Career Opportunities After BCA

Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) which was earlier known as the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) is one of the trending professional programme in today’s youth. With the coming of Digital India, Skilled India and paperless India have increased the scope in the field of computer and IT sectors.

Now computers are being used everywhere from a small general store to giant multi-national companies, but BCA is a different course which does not train you to work in a general store or marts since it has much more value than those diploma courses which you can have within a few months.

1. Indian Railways with ITI

For those who are serious in working with public sector companies like Indian Railways and other govt. agencies should take one more year with the Industrial training institute (ITI) to get trained for working with govt. agencies. Depending upon the department the course and training duration can vary from 1 year to 3 years.

2. Joining MNCs

Those who are not in the mood of starting-up their own business or not in the state to invest can join multi-national companies or can contact us with creative ideas and can be a partner with us while starting their own business. Anyways, if you have decided to work with those MNCs which doesn’t really mean much to earning after BCA are listed below

• Infosys
• Tata Consultancy Services- TCS
• Accenture

This might be awkward for most of you that’s why I mentioned above, “these companies doesn’t mean anything”? Well, you can ask your seniors or if you have already done or doing BCA about their experiences in working with these companies.

It is more of a scam running out there. These companies hire fresher and youth who have zero-knowledge and are inexperience by giving them greed of a few things:

• Master’s degree of Master of Computer Application/ Master of Business Administration
• Salary while training
• Grantee of improving your resume

3. Checking-out into e-commerce

An e-Commerce and e-business is the future of the India. In past few years online sales and commerce has shown a hike of more than 2000%, which is much beyond than our imagination. There is no legal business in the world which has shown such a growth in a very short span.

And this is the only business which gives you three ways to choose your career

• Join e-Commerce or e-Business company
• Start-up your own e-Commerce or e-Business company
• Start sales on the e-Commerce sites

Flipkart is one of the leading online stores and is almost an online mart for one stop solution in India. No business in India like Flipkart has made money. You can start your own e-commerce business with very little investment in purchasing

• Domain name (cost less than Rs. 150 including tax)
• VPS hosting (ranges from Rs. 600 per month to 5 lakh per month)
• SSL Certificates (comes free with most of leading VPS providers)
• Payment gateway (free is optional)
• CMS like WordPress or Magento eCommerce Software (free)

Though you require a lot of technical skill if you are thinking to start an e-commerce business. So, let’s make it easy and try out the sales on the e-commerce sites. Well, most of you might not be aware that on Flipkart WS Retails is one of the leading seller from the Southern India

4. Joining IT firms Software and Web Developments

BCA has endless scopes from retails shops to software development and wait a minute it is not the end of it.
