Mechanics

Choose Thapar with Mechanical branch which will be worthwhile than the other two colleges. Best wishes.

Hi,
Both are different as BCA (Bachelors of Computer Application ) is mainly targeted for programming applications and have no other branches as far I know but B.Sc (Bachelors of Science) have many branches like B.Sc Agriculture, B.Sc CS B.Sc IT, B.Sc Bio, B.Sc Math etc. You can choose B.Sc IT or B.Sc CS, if you want to do B.Sc instead of BCA, and want to be in computational field and learn IT/Computer Science. There is difference in both BCA and B.Sc IT/CS syllabus. If you want to be a purely programmer you can do BCA + MCA or B.Tech CS. Thank you.

It should continue with those who are already pursuing through distance learning.

The admissions have already started and seats are getting filled. Classes would start from July. So, I guess you are late. You should immediately try for some private colleges.

Yes, according to me, you should go for IIIT and not for IIT as CS has more scope than mechanical and the college doesn't matter in comparison to branch, what will be the benefit if you get a job in mechanical and not get promotion due to its very less scope.

Good Luck.

Yes, you can do this course after B.Tech in mechanical engineering. You are eligible for this. Good luck.
