 BCA ( Bachelor of computer application) is an undergraduate computer course for three years which is generally divided into six semesters. This course provides students, information in depth to the subject along with practical knowledge making them handle software easily.  The increasing growth of information sector in our country, demand for BCA students is also increasing. Companies want youth with high efficiency to get employed with them.

B.tech ( Bachelor of Technology) is an undergraduate course of 4 years which is further divided into 8 semesters.
