Yes, if you want to get admission into top universities and colleges for BCA then you definitely should study mathematics in your 10+2. As the eligibility criteria for these universities requires maths as a mandatory subject to be eligible for the admission. Also, you'll be studying maths in BCA too, which is reliant on the maths taught in 10+2, so it'll be beneficial for you to study maths already in school and build your base stronger. So, you don't have to work harder later in college. Even if you did pick maths as a subject, then also you're eligible for admission into BCA but not in top universities.

The proper way to learn anything is to get comfortable with it. Practice it a ton of times, spend as much time as possible, become obsessed with it. The same formula applies for programming too. Practice it, spend time in gaining knowledge about concepts from different books, websites, videos, courses. Attend your college lectures and pay proper attention. Understand and ask what's the use or meaning of every single character or word used with-in the programme. Don't just rely on your faculty members, research on your own too. And one more time, practice. If you want to learn programming languages which you will be studying in your BCA

The eligibility criteria for BCA course is different for every university and colleges affiliated with it. Top tier universities only provide admission to students from Science and commerce stream with Maths as a mandatory subject and at least 60% marks in their +2. With all these requirements, candidates also have to appear in an entrance exam and personal interview. Generally, the fees of colleges affiliated with such universities is low.

Yes, you can get admission into BCA even if you didn't had computer Science in +2. But to be eligible for admission into top colleges for BCA you must have mathematics as a mandatory subject in +2. But getting admission into top tier colleges is competitive, and you must score at least 60% to 70% in +2 to be eligible for entrance exam and then personal interview. Without maths you can still pursue BCA but from 2nd tier colleges, which are generally a little costlier than the top tier. But the thing about 2nd tier colleges is that you can get admission very easily without taking any entrance exam and just by scoring passing marks in +2.

No, it is not mandatory to be good or have experience in programming, if you are interested in pursuing CSE. In CSE & IT both, programming languages will be taught from the basics. So, it doesn't matter if you previously had any knowledge/experience in programming or not. Your professors will spend first 2 semesters teaching you the basics of programming including syntaxes, basic input/output, loops, algorithms etc. You can begin learning on your own too from online tutorials, blogs, courses, videos, to get a little grasp on the basics, which will be strengthened when you'll attend your lectures. If you want to get access to all progra

BCA course is primarily meant for non-Science stream students to get into IT. As Science stream students can pursue CSE or IT. So, yes Science stream students are also eligible for BCA but your primary focus should be to get into B.Tech (IT), as you'll have much more opportunities as compared to BCA student. If you do not have interest in Science anymore or you're looking for much easier course, then BCA is perfect. As the study load in BCA is far less as compared to B.Tech (IT).
