BCA

Hi.

 CET (or equivalent) is required for BCA at Dahiwadi College

On a listing for Dahiwadi College's BCA admissions in 2025, the “Cutoff / Admission” page shows that BCA admission is via MAH‑BCA‑CET‑Counselling.

The same source shows cut‑off percentiles (or “closing percentiles / ranks/percentiles” for various categories) that means admission is controlled via CET‑based counselling, not purely merit (12th marks) or direct first‑come first‑serve. 

On the “admission info” for Dahiwadi College, it is stated that BCA (and other professional courses like BBA, etc.) admission procedure follows the CET‑based counselling process under the Maharashtra state admission system.

BCA (Computer Applications)

• Eligibility: Usually, 10+2 in any stream (Science, Commerce, Arts) is acceptable in most Indian universities.

• Catch: Some universities require mathematics at 10+2 (either as a subject in 12th or as a bridge course).

• Commerce students: Eligible if they have mathematics/logic/quantitative aptitude background, otherwise some colleges might restrict admission.

VISCOM (Visual Communication / Media / Design)

• Eligibility: Most universities accept students from any stream (Arts, Commerce, Science).

• Commerce students: Fully eligible. The course focuses on creative skills, media, graphics, and communication — not prior Science knowledge.

Aerospace Engineering

• Eligibility: Almost all colleges require Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in 12th grade.

• Commerce students: Not eligible directly unless they do a foundation bridge programme to cover PCM. Commerce students cannot usually join aerospace engineering directly.

Psychology (B.A./B.Sc. Psychology)

• Eligibility: Most universities accept students from any stream (Arts, Commerce, Science).

• Commerce students: Fully eligible. No specific Science background is required.

What CSJMU does well (or aims to offer)

CSJMU offers BCA with relatively low fees (state‑university fee scale), which makes it affordable compared to many private colleges. 

Course is structured (6‑semester, standard BCA syllabus: programming, maths, IT, etc.) under its regular scheme (or distance / open‑learning for those who need flexibility).

There are many seats available across campus + affiliated colleges → perhaps easier for admission (less competition than top‑tier / central universities).

If you are budget‑conscious, or coming from nearby region (UP), CSJMU can be a practical choice.

What Allahabad University offers (or could offer) for BCA

AU's BCA programme is reputed to have fairly good placement outcomes (or at least there are claims of good placement records): some sources report ~ 75% placement rate, the highest salary up to ~ ₹ 34 LPA, average around ₹ 8–9 LPA. 

Because AU is a well‑known, “older” central/university‑level institution (with legacy, reputation), its degree may carry more weight for some companies or higher studies — which could help if you aim for big recruiters or postgraduate studies.

The BCA curriculum and campus environment might be more stable (depending on department), and there may be better exposure/peer‑group than at a typical state‑university private/affiliated campus.

Hi.

Go to SRMIST's official admission portal

SRMIST's UG/Science & Humanities admission portal — accessible via “Science & Humanities / UG Admission” section. 

Choose the BCA programme (or BCA – Data Science / BCA – Computer Applications as per your interest). 

Register and fill the online application form

Fill in personal details, academic details (10+2 marks, board, subjects, etc.), contact information.

Upload required documents (scanned photo, signature, 10th + 12th marksheets & certificates, any other documents as asked).

Pay the application fee

There is an application form fee (as per latest SRMIST admission notice) to be paid online. 

Keep a copy/receipt of the payment confirmation.

Submission and shortlisting on merit

SRMIST examines submitted applications — BCA admissions are primarily merit‑based (based on 10+2 marks + eligibility criteria).

If selected, SRMIST will notify you (via your registered email / login portal) about admission confirmation. 

Document verification & fee payment to confirm admission

After you are shortlisted, you must produce original documents (10th & 12th certificates/mark sheets, ID proof, etc.) for verification.

Pay the first-year (or semester) fee to secure your seat. Only after verification + fee payment will your admission be confirmed and seat allotted.

Attend counselling / orientation (if applicable)

Some campuses or specializations might call for counselling or seat‑allocation after merit‑list. Follow SRMIST's instructions carefully once selected.

Hi.

Eligibility for BCA

Most colleges require 10+2 with any stream: Science (PCB/PCM), Commerce, or Arts.

Some colleges prefer Maths at 10+2, but it is not strictly mandatory in many universities for BCA.

Since you have PCB + Computer Science at 10+2, many universities will allow BCA admission, because you have a foundation in computers.

 B.Sc in Data Science

Eligibility:

Many universities require 10+2 with Maths because data Science involves statistics, algorithms, and computational concepts.

Since your 10+2 subjects are PCB + Computer Science, you might face issues in some universities that strictly require Maths.

However, some universities offer foundation or bridge courses in Mathematics for students without Maths in 10+2 — these can make you eligible for B.Sc Data Science.
