Hello student,

You need not necessarily do BCA in order to opt for MCA. Any candidate who has done graduation in BCA, BSC, Bcom or equivalent stream can take admission in MCA. The eligibility criteria for the same is:

• Graduation in the above mentioned courses with minimum 50% marks.
• Mathematics as a compulsory subject in 10+2 or in any one year of graduation.

It is to be noted that the eligibility criteria might vary from university to university, you may check the particular college to know more about them or you can mention in the comment below, we will reach back.

I hope this information helps. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.careers360.com/courses/mca-master-of-computer-applications/amp
