    Dear Friend,

    * You have completed your graduation.

    * MCA is a post graduation, whereas UPSC conducts exam for recruitment of candidates in civil services.

    * You can go for any of them as per your choice, both are beneficial to you..Infat you can go for both.

    * If you want to make carreer in civil services then you can prepare for it and also join mca for increasing your educational qualification.

    * Post gaduation will help you in preparation and it will be a plus point in interview.

    If you have interest in your subject and you want to get into it more deeply i will suggest you to go with MCA.
    As there is no subject related to computers in the UPSC exam you will have to start from beginning taking other subjects.
    But if you are desperate about UPSC ,you can also prepare for civil services examination.

    It entirely depends on your choice.If you want to study further in your field then definitely go for MCA as it has lots of opportunities in the software field.But if you want seriously to get into upsc then I believe it is the right time to start preparing for the same as it will take time to prepare other subjects and chances and age limit are restricted for General category.So now it's up to you to decide the same.Good Luck!

    to complete MCA and to qualify UPSC civil services exam , both are different.
    After completion of MCA, you can be Post graduate only but after qualifying UPSC civil services exam, You can be IAS/IPS/IFS/IES officer.

    Dear friend

    you just have to set your mind rather than listening everyone.you can just take some idea from others but you should have your own decision

    both the fields are good and both are having their own importance if you think you are ready for giving the exam and you are completely prepare your self for upsc then go with upsc because the competition is going tougher and tougher otherwise mca is a good option

    You are eligible for both MCA & Civil Services.
    If you are interested in pursuing post-graduation then you should apply for MCA.
    If you want to apply for job apply for Civil Services.
    As per my suggestion complete your MCA first then apply for UPSC because you can apply for Civil Services even after completing your MCA.
    All the Best!

    Re: Should I go for MCA or UPSC(Civil Services) exam after completion of my BCA degree?

    Hi Aspirant

    Well both have their own features

    As Upsc stands for the union public service exam

    For the posts like Ias and Ips

    And on the other hand

    MCA Means Master In Computer Application

    And you can join private sector after doing mca as

    A software engineer and your future will be secure

    And from upsc you can apply for the exam as now

    As your Bca graduate degree is now complete

    And for the upsc exam just need to be pass in graduation

    From a recognized indian university

    So now it will depend on you which option

    You want to choose as MCA Or Upsc

    Choose the option which suits you and which you like

    Best of luck

    dear friend,

    both MCA and UPSC(civil Services) are good after completion of my BCA degree.
    but these two are totally different. Through MCA you go to higher studies and through UPSC you go for job.
    now its depend on you that you want to Higher in study or want to go for JOB.

    if you want to go for civil services you have the options of getting jobs in India's most prestigious posts like IAS and IPS officers.



    Good Luck...........

    Dear,
    we can't force you ,

    it is fully depend on you if you want to read more about the computers and want to become a master of computer than you should go for mca .

    But i advised you to write for civil services examination also because once you get job of this type than every thing you want to do it will be easier to you.

    according to me if you are passionate about becoming an ias then you go ahead with Ias exam.don't forget that you require lot of dedication and hard work to clear it. if you aren't that much serious about Ias then go ahead with mca. but remember my friend there is lot of difference between being a ruler and being ruled. the choice is yours

    Re: Should I go for MCA or UPSC(Civil Services) exam after completion of my BCA degree?

    It completely will depend with your choice.If you intend to analyze more in the arena next definitely opt for MCA the way it has lots of prospects within the software package field.But if you'd like critically to get into upsc next I really believe it is the right time to start out getting ready for just like it will take time frame to make additional topics in addition to chances in addition to age group reduce will be constrained to get Typical category.So now the choice is yours to choose the same.
    in respect in my opinion when you are keen about becoming an ias next your going ahead of time by using Ias exam.don't fail to remember this you need lot of dedication and hard try to apparent it. in the event you will not be a whole lot of intent on Ias then go ahead of time by using mca. fresh fruits my best mate there's lot of distinction between becoming a leader in addition to getting ruled.
