I m bsc 3 year student. Which one is better for me pgdca or DCA for me? Can I do DCA and bsc at same time.

DCA stands for Diploma in Computer Applications.You can do DCA after 12th this is the study of technical board.

Whereas

PGDCA is a post graduation diploma in computer applications.Duration of this course is 1 year. You will get a knowledge in banking, insurance and accounting after this.

DCA is the study of basic computer knowledge and PGDCA is a more technical study of computer applications.
After DCA students can eligible for jobs but after completing PGDCA students become more professional in this field.

DCA is done after class 10th , it's diploma in computer application and PGDCA is post graduate diploma in computer application and can be done after graduation.

On the basis of PGDCA , one can take lateral entry in MCA and MSC IT

Many Universities provide admission to PGDCA course through entrance exam and some provide on the basis of percentage in graduation.
It provides specialisation in computer science with technical, professional and communication skills.
Thus PGDCA has much wider scope than DCA.

°°° DCA stands for diploma in Computer Application but PGDCA stands for post graduate diploma in computer application.
Post graduate diploma in Computer Application can be done after graduation in any discipline from a recognised university or Institute.
Diploma in Computer Application can be done after 10 + 2th.

°°° According to me, you should complete your graduation and after that you should pursue PGDCA course because on the basis of that you can get admission through lateral entry directly in second year of MSc information technology or MCA.

Unlike PGDCA, which focuses on the technical aspects of computer science, DCA focuses on the fundamentals of using computers.

Jobs are available to those with a DCA, but those with a PGDCA have a higher level of expertise in the industry.
