BCA admission in Bangalore
Sources checked 7 November 2026
BCA in Bengaluru is offered by colleges affiliated to Dr. Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University, Bengaluru North University and Bangalore University, by autonomous colleges, and by private and deemed universities. There is no common entrance test or centralised counselling for BCA; each institution runs its own application process. Affiliated and autonomous colleges generally run three-year programmes, while several universities (Christ, Kristu Jayanti, Jain, Mount Carmel, Alliance) run four-year Honours BCA, some with an exit option after three years. Fees and specialisations vary widely, so check each institution's own fee page.
Local admission route: Direct application to each college or university; merit on PUC/12th marks, with some institutions adding their own test or interview.
Apply to several colleges in parallel because application windows differ: Christ University's BCA window for the 2027 intake runs 15 Oct to 25 Nov 2026, while many affiliated colleges admit after PUC results. Check the Mathematics/Computer Science requirement for specialised BCA programmes (e.g. AI & ML, Data Analytics) before applying.
