What are the reasons to lean towards BCA over B. Tech in Computer Science?

Both BCA and BTech are very popular courses in India. While B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering focuses on intensive programming, developing new technologies and concepts, and mathematical skills, BCA focuses more on practical technologies and applications used in daily life. BTech is more about developing concepts and testing them, whereas BCA is the study of putting these concepts to use.

It is difficult to say which one of the two graduate degrees is better, because they are not only fundamentally different in terms of course content, eligibility and duration, but also in terms of the career avenues they offer.

If you have completed your 10+2 with PCM and you think you can crack one of the engineering entrance exams, then BTech is a good choice. However, if you have passed your 10+2 in Commerce, Art or Medical stream, but you have decided to shift your focus to IT, your only option is a BCA.

Both BCA and BTech graduates are industry-ready and can seek employment in IT industry or other related fields. However, BTech is a more professionally valued course, and there are more career options available for BTech graduates compared to BCA graduates. Nonetheless, BCA graduates can also pursue a MCA degree (3-year course), get the engineer tag, and better their career prospects.

Both BCA and B Tech  includes Computer Science in the syllabus, where BCA mainly focuses on computer languages, database management, operating systems, logical analysis, software design etc. BCA provides application level knowledge of computers.

Whereas B tech focuses on both the hardware and software, electrical, mechanical, Computer science and information technology.

So BCA is a good option if you are  interested in learning computer softwares, languages etc.

I personally feel  you don't have to find specific reasons to  lean towards a particular subject. If you really want to purse BCA go for it. You decide the track you want to walk in. Many might  advice to choose B.Tech and not BCA know that it is your call. While BCA makes you proficient at the application level, B.Tech makes you expert at technical level. Both B.Tech and BCA has good opportunities, I have seen many people doing BCA, all of them are now well established in life. After BCA you can work as a system analyst, programmer, application developer and so on. There are various colleges offering BCA but not all of them provide good education and teach you the skills required for the industry.

According to me there are no reasons to lean towards a BCA over a B.Tech. The fees for B.Tech is high as compared to BCA.

If yor are from BCA which would  be a very tough for getting job.Companies don't prefer them & go for B.Tech graduates. So you might have to pursue MCA as well for the same job as that of a B.Tech graduate which would waste another 3 years and also you'll have to pay fees for that course which will add more financial burden.

BCA is good career option. But these degree can’t be compared because BCA is purely application based programme, where you do prgaming designing of web ,mobile applicationswhere as in B. Tech is diverse programme where you will be learning technology, hardware,softwareand many more things. After BCA you could go for a job and by the time B.Tech graduates are out, you could be holding an year of experience which is pretty enough to compete. BCA is designed to build programing skills for developing efficient and resource optimized software/website/cloud/mobile applications.

I have pursued BCA myself so I will tell you about this from a computer application student’s point of view:

While B.Tech. (CSE) is a four-year undergraduate program, BCA takes a year less to be completed as it is a three-year undergraduate program. BCA makes you skilled at the application level of the computer whereas B.Tech. takes you deep inside many core subjects and makes you study much more subjects as compared to BCA and that too regardless of your interest.

BCA degree may get you somewhat similar job opportunities as B.Tech graduates (even much better in some cases if you are lucky).

The fee structure of BCA, even from a reputed college like Dev Bhoomi Group of Institutions Dehradun, is a lot more reasonable as compared to B.Tech.

At the end, it's your choice regarding your career & future. Hope I was able to help you.

Students who wants to make there career in the world of computer have a confusion that which degree should he persue? Actually before talking admission you should know about the difference between btech and bca study patterns. As BCA is a program which have application part of computer and view of IT companies if you have degree BCA+MCA then yoou are equal to a person who have a degree in Btech
