Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% aggregate is the basic eligibility for an MCA offered at CIT Coimbatore. However, the final selection of candidates is based on TANCET followed by counselling.

• BTech: TNEA
• MTech: GATE / CEETA PG 
• 5-Year Integrated MSc: CIT MSc Entrance Test
• MBA: TANCET
• MCA: TANCET

Candidates must have passed Class 12 in Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics, or equivalent with a minimum of 45% aggregate. In addition to this, students need to appear for TNEA counselling or the Single Window Admissions System. Single Window Admissions System is used in Anna University for TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission). It is popularly known as Anna University Counselling and is part of the process via which students completing Class 12 apply and secure admission to Engineering colleges within Tamil Nadu. The important strategy is that the counselling is conducted based on rank list, if a student is present for counselling then without allocating a college and course for that student, next rank cannot be allocated with a seat.
