A student who has slight interest in technical and IT areas is confused about what to opt between Bachelor in Computer Applications (BCA) and Bachelor in Technology (B.Tech). Though the two aren’t really comparable as one is an engineering course and the other is a degree course, yet with the growing demand of BCA and the increase in private engineering institutes, students do come up with queries like should they do BCA or B Tech. We have tried our best to clear the doubts of such students by doing a comparative study of the BCA Vs. B.Tech.

WHAT IS BCA?

Syllabus of the three-year BCA course includes subjects involving computer languages, database management, operations systems, logical analysis, software design and client server technology. Several universities offer 6this 3 years undergraduate course across India.

B.TECH

This four year B.Tech course, highly popular, focuses on bringing together the varied knowledge of sectors such as Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Science and Information Technology; the course of study is the same for every student for the first two years, but after that, students pick up their own specializations. The course combines theory with practice. When it comes to IT, the B.Tech syllabus also covers some of the material found in BCA, such as database management.

B. TechBCA
