MCA

MCA & MBA can be good career option for you. If you are technically oriented then you may opt for MCA else MBA. You may also appear for CDS to join Armed forces. As a graduate, you are eligible for majority of Government, PSU, Public Sector Banks and Paramilitary jobs. You may evaluate appear for entrance exams also.

Both MCA and MBA are equally good career options. If you are technically oriented then go for MCA. If you are not technically oriented and not good at programming then go for MBA. Long term career opportunities and salary after both post graduation degrees are similar. You can select one among them based on the reputation & placement record of the institute.

No, MCA is not equivalent to B.Ed.

It depends on your interest, but in management field MBA has better career opportunity with large salary scale. So, I would suggest you to pursue MBA with your interested specialization like MBA finance, HR, IT, marketing, insurance, etc.

This is a common phenomenon found during campus placement where students have gap years between various educational qualifications. In case you meet all the eligibility criteria and your performance is good in selection process, then gap years are condoned by majority of recruiters.

Yes you can apply. 100% sure you are eligible.

It depends on your interest. If you want a job in business management or want to start your own business then you should go for MBA otherwise MCA has a great career.

Sorry to say but it is not enough for MCA and with this qualification you cannot achieve a good career in IT field. I would rather suggest you to go for MBA. MBA IT can give you opportunities for a career in IT field.
