The basic BCA eligibility is to possess an aggregate of 50% or above in Class 12 in any stream (Arts, Science, Commerce) with English as a compulsory subject. Hence first selection should be of a good college which is of repute so that it can give the best academic excellence in the form of best faculty who are there to help you. Added to this, well-equipped library. Exposure of the students to the world market and a wide platform for the student to deal with the world level activities is a must. You can check from premier institutions like LPU which offers good scholarships along with good academics, it has been awarded for best placements too. SRM, a college of repute, also offers good academics. So be fast to grab your seat in the best college which gives you the best academic facilities of good faculty, infrastructure, live projects, seminars, exposure, platform, scholarships, placements etc. Online admissions have already started.

Post graduate diploma in management is definitely not same as ME. ME is a post graduate degree in engineering, whereas PG diploma in management is diploma in the different field of Management and its duration is also one year as compared with 2 years for ME. If you are doing post-graduation in engineering then you are continuing to be in the same engineering field for your career. However when you opt to go for diploma in management it shows that you want to change your career to the management side. This is a big decision that you have to take. As far as the placements are concerned I feel in both areas they are equally good. So it's actually question as to whether you will like to continue in the technical field or you will like to shift to management field that will decide whether you want to go for PG diploma in management or PG in Engineering. Best wishes to you.
