Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) is a four-year undergraduate degree in Nepal and three-year undergraduate degree course in India. With a BCA, students can study for a masters in computer application.[1][2][3][4]
The BCA is a common degree for CS/IT students at Indian universities, and is an alternative to the engineering counterpart, the B.E/B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering/IT, which requires 4 years of study. It is a technical degree that prepares students for a career in the field of computer applications and software development, this being a professional course, even non-math students can also opt for this course, many universities offer this course in India. This is a good course for non-math student so they also can make their career in Information technology.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
