Thankyou
MLSU udaipur good for BCA , tell me because i target NIMCET for doing MCA from top NIT
Yes, though MLSU is a good choice for BCA but I would say this not the best choice that you can make at this time. If you consider the academics of this college, it is not that remarkable. The Faculties may be good but when it comes to the curriculum, future career prospectives, it is very less and confined within a boundary. You already said that you are interested to opt for MCA course so if you pursue your BCA from here, you need to stress a lot on your studies and work hard as you can't expect too much support from this college.
