Sorry, it is not possible to study BCA with Biology subject. The eligibility to study BCA is passing in 10+2 with Mathematics as one of the subjects with the minimum of 50% marks. So if you have studied Mathematics as one of the subjects in 12th standard then you are eligible to study BCA or you are not eligible to study BCA. This is one of the main criteria followed in the admission to BCA course. The duration of the course is 3 years. The course is available in various colleges in India.
