MCA

Hi,
MCA
The Master of computer Applications is a course that is related to Computer applications. Students who have done their BCA or any graduate degree can apply for this program. Those who would like to enhance the knowledge can opt for the MCA field. Studying this course will ensure that the student has an opportunity to augment his individual quality in creating software designs. In fact, BCA is known to be the base of MCA.
MBA
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) delivers an individual a broad range of education as well as management skills. These skills will turn out to be beneficial for students in their long run. This managerial field of study will help one know more about administration through study as well as surveillance of the current market. In addition to this, it also gives one a thorough knowledge on the economic and business system of the country.
Students who have studied MCA have a lot of career opportunities and will get the chance to work with pioneer firms abroad. The IT field requires a lot of professionals and they take in students of MCA with good experience fairly easily. While MCA trains a person for high level positions in the staff, MBA trains one for managerial positions. The subjects that are studied in either one of these postgraduate level courses ensure that students get the chance to make use of their knowledge in whatever fields they go.
One other thing that makes MCA more desirable is that students of MCA get paid more when compared to students of MBA. Besides this, with the increase of the quality of their work, students will rise quicker to senior positions within the firm they are employed. One can choose MBA after BCA if they wish to, but they need to make sure that the decision they have made will prove to be useful for them. They need to play according to their strengths and as well as weaknesses. One thing can be said without much doubt – Those who wish to take up a management job with technology companies can choose to study MBA in Systems Management. Those who like to practice a technical job in software engineering & development can choose the MCA course.

Hi,
Please remember both the course you mentioned are two different course and both offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities.
As per your query it seems that you have not done graduation, so you are not eligible for admission in MBA program.
However you may surely pursue diploma in management course, but if you wish to pursue MBA only in that case I would suggest you to first complete your graduation through distance education and once done you may then opt for distance MBA program.
As you have not done 12th as well so in that case you may opt for BPP program from IGNOU and then opt for a graduate degree.
This Programme is offered by the University to those students who wish to do Bachelors Degree of IGNOU but do not have the essential qualification of having passed 10+2.
In absence of such a qualifying certificate these student are deprived of higher education.
To enable such students to enter higher education stream, IGNOU has designed this preparatory Programme. This is an enabling programme of the University but is not equivalent to 10+2.
