I am doing my 3rd year of bsc . and i have a back paper of 2 nd year..can i fill the application form of NIMCET ? because nimcet is asking for 2nd year marksheet but i have marsheet in which i have a back !
Hello,
It is not clear if a candidate with backlogs can apply for NIMCET 2021 or not. But candidates who are in final year of the qualifying examination are eligible to appear for NIMCET 2021 but their eligibility to get admission is subjected to the fulfilment of the eligibility criteria, Such candidates need to obtain their qualifying examination results and certificate on or before September 15, 2021. For now you can upload all the marksheet of all semesters that you have. Make sure that you clear the backlog and obtain the result before the given cut off date. You also need to score minimum 60% aggregate or 6.5 CGPA on a 10 point scale if you belong to general category and SC/ ST/PwD candidates must score minimum 55% aggregate marks or 5.0 CGPA on a 10 point scale.
sir, in nimcet 2021 I have uploaded semester grade reports instead of CONSOLIDATED GRADE RECORD. is there any issue with that?
Hello,
You need to upload the marksheet or grade cards of all semester while filling the NIMCET 2021 application. You can merge marksheets of all semesters in a single file and upload or upload Consolidated marksheet it in the PDF format and the file size should be maximum 1MB. So if you have uploaded marksheet of all semesters, there won't be any problem because your consolidated marksheet also has the same grades and marks scored but only in a single page while marksheet of all semesters will be given separately that's the only difference. You need to upload the scanned PDF documents of the marksheet of all semesters.
should we upload orginal marksheet for nimcet? if yes, i have not received it what can i do?
Hello,
NIMCET 2021 application form has been released on March 11. As per the official brochure, the conducting body of
NIMCET 2021 , i.e., NIT Raipur has listed the documents that you would have yo upload while filling the form.
- Class 10th Mark Sheet
- Class 12th Mark Sheet
- UG Mark Sheet/ Certificate
- Valid ID Proof such as Aadhaar Card/ PAN Card/ Voter ID/ Driving License
- Category/ Caste Certificate (if applicable)
- Image passport size
- Signature in jpeg format.
All these documents should be in scanned format with the specification that are specifically asked for.
You must note that the passport size photograph which has to be scanned and uploaded has to be recent and clear.
On the other hand, the signature has to be in blue/ black ink.
And if you are still studying you can choose the option Results awaited.
But in the counselling process you have to show your marksheets.
Hope this helps!!!!
