The B.Sc (CS) course mainly focuses on the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing, rather than teaching specific technologies that may quickly become outdated. The course prepares you for higher education.

Another thing to consider when comparing BCA & B.Sc Computer Science is that BCA is more professionally oriented; it prepares you for post-graduate or research work and also creates professional manpower for problem solving through application of computer science at the interface of business and technology. BCA can also be pursued via distance learning. It covers:

• computer science,
• programming,
• database design,
• software engineering,
• networks
• and information systems
