I am not new here, and i am a victim of "Khandan ka Zour"
Well that sums all up, i have done B.Com and ACCA 8 papers, but now i am like screw it man, i am not this kinda person, i am way to techy, and collegues ko dekh ker kholen uthti hai, so noobs

But i need a proof which will be my degree from that institute or else i would be called as a drop-out or B.Com pass shit head.

Hmm.. i don't know if you can do Masters without doing BS in CS first.. IF you are going to manage only on weekends how will you manage Uni?

Most masters programs have weekend classes; especially to accommodate those who work during the week.

To answer OP's question, you don't need a bachelors in CS to do masters in CS. You just need to be bachelors in general. Source: IBA admission eligibility FAQ: https://iba.edu.pk/faq_general.php

Q.​

What are the minimum academic requirements (Eligibility) for IBA admissions?

>Following are the minimum requirements for IBA admissions: > Undergraduate Programs For BBA Program> - Intermediate (minimum 65% marks), or - ‘A’ Levels (minimum of two ‘B’s and one ‘C’) - Grades of General and AS level courses will not be accepted For BS Program - 60% marks in Intermediate (Pre-Engineering), OR - 60% marks in Intermediate General Group with Mathematics, OR - 1B and 2Cs in A-Level (with Mathematics) - Grades of General and AS level courses will not be accepted > Graduate Programs - (MBA, MBA-Evening, MS) - Must have a bachelor's degree (with a minimum of 60%) from recognized university in any area of study - Minimum 2.5 out of 4.0 GPA - 16 years of education is required - 2 years experience for MBA mandatory - The IBA also accepts holders of professional degrees (B.E., M.B.B.S., etc) - The work experience is not required for admission to MS Economics program

They do require 16 years of education though. Which may be a problem considering that B.Com is a 2 year degree, but you're also partway through ACCA so that might not be an issue. Not sure about other universities. Make sure you're eligible for that. As long as you hit that mark, you're good to go. I wish you the best of luck.

You should go for MIS as you would be able to integrate it with your ACCA (as many of the financial/management computerized solution such as SAP, oracle, Salesforce and etc are in the end used by financial/management guys so being in command of both sides of spectrum would be advantageous for you) (MIS from IBA is an awesome option for weekend program) but the problem in your case in that ACCA is a certification where as B.com is a 2 year bachelor program, and "most" universities require a 4 year bachelor (i know for one iqra doesn't BUT no "wants" to go there, they go there because "have" to in case its the only option). So i would ask you to search around for more options that you can utilize for a MIS route and in case you want to opt for IBA or do something about 2 year bachelor you can go for
Oxford Brookes BSc (Hons) Degree in Applied Accounting (which cashes your ACCA and you have to write a Research project)

Yeah thats the point, but the DRAWBACK is

i am employeed and have to opt in for weekend or evening course

So i have decided to go with MCS and then MPhil if required.

Problem is weekend or evening pe kidher se kero. SZABIST - NED aint doing it

and is Maju worth it or UBIT or Usman ?

 

[Gizmo]

I dunno if it's such a great idea to go for MS in CS without doing BS first. ALot of the courses in MS will be advanced version of courses that get offered in BS and you'll have missed alot of Basic concepts and technical stuff you'll need to know for them. Might be hard.

I am in UBIT. I'd say it's average or a little below average in terms of good teachers. In terms of students, there are plenty of good ones.., the thing is you'll have to study by yourself, teachers will teach shit and you won't understand anything except for a few. AFAIK Ubit has value in the market due to its students...

 

[yahyanav]

I had studied B.Com for 2 years before giving it up for re-starting with BS(CS). Do what you like, even if it means that starting all over again.

Institutes like MAJU also offers 3 years MCS for those who have studied BBA (4 years)

Niice.., that's what you need, as people say you can do CS from the net, uni is just for the degree ;s You can safely consider Ubit as your option.. here is the link for the courses offered in Masters
Department of Computer Science - UBIT
