Computers & IT (Non-Engg)

There is a common myth that only Science stream candidates can apply for the MCA course. This is not correct. Anyone who had Maths as one of the subjects in 12th can apply for the MCA course. Masters of Computer Applications is a post graduate course in the field of computers which is ideal for students who love computers. The MCA course will make you expert in the fields of:
Programming Languages
Application Software
Networking
System Management
Hardware Technology
Apart from what I wrote in the beginning there are some other requirements to get admission for MCA course:
1. You should have Maths as one of the subjects in 12th board or graduation course.
2. You must complete graduation from a recognised university.
3. You need to score around 50-60 percent marks in graduation course. This criteria is different for each entrance exam and university. Therefore please check with the university you wish to apply.
4. If you meet the requirements 1,2,3 then you can appear in almost every single entrance exam for MCA. Basically there are several entrance exams for MCA course. Some universities even conduct exam of their own. Try to pass the MCA course with at least 60 to 70 percent for job in good MNC. Most leading IT companies would not accept a candidate who has scored below 60 percent marks in Masters of Computer Applications course. However apart from MCA. Your performance in 10th, 12th and B.Com would also be evaluated. If meet the requirements, you can get job in IT companies like:
Microsoft
Dell
Intel
HP
IBM
Google
Infosys
TCS
Tech Mahindra
HCL
Wipro.

Generally, any student, regardless of his study background can get into a BCA course. Some colleges do segregate according to Maths and Non Maths students, as some colleges do give admissions to the students having Maths as a class 12th subject. But, being a Science Biology student won't make a student, at least in the admission process. Keeping in mind that you have a science Biology background. And, BCA is a computer oriented course, you will or might face some problems that the students of commerce/computer and science/CS students do not face.
Having prior knowledge of computer is an advantage for the CS students, as the first month of college will be very easy for them. But, for a non-computer background, it is important to be regular cover up the topics. Also, one has to keep interest in computer technologies and updates.
So, ultimately anyone can do a BCA course. You just have to be regular in the starting, as it will be new for you.
