BCA is a job oriented degree course and you can go for job immediately after BCA in Small and Medium size IT companies. Unfortunately Large Indian IT companies and MNCs do not prefer BCA for entry level Developer and Testers role and these companies may hire for junior developer or Application support jobs. If there are no personal conditions, you are advised to complete MCA before seeking a job in IT industry. MCA graduates are treated on par with B.Tech CS and B.Sc IT grads for Application development and Maintenance jobs.

Career scope, salary and job opportunities.
For graduates, job opportunities exist in the government as well as private sector. Also, self-employment options are available. After BCA, which is an undergraduate course, graduates may take up government jobs that require a graduation degree (for example- Armed Forces, Nationalized Banks, PSUs etc).
When it comes to the private sector, software MNCs are the prime recruiters. Web hosting, IT sector, Electronics Industry are some other sectors that recruit BCA graduates. Graduates may take up the following posts in the above mentioned sectors:
Software Engineer
Software Tester
Database Management

Yes it's a good option.
But don't go for MBA just because you are not good in Maths, Maths is in both MCA & MBA.
Go for MCA if interested in Programming/IT field.
Or MBA if interested in Management.
Make sure you do MCA from good college / university.
If you choose MCA then side by side of MCA do some certifications when you will be in 2nd or 3rd year as it will help you in getting good package.
Maths is hard I know but keep learning, give your best and someday you will love this subject.
Good luck.

India is one of the largest industries for information technology. I would say there are lots of opportunities in India after finishing your BCA.
Some of the IT roles you can start with-
Technical/Desktop Support Engineer
System / Network Engineer
Software Engineer/ Developer (WebApp/ Mobile)
Level 1 (HelpDesk) Engineer
Only BCA is not a good option to progress in career.
For a successful career you need to do Masters after BCA.
You can also do other short courses like software testing, web development, etc.
Just BCA or MCA are not enough unless you have extra skills.

MBA in IT specialization is not good. But not every MBA college has this specialization.

M.Sc will be better for you. It will not only save your year but also equip you for lectureship jobs in any colleges. Completing Masters early means 1 more year to try for government jobs as per age bar and you can complete your MCA if you want to do so even after M.Sc, through distance learning directly in 3rd year. So you will have 2 Masters instead of 1, if you do M.Sc first.

To find the further job opportunities in BCA, google it, you can become an Android Developer, Web Developer, etc. But doing B.Tech will provide more job opportunities.

I think Mumbai will be costly for you. You can think of pursuing BCA from Nagpur. You can get admission easily with good practical and state of the art teaching facilities.
