The eligibility criteria for the BCA course in 2025 generally require candidates to have completed their 10+2 education from a recognized board in any stream, although having Mathematics or Computer Science as a subject is preferred by some institutions. Applicants typically need to secure at least 45% to 60% aggregate marks, depending on the college or university. While there is usually no upper age limit, candidates should be at least 17 years old at the time of admission. Some colleges may also conduct entrance exams or personal interviews as part of their selection process.
