Is MCAs from NITs worth it after BCA or would relevant skills make up for it in the industry?

Are MCAs in general worth it after BCA?

Specifically are MCAs from NITs worth it? Do they get same packages as that of CSE students? What is the average MCA package at NITs?

I currently have a job (>1 yr industry exp) I am learning a lot on the job (tech and non-tech). My TL and managers are happy w me in general. I'm also learning other stuff (MERN stack) at the moment.

I've been contemplating about this for a while.

I. Factors that personally discourage me from pursuing an MCA:

a. MCA is usually 2 years (3 years at NITs) b. Syllabus is more or less the same when compared to BCA. A few extra courses/electives maybe added. c. Opportunity cost - I will be missing out on 2 or 3 years of salaried income. d. How would the ROI (return on investment) look like? f. I'll have to prepare for entrance exams (NITs) along with my job. e. I may be able to match college placement packages by being in the industry for 2-3 years. Afaik average package is 4-8 LPA after MCA at non-NIT colleges.

II. Factors that make me want to pursue an MCA:

a. My extended family and relatives will shut up. (No pressure as such from my parents) b. Might look good on resume to future employers. c. I may not be able to match the college placement packages despite being in the industry for 2-3 years (depends on my personal commitment to skilling up and the market ofc)

Any inputs would highly be appreciated and would help me analyse better!

Thanks :)
