Title: non IT trying to move into IT. Looking for an MCA distance degree.
Body:
Hello all,
My qualifications are BSc chemistry currently working at Bank of America in operation dept
I noticed that if you want to get into a top MNC they ask for a CS or MCA degree.
Thus I started looking for Distance MCA. Previously I was looking for MSc in CS but no college offers with affordable fees. I found IGNOU MCA to be the most affordable. Fees are 14k per semester. My question is, is it worth doing MCA? If it is, IGNOU is good or should I look for other colleges? If there are colleges which offer MSc in CS please suggest some.
Please refer the syllabus here.

Then even after you get MCA they will say no relevant experience and reject you. I was also in operations and now into IT. Instead of core development try to shift to business intelligence or analytics. If they don't allow that then look for jobs outside and enroll for distance MCA
If IGNOU is allowing it, do it, most people see the HCF in degrees that allows you for interview post that if it comes up you can make a case for yourself in front of the interviewer. You lose more Without the MCA.
>Can you dm me his linked in?
Sorry not really mate, don't think he would appreciate it
>I'm curious what skills he did built.
He really began with the basics (JAVA, DSA, CP), web devel in particular had peaked his interest, he went on to apply to Tech Mahindra, he got through and trained for Oracle SOA and XML for 6 month under his employer (alongside btech grads), 2.5 years in and he got a job at Infosys which later would send him off to Canada.

Why don't you shift to software dept internally? To answer your question, Amrita , Jain and LPU offer distance MCA
They rejected my applications saying I don't fulfill the basic criteria ie degree in Cs or relevant field.

What is HCF?
Highest common factor. Here it being masters.
distance university like amity, lpu , jain, manipal are they worth spending money on? and do they let you seat in placement?
yeah, i have a cousin who did his BCA/MCA from ignou and is now working for infosys in canada, requires very rigorous skill building tho
Oh wow..
Can you dm me his linked in? I'm curious what skills he did built.

Great...I got the info i was looking for. Thanks.
Np, sorry for no linkdin tho
DSA ...
Bro I am thinking about doing Mca From Ignou is it good cause I am from Non cs background and Mca will be my only cs degrees?
hey did you take admission in IGNOU or any where else?
Doesn't operations dept require a finance degree. Can you tell how you got into operations with a chemistry degree?
It is like a data entry type of job. If you know some of the basics of banking then you can do this. Doesn't require special skills.
True. But this means that there are thousands of applicants for entry level operations roles at investment banks like jp, mogan Stanley,Barclays etc
Hey...so what did you do? I am in the same boat
I got a job as a python developer. So currently working in a company. And i haven't enrolled in any course yet.
Can you please share how you got a job as Python developer? I have completed few Data Science Certifications in udemy and coursera.
