NIMCET

The NIMCET is conducted by an individual NIT on a rotational basis every year. So the NIT that is conducting the NIMCET in that year will release the NIMCET answer key. In 2025, the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli conducted the NIMCET and hence, released the answer key.

If you find any discrepancy in the NIMCET answer keys, you can raise objections online at nimcet.admissions.nic.in. You would need to submit your objections with supporting proof. For every objection, INR 500 has to be paid online, i.e., through net banking/credit card/debit card. Authorities will not accept the objections if the fee is not paid.

NIMCET Cut-Off marks are mainly influenced by -

• Difficulty level of the exam
• Number of applicants
• Institute-wise available seats
• Category-wise reservations
• Performance of the candidate in the exam
• Last year's trends

The NIMCET 2025 seat matrix has been published on the website for everyone to view. The candidate can view the seat matrix institute-wise and category-wise.

No, there will not be any break during the NIMCET exam. The NIMCET exam will be conducted with a single paper containing 120 MCQs, and the different segments of the exam will appear to the candidate one after the other. Time assigned for each part is fixed, so there is no scope for any breaks. The candidate should complete each part in the given time only, as movement from one section to another is not allowed. 

As per the exam pattern of the NIMCET, and its rules, if a candidate marks more than one answer against a question, it will be negatively marked.

Here is the NIMCET marks distribution -
