Yes, you can apply for a master's abroad after completing a three-year BCA, but eligibility depends on the country and university.
- Many universities in the UK, Ireland, and Germany accept a 3-year Indian bachelor's degree for master's admission.
- Some universities or countries may require a 4-year degree or ask you to complete a one-year bridge or pre-master's course.
Since you plan to start your master's in January 2027, check the specific requirements of your target universities.
