Hello Elakiya,

witha BCA you can pursue B.Ed inmaths if you had mathematics as a core subject during graduation. however, for M.Sc in maths, most universities require a B.Sc with maths specialization. so yes, it might be an issue unless you meet specific eligibility criteria.

Hope this message finds you well,

Thank You.

Hello there,

Yes, you can pursue a B.Ed in Mathematics after a BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications), and later aim for an M.Sc in Mathematics , but there are a few important points you should consider:

1. B.Ed in Mathematics after BCA:

• Eligibility:

  • Most universities require that you have studied Mathematics as one of the core subjects during graduation.
    
    

  • If you had Mathematics in BCA (e.g., Discrete Mathematics, Numerical Methods, etc.), you may be eligible , depending on the institution.
    
    

• Note: Some universities insist on a B.Sc with Maths for a B.Ed in Mathematics. You should check specific university norms.
  
  2. M.Sc in Mathematics after B.Ed (or BCA):

• Eligibility Requirements for M.Sc in Mathematics:

  • Generally, a candidate should have completed a B.Sc with Mathematics or a closely related subject.
    
    

  • A BCA may not be accepted for direct admission to M.Sc Mathematics in many traditional universities.
    
    

  • B.Ed is not a substitute for graduation in Mathematics for M.Sc eligibility.
    
    3. What You Can Do:

If your goal is to pursue M.Sc in Mathematics , consider the following route:

• Option A: Enroll in a bridge course or second undergraduate degree (B.Sc Maths) to become eligible.
  
  

• Option B: Look for Open Universities (e.g., IGNOU) or private/deemed universities that may offer more flexible eligibility for M.Sc Mathematics.
  
  Conclusion:

1. B.Ed in Maths after BCA: Possible, if you had maths subjects in BCA.
   
   

2. M.Sc in Maths after BCA/B.Ed: Generally not eligible directly with BCA. A B.Sc in Mathematics or equivalent is typically required.
   
   

3. Recommended: Explore eligibility criteria for specific universities before planning further.
