MCA Vs M.Tech Course Details

MCA is a three-year bachelor's degree course and a two-year PG course in computer science and it is one of the most sorted out a course for the aspirants who all are looking to build up their future in the field of technology. Aspirants can have complete knowledge and a complete 360-degree image of what is basic and technically needed by many students. Many aspirants/candidates are always confused in MCA vs M.TECH courses. M tech. is Master of Technology (MTech). This is a professional postgraduate engineering master's degree program awarded to the candidates after completing two years of study in the discipline of engineering.

This degree is given to a specific branch of engineering. In India, this degree is offered across certain specializations and this program is of complete two years.

Which is better MCA or M.TECH?

In condition, if it mentioned that “Master degree holders in any branch of Science/ Mathematics/ Statistics/ Computer Applications or equivalent and those who are in the final or pre-final year of these programs.” Those all would be eligible to write in GATE exams. Any candidate who qualifies and has competitive scores can apply for all IITs and most of the NITs. IITs particularly less bother about earlier degrees and try to take students with an optimum understanding of the subject. The only condition that applies is one applying with MCA or MSc degree must have Maths and Science at BSc level. In case if you could not qualify for the GATE exams then please refer to Non-GATE M.Tech admissions: Points that may help! Do not forget to apply for IIITs as they are more flexible in M.Tech admissions in terms of degree and they conduct their own written tests.

Central universities also conduct their own exams for admissions in M.TECH. If you appear for entrance multiple exams you will definitely be able to qualify for one of them. This post on why to do M.Tech in general, but for MCA it has a clear advantage. Though both are master's degrees, M.Tech will lead to a master's degree in the professional course and therefore lead to higher opportunities both in industry and in the academy. Usually, M.Tech is superior to both degrees. If there isn't any job offer in hand and just looking for some course to do, many known people will strongly suggest you apply for M.Tech. M.Tech after MCA gives an edge over any other bachelor's degree in India and also makes you equivalent to your M.Tech.
