I passed higher secondary with arts, but I want to make my career in computer hardware and networking field. Can I take admission B.Sc IT in any open university?

Yes, you can very much get admission in the above mentioned course in an open university, there is no such problem in it. You should however, contact the prospective university/institute and ask them about the criteria you need to fulfill to get admission in the course, if you do fulfill the eligibility criteria, you will be liable to avail a seat in an open university to continue with the course.

Yes, it is very much possible but the BSc IT cannot be done through any private mode and you have to be a regular student.

According to the norms of the UGC, any course which has at least 40% of its syllabus as practical, cannot be done through the private mode and should be done in a regular way.

Since any course related to the IT contains whole lot of practical things, cannot be done through the private mode.

Since you have passed class 12th in Arts so, how can you take admission in B.Sc IT whether its regular or distance mode degree college. You can only go for BA. Your base is strong in the arts not in science. You should have opted for science after class 10th only.

I am sorry to say that you cannot opt for B.Sc IT after the completion of class 12th from Arts background.
