Hi Robin,

The eligibility criteria for BCA is that the student can be from any stream with Math as a subject and scored min 50% in 12th.

If you are keen on taking computers you can go for courses that are offered by GNIIT or Jetkings. For an additional edge you can also do certification courses that are recognized in the industry. These certifications are offered by Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, Oracle etc.

Hope this helps!
