B.Sc and BCA are three year bachelor degree course and you are eligible to pursue both course after completion of 2nd year PUC.

B.Sc has various stream and you will be eligible to get admission in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Computer Science.

BCA is Bachelor in Computer Application and you are eligible to get admission in course. It is computer oriented course and if interested in computer and it's application you must pursue the course.

If you want to make career in computer application or in IT field i will prefer you to do B.CA after 12th from English medium. In case you have decided career in chemical , agricultural, medical , statistical field then i will prefer you to do B.Sc from government college.

Admission to both course are done in colleges mostly by direct entrance exam or by 12th merit list.

You can join in B.Sc/ BCA because you are eligible to study any courses. Since you are a science student you have many advantages like you can science courses and non science courses. There are many career options after completing PUC in science course. Some of them are listed below.

- B.Sc: In B.Sc there are different types of courses like Nursing, Computer science, Honors, Anthropology, Occupational therapy, Physiotherapy and Electronics.
- BCA (Bachelor of Computer Application)
- BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration)
- B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce)
- Biochemistry
- Biotechnology

Based on your interest you can join in any course. You are eligible for studying all the courses which are mentioned above.
The admission process varies from state to state and university to university.

Both are the good courses after 12th science. You should choose the any one in which you are most interested. You can specialized in particular area of interest in B.Sc or BCA. For admission to any course, You are required to participate in counselling process of respective university.

Specialization In B.Sc
- Biology
- Zoology

- Biochemistry
- Computer Science
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Environmental Science

Specialization In BCA
- Programming Languages
- Database Management
- Computer Graphics
- Animation
- System Analysis

- Word Processing
- Personal Information Management

It depends upon candidate's interest. Both Bachelor of Computer Application and Bachelor's degree in science are good courses. You can opt for any course depending upon your interest.

Suppose if you are interested in computer and its application then you can choose BCA for your bachelor's degree. In case if you are interested in PCM subjects then you can select B.Sc course in Physics or Mathematics or Chemistry etc.

Some colleges take direct admission based on percentage of marks in PUC and some conduct entrance exam for admission. You can get details about your desired college at its official website.

B.Sc stands for Bachelor of Science and BCA stands for Bachelor of Computer Applications.

Both the courses are 3 year Graduation level courses being offered by number of colleges in India.

But in B.Sc course there are variety of streams like
B.Sc Maths Physics Chemistry
B.Sc Maths Electronics Computers
B.Sc Maths Statistics Computers
B.Sc Maths Physics Computers

It is not that B.Sc is a good choice and BCA is not a good choice or vice versa. Both the courses imbibe you with the computer knowledge.

If you are interested in Electronics or Statistics, then you can opt for the respective stream in B.Sc otherwise you can join BCA course.

There is no entrance exam required for the candidates to get admission for any of these courses.

You need to secure a minimum of 50% of marks in your 10+2.

Soon after the completion of any of these courses, I would suggest you to opt for Post Graduation in MCA.

MCA is a 3 year Post Graduation program in Computer Science field.

Post the completion of this course, you are having good number of job opportunities in software companies.

Better to get the job in campus placements itself otherwise there is huge competition in the outside market.

B.Sc is one of the best course after completion of 2nd PUC with science. It is a three years graduation course. You can get admission in this course by directly visiting the campus under management quota.
You can apply for above course in any of the following institute:

1. University of Delhi

2. University of Mumbai

3. Rajiv Gandhi University

1. Without any hesitation you should select Bachelor of Computer Application after completion of PUC in science. BCA and then MCA has good career opportunities in Information Technology companies.

2. After BCA, you can apply for NIMCET to pursue MCA from NIT then become eligible for jobs in Google, Infosys, TCS, HCL, IBM etc.

According to me you should opt BCA as because it is a vocational course and also known as technical degree. This is computer based degree and if you should go through B.Sc then you will not get any type of advantage. As because completing simply graduation from Science stream is not beneficial in this era where every person is career oriented. After completing BCA you should pursue MBA which is a large field of private sector jobs as well as government jobs. That is why you can go for BCA. But the last choice is yours.

As per my suggestion you can get in B.Sc course. B.sc stands for Bachelor of Scinece. The duration of this course is three to four years.

In order to get admission in this course candidate must have passed 12th class with at least 50% from a recognized board. If you want to get admission in government college then you have to appear in entrance examination which is organized by the University.

If you will be qualified in entrance examination then you have to participate in the counseling. For more information you can contact at the address of college.

B.Sc stands for Bachelor's of Science while BCA stands for Bachelor's in Computer Applications. Being a 2nd PUC science candidate, you must choose B.Sc. Because it is the extension of your current education. After getting B.Sc degree, you will have so many job opportunities as well as further study options.
To get admission in B.Sc, you simply have to visit the campus and register for admission. If your name shortlisted under merit-list, then you will get the admission.

You should study Bachelor of Computer Application.

Admission Procedure:

In GGSIPU, admission is based on common entrance exam. Some other institutes take admission based on percentage of marks in 12th board examination.

You can visit your college in which you are interested and know about admission procedure.
