With a NIMCET rank of 10720, it is very difficult to get admission in any NIT for MCA because all NITs usually close admission at ranks below 1000 for general category. Even for reserved categories, the closing ranks are mostly under 2000 or 3000 depending on the NIT.

At this rank, you will not get NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Allahabad, or even the newer ones.

Instead, you can try for MCA admission in other good colleges that accept different entrance exams. You can apply to state universities like AKTU in Uttar Pradesh, IP University in Delhi, HBTU Kanpur, or the University of Hyderabad. Some private or government-aided colleges under state universities also offer good MCA programs.

You can also appear for state-level MCA entrance exams like MAH MCA CET for Maharashtra, Karnataka PGCET for Karnataka, or OJEE for Odisha. These exams will give you more options based on your rank in those specific states.

No, you are not eligible for NIMCET if you do not have Maths or Statistics in your BCA, even if you had Maths in 10+2.

With a rank of 1740 , you can expect admission into mid-tier NITs , which still offer excellent value and job opportunities . Fill all the choices in NIMCET counselling and prioritize based on your preference and placement records.

If you belong to a reserved category (OBC, SC, ST, EWS) , your chances in higher-ranked NITs will increase.

Hello,

Indeed, you could qualify for the NIMCET (NIT MCA Common Entrance Test) if you fulfill the academic requirements set by the examining authorities. As per the eligibility criteria, applicants need to possess a Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 60% marks (or a 6.5 CGPA on a 10-point scale) for General/OBC category and 55% (or a 6.0 CGPA) for SC/ST category.

The qualification must be at least 3 years long, including Mathematics/Statistics as a subject, either at the 10+2 stage or during college. As you are enrolled in a program at the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT) for the 2023–2027 academic period, and you include Statistical Programming with R in your studies, you might qualify, as long as Mathematics or Statistics is explicitly stated in your syllabus or transcripts and you meet the minimum marks criteria.

Still, it is advisable to review the most recent NIMCET brochure or reach out to the exam authorities to verify your eligibility according to your particular course structure.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Yes, you're eligible for NIMCET if:

You're doing BCA from a UGC-recognized online university

You had Math/Statistics in 12th or graduation

You score 60% (Gen/OBC) or 55% (SC/ST)

There's no age or gap limit

Just ensure you complete BCA before the deadline (e.g., Sep 2025 for NIMCET 2025).

So you're asking about your eligibility for placements with a CGPA of less than 6.5 but more than 6, and you had a backlog in the 5th semester which is now cleared.don't worry, having a backlog cleared doesn't affect your eligibility for placements. However, the CGPA criteria may vary from company to company.

Some companies may consider candidates with a CGPA of 6 and above, while others may require a higher CGPA. It's best to check with the companies you're interested in applying to, or with your college placement cell, to know their eligibility criteria.You can also prepare for placements by focusing on your skills, project work, and interview preparation. This will help you stand out, even with a slightly lower CGPA.
