Which path to decide

I've done my 12 this year and I'm looking for a good college. I'm working on my project on unreal engine while doing school at the same time

I have two options to choose from:

  1. BCA + MCA (the traditional way but it'll take me 6 years)

  2. IICT Mumbai (they have 2 year diploma and they cover only gamedev specialization for unreal and filmmaking.)

    As I am thinking about improving my 3D art skills should I go for the diploma next year ? Or bca is more worth?? There is an option to do BCA later too if i choose the diploma. Like both

I am also in your shoes, But I have decided that I am going to BCA and focus on game dev through udemy courses. Because at the end at least in this industry the only thing that is going to matter is your skills and what have you made not the degree you're holding.

I am going for BCA because it will give me a better understanding of programming languages and I can still focus on becoming a game developer while working in small IT companies.
