After completion of BCA course, you can't do M.A in Psychology course.

Those candidates who have completed B.A in Psychology from a recognized university are eligible for M.A degree in Psychology course.

Your age should be above 18 years.

The candidate who is interested to pursue MA in psychology must have done graduation in psychology field. You have to qualify the entrance exam conducted by the University where you want to pursue MA in psychology course. Minimum percentage in graduation should not be less than 50% and 45% for reserved categories.

No, you can't opt for a different field if you have completed BCA degree. For masters degree in any field you need to have a bachelor degree in a related field.

On the basis of BCA you can apply for admission only in MCA or any other course which ask for any stream graduates.

No, I am sorry to say that it is not possible to study MA in psychology after having completed your graduation in BCA. You should have however opted for BA in Psychology in order to be eligible to pursue the above mentioned course.

MA Psychology is a post graduate course of 2 years duration consisting of 4 semesters. This course is all about study of mind process, feelings, nature of human mind and behavior and has a systematic approach towards understanding people.

The eligibility needed for pursuing this course are:

# Candidate should have completed a degree in any stream from a recognized university and should have got at least 50% aggregate.

If you possess this qualification you can apply for the MA course. Having completed BCA you can surely apply for the course.

The top colleges which you can prefer for pursuing MA in India:

• Amity Institute of Psychology and allied Sciences, Noida, Uttar Pradesh
• Government College of Educational Psychology and Guidance, Jabalpur

I am extremely sorry to state that you cannot opt for MA in Psychology. This is because you need to be a graduate in psychology or related fields to be eligible for post graduation in Psychology. The basic eligibility for MA in Psychology is graduation in Psychology or related fields and since BCA is not related to psychology so you are ineligible.

So, after MCA you can apply for the job in many companies. In today's life all offices and companies work with computers and for this, they need computer experts.
