Hello Shagun,

After cracking the NIMCET (NIT MCA Common Entrance Test) , if you get admission to an NIT (National Institute of Technology), here's what you need to know:

1. Correspondence Option :

   • NIMCET is generally for full-time MCA programs in NITs. Correspondence or distance learning options are not typically offered for the MCA course through NIMCET. The course is generally campus-based with regular classes.
     
     
   • If you are looking for a distance learning option, you may need to explore other universities that offer distance MCA programs, such as IGNOU or some private universities.
     
     

2. Fees :

   Recommended
   • If you are admitted to a full-time MCA program at an NIT through NIMCET, you will be required to pay the regular fees for on-campus courses.
     
     
   • If you are looking for distance learning programs (in case of non-full-time studies), the fees tend to be lower than full-time programs. However, for distance MCA, you wouldn't be using NIMCET scores.

So, if you are planning to study regular MCA after cracking NIMCET, you will need to pay the full-time course fees of the respective NIT.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

No, you cannot pursue a correspondence MCA degree after cracking the NIMCET exam; NIMCET is primarily for admission into regular, full-time MCA programs offered by NITs and other participating colleges, meaning you would need to attend classes on campus to study for your MCA degree.

• NIMCET purpose:

The NIMCET exam is specifically designed to select candidates for admission into full-time Master of Computer Applications (MCA) programs at various NITs.

• No correspondence option:

Most colleges that accept NIMCET scores do not offer a correspondence MCA program.

• Check individual colleges:

While unlikely, you can always check with specific colleges if they have any unique options for part-time or distance learning MCA programs that might be accessible after clearing NIMCET.

The National Institutes of Technology (NITs) in India offer scholarships for students admitted to their MCA programs through the NIMCET exam. The Prime Minister's Scholarship Scheme (PMSS) is another scholarship option for students pursuing MCA degrees.

NIMCET scholarships

• NITs offer scholarships to students admitted to their MCA programs through the NIMCET exam.
• The amount of the scholarship may vary depending on the category of the student.

PMSS scholarships

• The PMSS offers scholarships to students pursuing MCA degrees at technical institutions approved by AICTE/UGC.
• The PMSS is available for education at various technical institutions, including medical, dental, veterinary, engineering, and MBA.

Eligibility criteria

• General category candidates need to have secured 60% marks or 6.5 CGPA in the qualifying degree.
• SC/ST category candidates need to have secured 55% marks or 6.0 CGPA in the qualifying degree.

Wishing you a great future ahead!!
