Should you pick MCA at Birla Global University?
This course suits graduates who want a software or IT job and plan to start their career in Bhubaneswar.
Pick it if:
You want an IT job in Bhubaneswar: the campus is in the same city as Infocity, where large IT services firms hire freshers and take interns.
You come from a degree without maths: the university holds a compulsory bridge course in maths and computer science, so a BCom or BA graduate can still join.
You scored 70% or more in graduation: you get a 20% tuition fee waiver, split across the four semesters, if your attendance and fee payments stay in order.
Skip it if:
You want a campus known for tech placements: BGU is known mainly for its management school, and its PG placement data mixes MBA and MCA students.
You are counting on the median pay: the 2-year PG median fell from INR 8 LPA to INR 6.06 LPA in the latest year while the batch grew.
You need a low-cost hostel: every hostel room is A/C with food and laundry, and a triple room adds INR 3.10 Lakhs over two years.
Counsellor's advice
If you have 70% or more in graduation, ask for the waiver in writing before you pay the first semester fee. If you want a tech placement record, ask the placement cell for the MCA list before you join.

In short
KIIT's PG median pay is well above this page's and it placed almost its whole batch. If you get a KIIT MCA seat and can pay its fee, take it and keep BGU as your backup.
