r/BCA_MCA

​

Hello everyone, I decided to do bca because of these reasons now I'm regretting it.

I'm from a science background (Physics, chemistry, maths and computer science)

Basically I got four advices:

1. Do btech from a private college

2. Do any 2 year degree then get a job

3. Prepare for jee again and boards (60% in cbse)

4. Do bca with rcat courses

I didn't get good numbers so I didn't choose any private college for btech as I can't reduce fees much and don't want to be a burden to my family. They weren't allowing for drop so that's cancelled too. And I couldn't appear for CUET due to some personal problems.

At the end I chose biyani college as it was near my home. I know college is for fun but.... I want to learn skills. Its Being over 1 month classes are getting cancelled some teachers remain absent and they are not getting free from their cultural events. I can't even lean throughwards college.

What I should do ,I keep convincing myself only 3 years "jhel le bas " but at the end of the day I'm learning everything by myself.

I really want to quit this college but I can't even say this to my family. Maybe I should have chosen an art college.

I also have this last one idea:

If I give boards as a private candidate next year and give sat exam and apply for study abroad while doing my bca. Should I go for this last chance to improve my situation atleast. If I get more then i can apply for a scholarship as well.

Help me someone!!!!!!!

I am bca 2nd year student 17M what I can do with the degree anyone would suggest me to best online compilers so I can use it on my windows 7 laptop I learning now data analyst course from alex the analyst he is best teacher on youtube for that but cause of that slow or useless laptop I don't know what f**k gona happen to me.i have CGPA of 8.30 in first year it will help me in future or not

I’m genuinely confused about what career path I should take and would really appreciate some honest advice.

I completed my BCA in 2026, but I’ll be honest: during BCA, I mostly studied theory for exams and only did a little bit of coding. I was preparing for banking exams alongside my degree, but I eventually lost interest in that path.

I’m currently doing my MCA (first year), and I’ve now started seriously learning technical skills. I’m studying HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, Spring Boot, and Angular. My goal is to become good enough to get an entry-level job as soon as possible and then continue learning and improving through experience.

However, I keep hearing that there isn’t much of a future in web development because AI is going to automate a lot of it. This makes me worried that the time I’m investing in frontend/backend development might eventually go to waste.

At the same time, I feel like waiting until I figure out the “perfect” future-proof career could leave me stuck without any practical experience. I’m thinking that maybe I should learn web development properly, get an entry-level job, gain real industry experience, and then gradually move toward areas that are less likely to be heavily affected by AI.

So my main questions are:

1. Given my background, am I making the right decision by focusing on Java + Spring Boot + Angular?

2. Is web development actually becoming a bad career choice, or is the nature of the job simply changing because of AI?

3. Should I focus on getting an entry-level developer job as soon as possible, even if the field may change later?

4. If I continue with this path, what skills should I prioritize so I’m not just learning things that AI can easily replace?

5. What would you recommend someone in my exact situation do over the next 1–2 years?

I’m looking for realistic advice rather than “just follow your passion” or “AI will replace everything.” I’m willing to put in the work; I just want to make sure I’m investing that work in a sensible direction.

I'm currently in my first year and I'm not sure about bca but I've taken admission thinking I'll get high paying job compared to other medical courses but now I feel left out and also I'm not good in studies as well. What should I do ? I'm in mmdu (deem to be university Ambala) please help me out if someone knows about this !!!!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a drop-year student preparing for a competitive exam, which is going to be held in the first week of June. I took this year off after completing college, so my main focus right now is exam preparation.

I’m also going to turn 21 in the next 14 days, and there’s something about my health that I’ve been increasingly concerned about.

My weight has increased a lot. I’m around 5'5–5'6" (not completely sure about the exact height), and my weight is now close to 100 kg. I know this is something I need to work on because it’s starting to affect me physically and mentally as well.

I’ve done some research about weight loss on my own, but honestly, I’m getting confused by all the different information online. So I wanted to ask people who have actually gone through something similar.

What my current routine looks like

I usually wake up by around 8:30 AM at the latest.

I have tuition around 10 AM, so I leave for that after having a basic breakfast, which is usually chai and bread.

I come back around 12:30 PM. Until around 2 PM, I usually relax a bit, watch TV/YouTube or a series, and have something to eat. Sometimes I have fruits like an apple or pomegranate, and sometimes I drink juice that my mother makes.

From around 2 PM, I start studying.

I usually study in a 3–4 hour block without really checking the time because, as a drop-year student preparing for a competitive exam, I feel like there is always pressure to study more.

After that, I usually make myself some evening tea and have something like bhujia or another small snack.

Then I go for a walk for around 1–1.25 hours.

After coming back, I either attend my evening class or continue studying. This usually goes on until around 11–11:30 PM.

Then I have dinner, which is generally normal Indian home food — dal, rice, sabzi, roti, etc. Most of the time I eat dal and rice.

If I continue studying late at night, I sometimes get hungry again and might make Maggi or eat some of the dinner that was prepared at home.

And then the cycle repeats the next day.

My main problem

I do want to lose weight, but I also don’t want to make some extreme diet or exercise plan that takes so much time or energy that it starts affecting my preparation.

I’m already walking for around an hour every day, but I’m not sure whether my diet, meal timings, snacks, late-night eating, and overall routine are working against me.

So I wanted to ask:

If you were in my situation, what would you change first?

- What should I realistically change in my diet?

- Should I continue with the 1-hour daily walk?

- How should I handle late-night hunger while studying?

- Is it possible to lose a significant amount of weight during a drop year without compromising studies?

- And for someone who has been mostly inactive and has gained this much weight, what would be a realistic approach?

I’m not looking for a crash diet or some “lose 20 kg in 3 months” plan. I want something sustainable that I can follow while preparing seriously for my exam.

If anyone here has been through a similar situation — competitive exam preparation + weight gain + long study hours — I’d genuinely appreciate your experience and advice.

Thanks!
