Dear friend,
MCA is the master of computer admistration course of 2 year duration which you can do after BCA course,but for these course you must have maths in your 12th class.

M.Sc is the master in science course of 2 years which you can do after B.sc course.

Through both course you can do your higher studies and get the degee of masters.

>> MCA : Master of Computer Application
>> M.Sc : Master of Science
> MCA is a course where students other than B.Sc computer science or B.Sc computer technology can do. MCA is better than M.Sc as many companies wanted the guys for MCA rather than M.Sc.
MCA and M.Sc, both are master's degree, the difference is just in the duration of course. Both courser provide good software skills but it is better to go witg MCA.

MCA stands for Master of Compute Applications. This is a 3 year Graduation program in the field of IT being offered by several colleges in India.

M.Sc stands for Master of Science. The duration of this course is 2 years.

In your M.Sc course, you can opt for several subjects like

M.Sc in Computer Science
M.Sc in Mathematics
M.Sc in Physics etc.

You can choose the area with which you want to do M.Sc course.

Such a kind of facility is not there for MCA course.

There will be good career scope and job opportunities for the candidates after completion of MCA course when compared to M.Sc candidates.

Many of the IT companies will hire MCA candidates and only some companies will hire M.Sc candidates.

You will be having more exposure to subject knowledge in MCA course than in M.Sc course.

As you have completed BCA course, my suggestion would be to opt for MCA course at your Post Graduation level.

Choose the Entrance Exam and know the syllabus for the same.

Get the required books and model papers and prepare well for them.

Get good rank in the Entrance Exam so that you will get admission for this course in a top college which will further benefit you in getting job through campus placements itself.

Wish you all the best.
