Candidates in their final year of graduation too are eligible to apply provisionally provided there are no backlogs and they can show the proof of the qualifying examination within the prescribed time frame,
hence with BCA you are eligible for IMA/OTA and in case you had studied mathematics at 10+2 level then only for Air Force Academy,
Indian Navy Academy isn't possible as its eligibility criteria is BTech.
