The aspirant should study BCA after the completion of 12th CBSE in Computer Science.
BCA means Bachelor of Computer Science and MCA means Master of Computer Science. You can study BCA first and then you can study MCA. The eligibility to study the BCA is a pass in 10+2 with Mathematics as one of the subjects. The duration of the course is 3 years. The course is available in various colleges in India.

You are eligible to pursue BCA course after completion of your 12th standard from CBSE Board. You are not eligible to pursue MCA course after completion of your 12th standard. To be eligible to pursue MCA course, you must have passed Bachelor's degree course in any stream from a recognised university. Since, you have completed your 12th standard, you can pursue only BCA course after completion of your BCA course, you are eligible to pursue MCA course.

BCA stands for Bachelor of Computer Application and MCA stands for Master of Computer Application and it is a master degree course.

So, after 10+2 you are eligible to pursue only bachelor degree so you have to pursue BCA course right now.

But after BCA course you are eligible to pursue MCA course.

Let me make you clear that BCA stands for Bachelor in computer application and MCA stands for Masters in computer application. So it is definitely that you have to pursue Bachelor in computer application before pursuing master in computer application after passing class 12th. Minimum age limit to join this course is 17 years.

You have completed 12th standard with Computer Science, So you are eligible for BCA course.

Those candidates who have completed 12th standard with Mathematics or Computer Science from a recognized bard are eligible for BCA course.

After completion of BCA course, you are eligible for MCA course.

You cannot get admission in MCA course just after completion of your 12th boards, you will first of all have to get admission in BCA course and after completion of the course from a recognized University, you can get admission in MCA course after appearing for MCA entrance examination.

BCA is Bachelor degree and MCA is Master degree. for MCA you have to done your bachelor degree. as you said you have just passed 12th then you can do only BCA. after BCA you can do MCA.
