I,Myself had done B.Sc computer science for 1 year before i decided to quit it and go for engineering instead.

This course that is on par with B.Sc IT and B.Sc Computer science.Many universities say that their curriculum is almost the same as that of Engineering B.E Computers and B.E Information Technology.

The advantage of doing an BCA is that it is much easier than engineering and also it is one year less than the four years of engineering.

Eligibility

Since this is a senior college course,you need to have done your 10+2 or HSC or equivalent state board exam from a recognized university to gain entry into this course.

It is better to apply to the same college from which you did your junior college years as you will have a greater chance of getting admission into BCA.

Job Scope in foreign countries

IF you do BCA here and then do another small course in a foreign university,you will mint money,trust me.The reason why i say to do a small one year course in the foreign university is for tow reasons:

1.Firstly you will get a work visa directly after completing this course from a foreign university.

2.Secondly you will get a credential from that country itself,which holds alot of value.You Indian degree will also hold good but the foreign one will add more value to it.
