Hi

BCA  stands for bachelors in computer application whereas MCA stands for Masters in computer application.

The difference between BCA and MCA is that BCA is undergraduate course whereas MCA is post graduate course.

In short, you can do BCA after your 12th board examination whereas to do MCA , you need to first do graduation.

Some of the top college for BCA and MCA are listed below:-

  • Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Delhi
  • St Xavier's College, Ahmedabad
  • Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore
  • RV College of Engineering, Bangalore

Thank you
