On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to NIMCET ?

Eligibility for the NIMCET examination is clearly defined by the participating NITs. To appear for NIMCET, a candidate must have completed a Bachelor’s degree of at least three years duration with Mathematics as a compulsory subject in at least one year/semester at the graduation level.

If your B.Voc (Software Development and e-Governance) is a full three-year degree program recognized by a UGC-approved university, and if Mathematics was a compulsory subject during at least one full year or two semesters of your graduation, then you are eligible to appear for the NIMCET exam.

Your PCM background in Class 10 and 12 strengthens your academic foundation, but for NIMCET, graduation-level Mathematics is the key requirement. Studying Mathematics only in Class 12 is not sufficient; it must be part of your bachelor’s curriculum.

Before applying, you should carefully check:
• Your university transcripts or syllabus to confirm Mathematics is listed as a subject
• Whether the Mathematics course is credit-based and part of your degree evaluation
• The official NIMCET information brochure for the admission year

If Mathematics appears clearly in your graduation records, you can safely apply for NIMCET. If not, you may not be considered eligible, even with a PCM background.

As a backup, you can also explore MCA admissions through state-level MCA entrance exams or private universities that accept B.Voc graduates with a computing background.

Hello student,

It might cause a minor issue if the name in your online application does not exactly match the documents you submitted. Usually, such mismatches are questioned during the document verification process at the time of admission or counselling. To avoid trouble, it's best to prepare an affidavit stating that both names refer to the same person your mother. You can get this affidavit made through a local notary. Also, keep any supporting documents where your mother's full name is written like Aadhaar card or any school document. If possible, inform the IPU authorities or NIMCET helpdesk in advance and ask for clarification. It's always better to be proactive.

Good luck with your admission!
