It's a Question of your Career!

With a KCET rank of 46,000, your cousin has a fair chance of getting admission into AI & ML or Computer Science (CS) in some good private colleges in Bangalore under the government quota. Top colleges like RV, BMS, and MSRIT may be tough, but colleges like Acharya Institute, East West Institute, AMC Engineering, or T John College could be possible. It’s a good idea to apply to multiple colleges and check cutoffs in each counselling round for better chances.

Hello Aspirant,

It is typically important for a scientist at DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) to have a strong academic background in science, engineering or technology, given that BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) programme courses are more focused on the IT aspect or computer applications. However, here are some options to consider:

1. After completing your BCA, you could take a Master’s in an appropriate field, such as Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics or even a research-focused degree, or other areas of study.
2. Prepare for a DRDO exam: DRDO recruit scientists through competitive examinations, like the DRDO Scientist ‘B’ exam and this is conducted through the Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC). As you may expect, you need a strong technical background and general knowledge in terms of the preparation, as, you should focus your preparation on your field of engineering or science background.
3. Build Relevant Skills and Experience: Make sure, while pursued your BCA, you worked on a research project, an internship or had a job in any area of defence technology, software development, cybersecurity, or anything computer science related, which might build into position within DRDO.
4. Look for Other Roles within DRDO: In addition to Scientist ‘B’, there are other roles within DRDO which are technical and/or support roles, which may be found to be important to your BCA aspect.
