Colleges in Jharkhand

Ranchi University is a government University whereas NIMS University is a private university. As private universities have better infrastructure, college life and extra curricular activities. NIMS is better than Ranchi University in various aspects like the faculty members are good and highly qualified. The are well-equipped with modern facilities like computer labs and all. I will prefer NIMS BBSR for BCA course. In Ranchi University, the BCA placements packages are also quite lower as compared to Naxatra Institute of Media Studies .

The cut-off of various exams differ. The number of candidates appearing and the number of candidates securing the highest marks and ranks are usually the determinant factors of cut-offs. For example, the NEET cut-off percentile is determined by this method-100xNumber of candidates appeared with a raw score equal to less than the candidate/total number of candidates who appeared. However the seat eligibitly may differ from cut-off marks. Cut-off marks may indicate the overall eligibilty of a candidate to apply for the admission but seats maybe alloted to the highest score bearers.

Ranchi University was founded in year 1960 whereas Naxatra Institute of media Studies (NIMS BBSR) was established in the year 2009. NIMS claims the highest package of Rs. 12 Lacs and average package of Rs. 4.5 Lacs per annum. NIFR ranking of NIMS is 151. It has academic collaboration with various Indian as well as international universities. According to me, NIMS  has better placements specially in media studies. 

The application forms for various courses offered by Ranchi University usually come out in the official portal of the University. The dates concerning the release of application forms depends on the courses preferred. For any all India entrance exam based course, the forms are out generally after 3-4 weeks after the exam completetion. For other courses for which University conducts merit and entrance exams, the notification regarding it is sent 1-2 months beforehand in the official portal of the University. Candidates should regularly keep tabs on the official site to remain updated with the concerned dates. 

No, candidates cannot join Ranchi University directly. It's only after fulfilling the eligibility criteria of the particular course they can get admission in to this university. Most courses are entrance based and hence, this will require the candidate to appear in that particular exam. Admission will be based on the cut-off margins of the scores obtained in the exam. The candidates are required to then submit application forms into the official portal of the University along with the exam scores. The seats are then alloted according to these applications and score evaluation.

Ranchi University offers both UG and PG courses and admission into these courses maybe entrance or merit based. Skill based courses like MBBS/BDS require NEET-UG scores and B.Tech requires JEE-Main or JCECE scores. M.Tech requires GATE scores followed by CCMT counselling. MBA requires CAT/MAT/CMAT/ATMA scores. Courses like B.Sc and M.Sc Nursing, LLB take admissions based on merits of previous qualifying exams. Admissions towards B.Ed courses are done by University conducted entrance exams. All other basic sciences and humanities courses, both UG and PG require CUET UG and CUET PG scores respectively.
