,continuing my bsc.itm(network engineering).is it possible to became a software engineer after it?and what is good for me ,mba or mca after it?

maximum which is better after b.sc it.mca or b.tech.then my friends tell b.tech is first preference then mca sir.confused myself
