Is it possible to get admission for MCA after completing the third year of BCA?

No, you cannot get admission to an MCA (Master of Computer Applications) program after only completing the third year of a BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications). You must complete your full BCA degree to be eligible for MCA admission.
Some institutions offer integrated BCA-MCA programs, where you can exit with a BCA after three years or continue for two more years to earn an MCA. Standard MCA programs, however, require a completed bachelor's degree.
