Given that you are in your third year of BBA and preparing for government exams like banking, it would be more beneficial to pursue a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) from a recognised university rather than a computer institute. A university-based PGDCA offers a more structured and comprehensive curriculum that is often more widely recognized, especially for government exams and jobs. The degree from a university holds more weight and credibility, which can help in securing positions with government sectors like banking, where a strong educational background is valued. Additionally, universities often offer more exposure to practical knowledge, networking opportunities, and a more rigorous academic environment, which can add value to your profile. While computer institutes may offer faster, more specialised courses, a university-based programme will provide a more recognised qualification in the long run.

The candidate from low-cut-off states might target - states with less cut-off for posting preferences as competition is generally less tough when compared to high-demand states.
