At Delhi University, the Department of Computer Science under the Faculty of Mathematical Science offers MCA. You'll be allowed the department itself, not colleges. There are in total 46 seats in DU MCA and classes are held in the department itself. There's no other batch or class for MCA in DU for the same year. Only the north campus offers it when seen concerning whole Delhi University.

 

In most circumstances, no, you cannot pursue an MCA without graduating. Master of Computer Applications is the abbreviation for this postgraduate course of study. A bachelor's degree in a related discipline, such as computer Science or information technology, or even certain Science or commerce programmes, depending on the university, is usually required to pursue an MCA degree.

Direct admission into a combined BCA-MCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications - Master of Computer Applications) programme following 10+2 may not always be possible, however it does happen occasionally.

The following outlines the normal prerequisites for admission to MCA programmes:

• Bachelor's degree from a recognised university (minimum percentage may vary)
• Mathematics at 10+2 level (some universities might waive this)

For the most recent information, I advise you to verify the entrance requirements of the particular institutions or schools you are considering.

Yes people often pair BCA and MCA to land well-paying IT roles like Data Scientists, AI/ML Engineers, Full-Stack Developers, Cloud Architects, and Cybersecurity Specialists. Just make sure you have relevant skills and an impressive resume. Though people often go for job right after BCA but good companies often prefer Masters like MCA in order to offer higher roles and better packages.
