NIMCET

Candidates admission into NIT is based on depending on your All India Rank (AIR); top ranks (under 100) usually NIT Trichy or Warangal which are top NITs. Mid-range ranks (500–1500) get placements in mid-tier NITs like Raipur, Agartala, or Jamshedpur.

The NIT MCA Common Entrance Test (in short called as NIMCET) is a national-level enteance exam which is conducted to shortlist candidates for admission into Master of Computer Applications (MCA) programs at participating NITs and IIITs. It is conducted once a year and each year, different NIT conducts the exam.

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.

The NIMCET exam is considered as a moderately difficult entrance test because only about 2% of test-takers secure a seat in top NITs.

The HBTU NIMCET Cutoff 2024 was released for admission to the MCA course. The cutoff was published for various categories under the All India quota.

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.
