How is the BCA in Bangalore University?
Posted On - Nov 30, 2021My brother is a BCA graduate from Bangalore University with four years of experience in the Software Industry. He was the gold medalist of his batch. At present, he is at the same pay and designation as his BE counterparts. However, he had to face some circumstances which proved to him the significance of one’s degree.
He applied to Georgia Tech University through Udacity, for an MS. However, his application was rejected because the university requires at least 4 years in UG from its applicants. Next, he applied for a well known product based company through referral, and was not even shortlisted for the interview.
Upon enquiring, he got to know that only B.E./B.Tech graduates were being considered by the company. Between him and his colleague, the latter was preferred for an onsite opportunity because that person was a B.Tech graduate.
According to my brother, if you wish to pursue BCA, do complete your higher studies before entering into the IT industry. As far as Bangalore University is concerned, it is a good institution for anyone who is ready to put in the hard work.
BCA at Bangalore University is not a good option for your career. Here are some reasons to support this statement:
- The BCA syllabus it follows is outdated.
- You will be learning about things which will have no practical use in your career.
- The faculty members are also not enthusiastic about teaching new topics.
- Same projects are given to the students every year.
- Securing a job after graduating with a BCA is tough.
- Because the jobs you will be applying for will require your skills and knowledge about the subject.
- If you are not updated with the changing trends of the industry, it will become tough to secure a job.
It is suggested that you go for an MCA after completing BCA to get better job opportunities. Also try for VTU rather than BU because they are said to provide better education.
