I have passed out Maharashtra Board S. S. C. Exams with 65.60 %. Maths is my weakest subject. I am interested in Computer Science but for that I have to take Science stream which is full of maths. Other option is that I take commerce stream and do BCA afterwards and then MCA. I know BCA value is much less than B.Tech. I have good computer knowledge and I'm currently Comptia A+ certified. I am know preparing for Cisco CCNA. I also have good knowledge and experience in HTML/CSS/Jquery/PHP & Wordpress CMS. I have hacked few sites by finding exploits in it. So, I am only interested in computer field. Please suggest me what and how should I do? Thank you!

If you want do BCA , MCA
Then maths is important subject
Entrance syllabus of MCA contain 80- 90% maths
Also you will study maths all three years of BCA

Well since you are so passionate about computing I'd suggest opting for PCM and pursuing engineering. Work hard for 2-3 years and you'll redeem the long-term rewards.

Interesting, what exploits did you find in those websites? If you don't mind, can you name those websites?

My friend suggested that I do 3 Years Diploma in Computer Science from a Polytechnic College and later do a B. Tech with a lateral entry in second year. He says it will be more easier than doing PCM for 2 years in Junior College. I am pretty confused now. What should I do?

I understand still the level of maths will be less than I will face in Science stream. Also, I feel that all my time will go in studying PCM.

Most of the sites were using older version of MySQL and PHP. Sorry, I cannot but they were not high traffic sites.

It will be +2 level maths or even higher

I have decided on commerce. I will further pursue BCA and then I want to do MCA from NIT Trichy or IIT Roorkee. This way I will get a good salary package later. I wanted to do B.Tech but I think science is little beyond my aptitude. What do you guys think about my decision?

If you want to do BCA and MCA then science stream is not required
You can even do BCA with arts stream
But it will be better if you do commerce or arts with maths
