Hello,

Yes, you can do BCA even if you didn’t take IT as a subject in your state board. Most colleges only require you to have studied Maths or Computer Science at 10+2 level. IT as a subject is not mandatory.

Hope it helps !

Hello! Yes, you can definitely do a BCA course even if you are from a state board and don’t have IT or Computer Science as an optional subject. Most universities and colleges only require you to have passed 12th from a recognized board with Mathematics or sometimes just any stream with English as a subject. Having prior knowledge of IT is not compulsory because the BCA syllabus starts with the basics and gradually covers programming, databases, and computer applications. So, you can surely go ahead with BCA without any issue.

Yes, it’s generally possible to do a BCA course even if you haven’t studied optional subjects like Mathematics in your state board 12th exams. Most BCA programs accept students from any stream (Science, Commerce, Arts) as long as you pass 12th from a recognized board with a minimum percentage, usually around 50%.

However, some colleges might have a preference or require at least English as a compulsory subject. While having Mathematics or Computer Science can help in entrance tests or understanding the course, it isn’t always mandatory for admission in every college for BCA.

So, without optional subjects like IT or Maths, you still stand a good chance to get admission in many BCA courses, especially in colleges that accept merit-based admissions from state boards.
