We study BCA means what kind of jobs we get?
Hi Nithin,
BCA, which stands for Bachelor of Computer Applications, will result if you landing jobs in the IT sector such as a web developer, web designer, computer programmer, etc.
However, with the introduction of Bachelor of Technology courses for IT (Information Technology) and CS (Computer Science) the value of a BCA has highly degraded.
Most people today opt for an MCA (Master of Computer Applications) after completing their BCA as a way to boost their qualifications in hopes of landing a better job. Most MCA candidates are considered for jobs that are offered to Computer Science and IT graduates, however the same cannot be said for a BCA graduate.
If you haven't started the course, I would suggest thinking about doing an engineering. If you are already enrolled and on the verge of passing out of college, consider doing a master's before looking for a job as it will highly enhance your credentials.
Cheers.
