NIMCET is more difficult as it is national-level exam. Its focus is on high-level Mathematics. On the other hand, MHT CET (for MCA) is state-level and emphasizes speed over complex conceptual depth.

No. You must secure a positive score in Mathematics; there is no other way around. If you score 0 or minus (because of negative marking) you automatically get disqualified from ranking, irrespective of your score in other sections.

Scoring above 360 marks (~700+ weighted marks) is considered excellent and can secure you a rank within the top 100 and study at NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal.

No. You cannot manually convert CGPA to percentage or vice-versa to qualify. If your university uses a 10-point scale, a 6.5 CGPA is the minimum requirement for General/OBC candidates.

Here is how you can determine if your NIMCET score is good -
| Score | Possible Rank | What This Means |
|---|---|---|
| 360+ | Top 100 | Excellent: You can likely pick any top NIT you want, like the popular ones in Trichy or Warangal. |
| 300 - 359 | 101 - 500 | Very Good: You have a high chance of getting into a strong NIT. |
| 240 - 299 | 501 - 1500 | Good Goal: You can likely secure a spot in a mid-tier NIT. |
| Below 120 | Low Chances | Difficult: Getting a seat at any NIT is very unlikely with this score. |
