yes, they are same . but as the formula only ..
but their meaning are completely diffrent .
when we are assuming to calculate Kc then the system is already at equilibrium ,
but when Qc then its called as reaction quotient and its for that time when the system will not be in equilibrium .
u cannot use Kc when the system will not in equilibrium .
so, for that reason we want to compare .
the trends of the reaction are below
if Qc >Kc then the reaction will proceed in the backward direction ..
if Kc>Qc then reaction will be move in forward direction ..
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT ..
