I don't have Mathematics as one of the major subjects in my Higher Secondary i.e. in my 12th. So, will it be possible for me to take admission in BCA? Do all college ask for Maths or are there any college who don't consider Maths as a compulsory subject?

Yes, it is not compulsory to have Mathematics in 12th std to get admission in BCA course.

BCA is Bachelor in Computer Application and the required eligibility to get admission in course is that candidate must have passed 12th from a recognised board.

But, in some of the institutes it is necessary to have Mathematics and English as main paper to get admission.

BCA refers to Bachelor of Computer Application and as the name suggests same is an undergraduate degree course of three years with a good career scope in software world.

As far as you are concerned about the requirement of Mathematics as a main subject at Class 12th level academics for pursuing BCA degree course then, I would like to let you know that for pursuing BCA degree course the minimum educational qualification required is a higher secondary school degree in any stream (but with English as a main subject) with at least 50% marks from a recognized board of education.

So, you can certainly pursue BCA degree course even if you have not studied Mathematics in your Class 12th as all colleges do not ask for Mathematics as a main subject at higher secondary school level.
