Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) admissions in India may be merit or entrance exam-based, depending on the institution. Some of the prestigious institutions have entrance tests like IPU CET, CUET, SET, and others to assess candidates based on topics such as mathematics, logical reasoning, and general awareness. These tests assist institutions in shortlisting candidates on the basis of their computer application aptitude and skills.
Still, most universities and private colleges give direct admission based on 10+2 marks, usually at least 45-50% aggregate, with mathematics or computer science as the desired subject. Some colleges might also hold personal interviews or counseling sessions. Aspirants should refer to the particular eligibility criteria and admission process of the intended college before making an application.
