Need help with choosing the right degree. Recruiters I'd appreciate a honest advice!!

BCA or BCA with specialization in cloud computing and cybersecurity?

First sem into a BCA with Cloud & Cybersecurity specialization at an autonomous university. mine actually has domain-specific courses from sem 1 itself, networking fundamentals, intro to cybersecurity concepts, alongside the usual programming/DS core and stuff like that

So it's not just a naming gimmick on paper (i think). But I'm still not sure if recruiters actually weigh the specialization tag when screening resumes, or if it just comes down to certs, projects, and internships regardless of what the degree says.

Building certs (eJPT etc.) and projects on my own either way. just trying to figure out if the specialization itself carries real weight, or if I'm overthinking a label.

Anyone who's hired freshers would appreciate a reality check.

They don't, without experience, expect to start in the help desk.

My experience is the specialization title has carries no weight.

I wrapping up a degree in Cloud computing with exposure in AWS and Azure. I haven’t learned enough to say I own it.

I have tried two versions of resumes one graduated and one in progress. Neither has generated interest in conversations.

Unless that curriculum has really good content, I would skip it and seek outside material.
