If you have a diploma in computer application from a recognised board in India , then you are eligible for admission to BCA course.

The basic eligibility to apply for the BCA course is 12th examination with the minimum aggregate of 50% marks in English and Maths or Computer Science. Those who have not chosen mathematics as a subject in intermediate examination are also eligible for BCA but you, have to study Computer Science as a subject in your 12th examination.

As you have completed 3 year diploma course after matriculation you are also eligible for BCA course. For admission you must have passed in 3 year diploma in a branch of engineering from a Polytechnic institution with the minimum aggregate of 50% marks.

Admission in BCA course is based on CET (Common Entrance Test) as well as on the basis of Management quota. If you want to take admission in top colleges then for this you have to clear the CET examination.

Colleges provides you direct admission in 2nd year of BCA course after completing 3 year diploma course, As diploma holder eligible for lateral entry test.

Yes, you are eligible to do BCA course after passing 12th class for diploma course with 50% marks.
BCA is a fully Computer Based course.

So if you have interest and command on computer then you should try to do this course otherwise there is no more benefits.
After BCA you can do MCA or any other master degree as per your eligibility and interest.

BCA is Bachelor in Computer Application. It is three year vocational course.

The required eligibility to get admission in the course is that candidate must have passed 10+2 from a recognised board or equivalent qualification.

So, you are not eligible to get admission in BCA course as you have not higher secondary qualification.

YES, you are eligible to join BCA after completing DCA because the minimum educational qualification needed to take admission in BCA course is 12th in any discipline or equivalent from a recognised board with at least 55% marks for general category students and 50% for reserved category students from a recognised board.

You can get direct admission to BCA after diploma.

There are some institute that require atleast 50% marks in diploma for admission.
Some institution that offer these course are
BITS Pilani
Delhi College Of engineering
National Institute of engineering etc

It's a full time UG course and the job opportunities are far better for BCA students.
