                Questions related to NIMCET

                Have a question related to NIMCET ?

                Hi Swapnil,

                Number of seats depends upon the colleges and the universities. Some of them are given below-

                1.) National Institute of Technology ( NITs )-

                • Each NIT offering MCA may have around 30-60 seats in total, out of which a certain percentage (typically around 50-60%) is reserved for General category students.

                2.) Universities -

                • State universities may have around 30-120 seats for MCA courses. The number of General category seats is determined after applying the reservation policies of the state.

                3.) Private institutions-

                • Private colleges often have more flexibility in terms of seats, ranging from 60 to 180 seats or more, depending on the institution. In such cases, the General category seats could be a significant portion of the total intake.

                Hope this information helped in solving your query. Thank you. We wish you all the best!

                Hy,

                To be eligible for the NIMCET (NIT MCA Common Entrance Test), which is used for admission to the MCA programs at various National Institutes of Technology (NITs) in India, candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria. Here's how your educational background relates to NIMCET eligibility:

                Eligibility Criteria for NIMCET

                1. Educational Qualifications:

                  • Graduation Degree : Candidates must have a Bachelor's degree of at least 3 years duration from a recognized university. This degree can be in any discipline, but it should be from a recognized institution.
                  • Mathematics Requirement : Mathematics must be one of the subjects in either:
                    • 10+2 (Higher Secondary) : Candidates must have studied Mathematics in their 10+2 (Higher Secondary) school education.
                    • Graduation Level : Candidates should have studied Mathematics as one of the subjects at the graduation level.
                2. Specific Cases:

                  • B.Sc. Computer Science (Hons.) without Mathematics in Graduation : If you have a B.Sc. in Computer Science (Hons.) but did not study Mathematics as a subject in your graduation, you will not meet the eligibility requirement, as Mathematics at the graduation level is mandatory.
                  • B.Sc. Computer Science (Hons.) with Mathematics in Graduation : If you have studied Mathematics as a subject in your B.Sc. Computer Science, you will meet the eligibility requirement.
                  • Mathematics in 10+2 Only : If you studied Mathematics in your 10+2 but did not study it in your graduation, you will meet the eligibility criteria. This is because the requirement of having Mathematics in either 10+2 or graduation is acceptable.

                Summary

                • Eligible : If you have studied Mathematics in either 10+2 or in your graduation.
