BCA graduates are hired for software roles in Bengaluru, but the degree alone is rarely the deciding factor.
Large IT services companies recruit BCA graduates through campus and off-campus drives. Product companies more often filter for B.Tech or a masters, though they do hire strong BCA graduates who can demonstrate ability.
What consistently matters is demonstrable programming skill: real projects, internships, a public code portfolio and comfort with data structures and algorithms. Many BCA graduates also do MCA through Karnataka PGCET to broaden their options.
