BCA is an undergraduate course of three years, which deals with computer science, software development, and IT applications. The charge varies widely based on the institution it is being taken in. The fees are less in government colleges; normally it starts around ₹20,000 to ₹1,00,000 a year. Private universities and well-known institutions like Amity, Christ University, and Symbiosis charge more than that, as much as ₹1,50,000 to ₹3,00,000 per year. Additionally, some universities give merit- and need-based scholarships that greatly lower the cost of attending university.
Other than tuition fees, students also need to factor in other costs such as examination fees, hostel charges, and course materials. Some universities provide installment payment options or educational loans to assist the student in handling the cost. International institutions offering BCA programs may charge fees ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 per year, depending on the country and ranking of the university. The BCA course should be chosen with regard to affordability, quality of education, and job opportunities after completion.
