Hi,
After completing BCA you have 2 options:
1.To opt for a job.
2.To opt for further studies (MBA, MCA etc)
However as per your profile I would suggest you to work for 1-2 years after completing your BCA and then opt for further studies.
The advantage of this step would be:
- You will gain relevant work experience.
- After working you will know which course to pursue that can further enhance your career prospects, i.e. if you wish to build your career in computer field, then you may pursue MCA, whereas if you are interested in management then you may pursue MBA.
- If you are interested in pursuing MBA, then this work experience would help you to decide which specialization to opt in MBA that can further enhance your career prospects, however as per your profile pursuing MBA in IT would be the best option for you.
In order to pursue full time MBA or PGDM program you need to be graduate in any field with atleast 50% marks in graduation, plus you need to take various management entrance test like CAT, MAT, XAT, SNAP, etc.
This work experience of yours will give you competitive advantage over other candidates with no work experience during MBA admission.
Plus this work experience of yours will also be an added advantage for you during campus recruitment in MBA, as most companies would surely prefer an experience candidate over a fresher for a job.
After completing MBA-IT you can make your career in any of the following fields within IT management:
- Business/IT alignment.
- IT Governance.
- IT Financial Management.
- IT Service Management.
- IT configuration management.

Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.

Hi,
No, you cannot go for B.TECH as a BCA graduate. However if you are passionate for a degree in engineering/technology, you can go for M.TECH but only after you complete MCA.
So, right step would be to pick MCA. Simultaneously you can opt for industry relevant certifications which are designed basically to provide an extra edge to an individual by giving them an in-depth knowledge in a particular area of subject.
