The upper age limit for admission to a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) course differs from one university to another and also from one country to another. Most universities do not have an upper age limit, and students of any age can apply for the course. Some universities do have an upper age limit, typically between 17 and 25 years, as part of their admission requirements. Students should contact their desired university to confirm the requirements.
Besides age, qualification for BCA normally involves passing 10+2 studies from a recognized board, usually on the basis of a minimum percentage. Some universities also demand that students must have studied Mathematics or Computer Science at high school level. Academic qualification is more important than age in most institutions, but government and private colleges may follow different admission norms. Candidates over the normal age limit but possessing other eligibility standards can also be considered for entry, particularly for distance learning or online BCA courses.
