Hey so I’ve been thinking abt doing BCA n later MCA.. but idk if it’s like recognised or accepted if i ever wanna study or work in the UK or US? does it even matter there?? anyone been thru this or knows something?? 
Yes, BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) and MCA (Master of Computer Applications) are recognized in the UK and US — but how valid or useful they are depends on your goals (job vs. further study) and how your qualifications compare to local standards.
1. For Jobs:
Recognition: Employers in the UK and US recognize BCA/MCA if they are from accredited universities in India.
- Evaluation Required: You might need to get your degrees evaluated by services like:
US: [WES (World Education Services)
pro tips: project experience, skills
2. For Further Study (Master’s or PhD):
BCA* is treated as an undergraduate degree, but:- Some US universities might consider it less technical than a BSc in Computer Science.
- You may be asked to take foundation or prerequisite courses.
- MCA is usually considered equivalent to a US Master’s in Computer Science or IT.
- In the UK, MCA is commonly accepted as a Level 7 qualification (equivalent to a Master’s degree).
