Question: Which subject is important in class 12th in order to pursue BCA?

Dear Narendra,

There is no hard and fast rule that you have to have a particular subject in class 12th in order to pursue BCA. Students from any streams take this course and study it. But let me tell you something that can be a wise decision for you.

See, if a student is having Mathematics as his/her subject then it will defenitely be beneficial because there is lot of use of Mathematics in any computer field be it BCA or Computer science and engineering, so taking Mathematics will always be a wiser decision.

Not only this some institutes takes only those students who has Mathematics in class 12th so again this is a reason why you should opt for Mathematics.

I hope this information helps you.

As such there is no compulsary subject apart from the Fact you must have passed 10+2 from a Recognised Board, for BCA.

However, I  advise you, to pursue a MCA after BCA perhaps from some of the Good NITs, Top Public or Private Universities followed by a strong career in the IT/Software/Services Sector.

Hello Narendra,

For pursuing BCA in future the stream of an individual choice in their class 12th must-have mathematics and Computer science. But mostly PCM and COMMERCE group students opt for BCA as their career. Since BCA is a three-year degree requires an exclusively engineered mind and also for those who wish to learn the depth in this course and wanted to become a professional software engineer or get a job in the IT sector.

Eligibility: A student is required to score at least 50% in their class 12th. Many col legs require Mathematics and Computer science as the main subjects for taking admission and being English being the compulsory one.

Also, some colleges do not fix their criteria on the subjects but marks do matter.
