SGT University Gurgaon BCA Cyber Security: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. BCA (Cyber Security) is a specialised track that focuses on cybersecurity-specific subjects such as ethical hacking, network security, cryptography, digital forensics, and information security management, in addition to the core BCA curriculum. BCA (General/Core) covers a broader range of computer applications topics without a specific security focus. If you are interested in a career in cybersecurity, information security, ethical hacking, or digital forensics, the Cyber Security specialisation is the better choice. If you want more flexibility across software development, data science, or general IT, the core BCA or other specialisations like AI and ML or Cloud Computing may be more suitable. Both programmes have the same fee structure of Rs. 2,00,000 per annum.

Ans. Yes, students from Commerce or Arts backgrounds can apply for BCA (Cyber Security) at SGT University. The eligibility criterion requires 10+2 from a recognized board with English as a mandatory subject and a minimum of 45% aggregate marks.

However, students from non-Science backgrounds are advised to strengthen their basic programming and mathematics skills before joining, as the programme involves quantitative and technical coursework.
