NIMCET on May 18

Doing the Master of Computer Application (MCA) course at prestigious institutes, such as the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), provide an opportunity to imbibe the academic excellence promoted by them. The 20 NITs are institutes of national importance.

Only those at Allahabad, Bhopal, Kozhikode, Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Kurukshetra, Surathkal, Tiruchirapalli, Raipur and Warangal offer the MCA course. Admission is through a common entrance test, NIMCET. The course at the institutes in Kozhikode and Warangal are conducted by their computer science and engineering departments, giving students the added advantage of selecting papers offered to B.Tech. students.

Now the admissions for the course in these NITs are being made through a common entrance test that would be conducted on May 18.

The 20 NITs are the test centres. Students can download the application form, test syllabus and information brochure from www.nitc.ac.in or www.nitk.ac.in

The two-hour test will have 120 questions -- 40 from mathematics; 50 from analytical ability and logical reasoning; and 15 questions each from computer awareness and English comprehension. Each correct answer fetches four marks. One mark is deducted for every wrong answer. The number of questions remains the same as that of the previous years but the duration of the examination was cut short by 30 minutes to two hours in 2007.
