HI,

See every college has their own criteria based on reputation and all that what every they ask for. It is like two MBA college - one demand very high cutoff and another one demand Above average cutoff. Similarly, there are college that provide BCA to non maths 12th student. Once you did BCA, then you are automatically eligible for MCA. But still there are some college who demands 12th maths compulsory for MCA but there are also colleges that just demand 12th pass certificate + BCA degree pass certificate. Those specific demand (like maths compulsory) is just to manage their status and reputation and let other believe how difficult it is to get admission in their college.

Yes, BCA requires Maths as most of the universities don't offer admission to non-maths candidates as basic maths is compulsory for the same.

• But below few universities/colleges don't consider maths as an compulsory subject to provide admission in BCA program like :
  
  MDU,Rohtak
  PTU, Punjab
  Christ University, Bangalore
  Universal college, Bangalore
  
  

Also, from where you want to pursue MCA as the admission criteria varies but in case you want to do MCA through NIMCET exam then graduation degree (BCA/B.Sc (Hons.)/B.Sc/BIT) as per 10+2+3 pattern from a recognised university is mandatory.
