Yes, you are generally eligible to pursue a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) after a 7-8 year gap since your 12th in 2017.

Most institutions do not have an upper age limit for BCA admissions, so a gap is usually not a barrier. However, some colleges may have specific age or eligibility criteria, so requirements can vary.

- 12th grade completion with at least 45-50% marks is typically required.
- Mathematics is preferred but not always mandatory; many colleges accept students from any stream.

Check the specific eligibility criteria of the institutions you are interested in, as some may have additional requirements. If you need help shortlisting options, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
