Yes, for most BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) programs in India, having Mathematics in your 12th grade is required.

- Mathematics is typically mandatory, though some universities may also accept subjects like Business Mathematics, Computer Science, or Information Practices.
- English may also be required by certain institutions.

Admission criteria can vary by university and are subject to change. If you are unsure about your eligibility based on your subjects, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for personalized guidance.
