Hello,
No. JEE is the exam that is used for admission into undergraduate engineering programs only and the score is used for admission into the colleges that come under JEE and the institutes that accept JEE scores.

Eligibility for Master of Computer Applications [M.C.A.]:
Graduation in any stream is the basic eligibility for MCA. The eligibility for qualifying marks in graduation differs from institute to institute. Most of the institutes require 45 to 50 % aggregate in qualifying exam for taking admission. Reserved categories get some relaxation in aggregate percentage.Apart from this there is another prerequisite for taking admission in MCA degree; one must have studied Mathematics in 10+2 as a compulsory subject.

Certification is a good choice. MBA could be a better option if you feel the subjects are of your interest. The job opportunities after MBA with a good salary package is definitely high. You can also choose a different stream after completion of a year, according to your interest and choice. It is a stream where you can develop your personality and groom yourself along with the completion of the course. SPPU would be the best to do MBA.
