Sir actually I'm getting a seat in SRM ktr cse core , and I'm getting a seat bca in vit vellore.. can i take BCA and pursue MS in abroad or should take b tech cse core.. I'm average in studies not that great.. I like cybersecurity sides.. what to choose sir.. I want to earn also average of 7-12.. pls tell me sirr..

Ans: You have two choices:
1. B.Tech CSE Core at SRM Kattankulathur
2. BCA at VIT Vellore
B.Tech CSE at SRM KTR
• 4-year course with strong technical base
• Recognized everywhere — good for both jobs and MS abroad
• Has subjects like coding, networks, OS, and cybersecurity basics
• Easier to get internships and placement offers
• If you study well and do some extra projects, ?7–12 LPA is definitely possible in 4th year
BCA at VIT Vellore
• 3-year course, lighter than B.Tech
• You can still go abroad for MS, but you may need to do extra studies (like MCA or a diploma later)
• Jobs after BCA are less in number and lower in salary (?3–5 LPA avg)
• You’ll need to work much harder to reach cybersecurity roles
Recommended - Go for B.Tech CSE at SRM KTR
• It gives you more chances for good jobs, internships, and a strong base for cybersecurity
• Easier to explain your background when applying abroad for MS
• Companies prefer B.Tech for core tech roles
Even if you're average now, B.Tech gives you time and structure to grow. Start small, build skills step by step.
