Nitin Kumar 22nd Apr, 2024

For the NIMCET exam, subjects relevant to Mathematics will be considered as Math,  regardless of the specific name used in your BCA curriculum.The NIMCET exam assesses your aptitude for quantitative reasoning and problem-solving skills typically associated with mathematics.

i belong to RBA category can i select the OBC in nimcet exam, and get all benefits of OBC

Sajal Trivedi 9th Jan, 2024

Hello aspirant,

OBC refers to other backward classes, and RBA refers to people who live in society's backward zones. Given that there is a 27% quota for OBC NCL category students in several examinations, candidates in the RBA category may register for examinations or services tests and still be considered as OBC candidates.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

Tanya Gupta 27th Jan, 2024

Hello,

Yes, but it also Depends on the level of question paper in the examination. At least one need to score 250-300 marks in average for a general category student to clear the NIMCET examination. But as you have not mentioned any category so I'm telling for general category.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

shivamtrivedi0005 28th Aug, 2023

Hello aspirant.

You are qualified to take the NIMCET exam, yes. The results of the class of 2012 are not significant in this exam, but the results of graduation are. You need a 60% average in one subject of math or statistics for graduation. For MCA, there are numerous exams, including the BHU MCA CET, BITS Mesra MCA CET, JNU MCA CET, DU MCA CET, and MAH MCA CET.
