hi folks,
Is there oppurtunity to move from a developer role to a BA. If so, how can it be achieved. currently, i possess only an Mca degree.
Hi Pooja,
There definitely are opportunities and options for a developer to move into a Business Analyst role. Most developers will not be able to jump directly to business analysis to coding.
A more realistic career progression would look like this: developer -> systems analyst -> business analyst.
Check out this blog entry for more details:

As far as my experience says there is no bar for becoming BA, people often switch
to this field, if they have sound analytical and problem solving skills relating to
application/functional domain. Only additional skill required will be knowledge
and hands on experience on some modelling methdologies like SSAD or UML,
that will mature gradually from continous practice and thought process.
As for you I will say just hold on and try to apply processes in your technical ability
and look for what and why you are developing applications rather than how.
& last keep trying to face interview on BA/SA related positions! It will fetch you
more idea.
