BCA

You'll generally need Class 12 with Mathematics / Informatics Practices / Computer Science / Multimedia & Web Tech as one subject, and at least fifty percent aggregate (relaxation for reserved categories as per Panjab University rules). Admission is merit based through Panjab University's centralised process / college merit list, so keep your Class 10–12 marksheets, category / EWS certificate, gap certificate (if any) ready. Do watch the college + Panjab University admission portal for exact percentages, reservation matrix, and counselling dates—they tweak minor rules almost every year.
