Hy,

Yes, you can pursue a Master’s in Computer Applications (MCA) after completing a B.Sc. in Food Technology. While a B.Sc. in Food Technology is not a traditional background for an MCA, many institutions offer flexibility in their admission requirements.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree : Typically, you need a Bachelor’s degree in any field to be eligible for an MCA program. A B.Sc. in Food Technology meets this basic criterion.
• Mathematics Requirement : Many MCA programs require that you have studied Mathematics at the 10+2 level or during your undergraduate studies. If your B.Sc. in Food Technology includes Mathematics or if you studied it at a higher secondary level, you should meet this requirement.

Institution-Specific Criteria

• Different Universities : Admission criteria can vary between institutions. Some universities or colleges may have specific requirements or may conduct entrance exams for admission into their MCA programs.
• Entrance Exams : Many MCA programs require you to pass an entrance exam, such as the NIMCET (National Institute of Technology MCA Common Entrance Test), state-level or university-level entrance tests.
