The admission process for a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) varies by university. Some institutions conduct entrance exams, while others offer merit-based admission. Common entrance tests for BCA include CUET (Common University Entrance Test), IPU CET (Indraprastha University Common Entrance Test), SET (Symbiosis Entrance Test), and state-level exams like UPSEE or MAH CET. Private universities may also have their own entrance exams or consider national-level test scores. Eligibility usually requires passing Class 12 with Mathematics or Computer Science as a subject.
Many universities also offer direct admission based on Class 12 board exam performance. In such cases, students with strong academic records, especially in Mathematics, may secure a seat without an entrance test. Some institutions conduct personal interviews or group discussions as part of the selection process. Before applying, candidates should check specific university requirements to ensure they meet the criteria for their preferred college or entrance exam.
