Computers & IT (Non-Engg)

If your degree is accredited by UGC/AICTE, then your MCA degree is valid.

There are multiple job opportunities available in the field of IT for BCA & MCA graduates as developer or testers. As per NASSCOM, Indian IT Industry revenues grew by 13% in FY2015 and it added 2,30,000 employees in FY'15. NASSCOM has forecasted that IT industry exports will grow by 12-14% and domestic market by 15-17% in FY'2016. IT field has still excellent career opportunities.

Commerce stream students can do BCA provided they have mathematics in class 12th. Very limited universities such as IGNOU allows students to do BCA, even if they do not have mathematics in class 12th.

You need to complete your BCA with 70% to 80% marks to get a decent university in USA. Secondly, if you want to take MBA, you have to give GMAT or if you want to go in engineering then you have to score well in GRE. Thirdly, it is compulsory to give and clear TOEFL paper for English language proficiency.

If you are good in programming and technically oriented, you may opt for MCA. If not, then you may opt for MBA in IT.

Among these optiond MBA IT is the best if you are opting for PreSales support, Accounting, Sales and Business Analysis roles in IT industries. If you want have technical career, you can opt for M.Sc or B.Tech. B.Tech IT is good if you want to have career in Apps Development. You can do M.Sc IT if you want to have career in Systems Development.

If you are already working and all you need is a degree to get promoted then going for distance course is a good option. But if you are looking to get some knowledge or want to get a job on the basis of that, then it is a bit difficult.

You will have to appear for an entrance test to get into JNU.

If you are well qualified you need not necessarily do a course. But pursuing a full time course in the country abroad gives you certain benefits such as degree recognition, post study work permit, PR options etc. English proficiency tests like TOEFL or IELTS are also required. Study as per your career plans. You will know the kind of jobs you are looking for. For more information on jobs you must refer to job portals. I don't think you will find job vacancy information here.

You may pursue MCA after BCA if you wish to continue your studies. Else, you can start working from now on as well, you will get a job for the same.
