Hello sir I am Confused between MBA and MCA which is the better option. What is the diff bet them and is MCA is as popular as MBA.

[Shaleen]

MBA and MCA, both are master’s degree programs, and choosing one of the two is a big confusion among the students who have completed their BCA course or those who are graduated in B.Sc (IT).

Both B.Sc (IT) & BCA, have a technical background, and opting for MCA will take you to more technical career.

On the other hand, an MBA will take you towards administration, leadership and managerial career.
