A BCA graduate is a software programmer armed with the knowledge of scripting as well as programming languages like C, C++, Java, HTML, PHP etc. whereas BTech graduate has detailed knowledge of both hardware and software. Tech. is a four-year undergraduate program; BCA is a three-year undergraduate program.

BCA is a 3 yr degree course on computer related programming and languages. You may need to appear for CET examination. B.Tech syllabus is a far more comprehensive and professionally valued course than BCA, primarily because it delves into a lot more subjects than BCA. ... BCA is a good platform for higher studies.

Hi there

Difference Between BCA vs B.Tech

A BCA graduate is a software programmer armed with the knowledge of scripting as well as programming languages like C, C++, Java, HTML, PHP etc. whereas BTech graduate has detailed knowledge of both hardware and software.

BCA makes you adept at the application level of computers whereas BTech makes you proficient at the ‘technical’ level (Software, Hardware, applications etc.)

Btech in Computer Engineering is focused on intensive programming, developing new technologies and concepts, and mathematical skills. CS Engineers develop concepts and test them.

On the other hand, BCA programme is designed to build programming skills for developing efficient and resource optimized software/website/cloud/mobile applications.

Scope for Higher Studies after BCA

For better job prospects and to be labeled as an engineer, they can also go for MCA or M.Sc (IT) degree. Many students also go for MBA degree after completing BCA to get a managerial knack. This combination of BCA and MBA fetch them better jobs in managerial positions in IT as well as banking, retail, airlines, or logistics.

BCA offers an advantageous syllabus outline for programming enthusiasts who can supplement their knowledge with a master’s degree.

For BTech

Software industry openly welcomes engineers. It has work related to coding (C/C++, Java,.net etc.), database, testing etc.

Nowadays, PSUs like ONGC, BHEL, SAIL, IOCL etc. recruit engineers based on their GATE score. There are near about 18 government sector companies hiring young engineers.

The engineers can also sit for competition for Bank officers, SSC exams, Indian Army through University Entrance Scheme(UES), and Air Force via Air Force Common admission test (Afcat)

Hope this helps.

Hello

BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications): The course will teach you how to directly apply the technology to develop software applications without going much deeper in technological/ scientific details. A BCA graduate will know how to develop a software application using .Net/ Java and database technology.


BE ( Bachelor of Engineering): The course will focus on in—depth knowledge of Technology. Course structure focus on study of technology/ engineering rather than its application. BE student will have to study the application of technology apart from the course work if he wishes to be employed in software development MNCs.

B tech comes under engineering where as BCA doesnt.

It is a bachelor of computer application program which doesnt cover much of mathematics the way that engineering does.

Computer science engineering is a degree in engineering itself .

BCA is more into algorithms and software of a computer.

Btech covers all aspects
