Hai Ashok,

The traditional path for becoming a software developer involves completing the class 12 with science stream most usually non medical with computer science. Then following bachelors and masters in computer science or software development.

The important skill needed for becoming a software developer is basics of maths, logical reasoning to solve a problem and then to make it understandable to the system (by studying computer science). But the formal education is not important, one can also proceed by learning the basics and concepts, by practice and internships.

Its only through practice that a good software developer is formed. There are many online platforms available that help in understanding the basics of software development and there are many available languages (Android, C, C++, Java etc) for developing softwares so one may specialize in two or more such languages.

After 12th, you can go for B.Sc. in computer science, B.Tech in software engineering, BCA. Then you can go for masters in very relevant field. But that isn't enough so you can go for coding camps, attend internships, join communities (GitHub etc) and do projects.

Alternatively, you can choose the subject in bachelors that you are passionate about and then study the coding simultaneously. This has an advantage that you can develop softwares for other fields. Let me explain by example: If you are doing higher studies in say chemistry or physics or maths you can use your computing skills to develop software for solving problems in that field. The key in software development is a lways look for problem and find a solution.

I hope you were able to catch me

Hi ashok ,

sure you can become a software developer after your 12 th .You choose course like software engineering,computer science engineering or M.Sc integrate course . There are many course in M.Sc integrate course .espeacially for software developing .You will be offer a M.Sc degree ,course time 5 years.

You will have to take up B.Tech or B.Sc in Computer Science or Information Technology in order to acquire the knowledge that is required to become a software developer. Apart from these you can also take up BCA. Each of these branches will help you to take steps towards it. The decision is up to you.
