I need to know options other than BCA after 10+2 if possible?
I haven't opted for math after 10th, so I'm currently only looking at BCA..
I was looking at the GNIIT course too, is it any good?

It depends on where you reside ( City / State ).
GNIIT is a good course, go for it.

Thank you for your reply.
I reside in Mumbai currently.
Parents are okay , with me travelling anywhere to pursue my studies.
I was reading one of the old threads about GNIIT, and didn't see very encouraging replies.

Not all colleges need Maths as a compulsory subject to pursue BCA.
I have checked two, CSIT pune, and GardenCity Bangalore (with good placement records), and they don't require math as a compulsory subject :)

yes, you are right!
For doing BCA, maths is optional in some institutes / universities.
IF possible, get the time-schedule from your nearest NIIT centre and check if it's possible to get both BCA & GNIIT simultaneously. Since you are staying in Mumbai, there will no problem for colleges or institutes.

sorry for the double post.
But is this good ?
BCA + MBA/MCA?
I mean, just getting BCA isn't going to get me a 'good' job with a 'good' pay. Isn't it always better to go for a masters? I was planning on MCA or MS or MBA along with BCA degree. I need your opinions guys

Thankyou for your advice! :)
Can someone tell me what exactly are MCITP/Cisco certifications? I mean I know what they are/mean, but what level of education does it require, and also, is it good?

AFAIK, you just need to be a 12th pass to do CCNA. If I am wrong please do correct me 'cause I was given this info by a friend of mine who has done CCNA though he did it after his B.E.
