People who are doing an online MCA along with a full-time job, is it actually manageable in real life or does it become mentally exhausting after some time?

I keep seeing people say “just do MCA while working” But after work itself, won’t your brain already be dead?

Then assignments, exams, projects, coding, deadlines, placements, upskilling… how do people balance all this without burning out?

I genuinely want honest answers from people experiencing it:

~Do you still get free time?

~Does it start feeling like a burden mentally?

~Is the stress during exams really bad?

~Was it worth it for your career/salary?

Or did you regret taking it?

~Are online MCA programs actually designed flexibly enough for working professionals ?

I’ve just finished my BCA with a 7+ CGPA, but honestly I don’t feel job-ready at all. I can manage basics, but nothing that makes me confident about interviews or real work.

Now I’m stuck between doing MCA, trying for jobs anyway, or joining some proper skill development course to build myself up first.

What would you do in this situation? And how’s the job market right now for someone at this level?
