Hi,

If you have completed B.Sc. in Computer Science and are interested in pursuing post-graduation (M.Sc. or MCA) from IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology), here are some common exams you can consider:

1. Joint Admission Test for Masters (JAM):  JAM is conducted for admission to M.Sc. programs at IITs and other participating institutes. You can appear for the Computer Science (CS) paper in JAM.

2. Joint Entrance Examination for Masters (JEE Advanced): This is primarily for admission to M.Tech programs, but some IITs also offer M.Sc. programs through JEE Advanced. Check the specific IITs for their M.Sc. offerings through JEE Advanced.

3. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE):  While GATE is primarily for M.Tech admissions, some IITs also accept GATE scores for admission to their M.Sc. programs. You can appear for the Computer Science and Information Technology (CS) paper in GATE.

4. Common Entrance Examination for Design (CEED): CEED is for admission to M.Des. programs, but some IITs also accept CEED scores for M.Sc. in Design programs. Check the specific IITs for their M.Sc. Design offerings through CEED.

5. IIT JAM for MCA (IIT JAM MCA): Some IITs also offer MCA programs, and you can apply through JAM for these programs.


Before applying, it's crucial to check the specific eligibility criteria and admission processes of the IITs where you wish to apply. Each IIT may have its own set of requirements and procedures for admission to their M.Sc. or MCA programs.

Hope it helps you!

There are two main entrance exams you can consider for pursuing an MSc or MCA program in IITs and universities:

1. JAM (Joint Admission Test for Masters):

Theoretical computer science
MSc in Computer Science, MSc in Mathematics and Computing, and other related programs offered by IITs, IISc Bangalore, and other Central Universities.  Not typically used for MCA programs.

2. GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering):

Application-oriented computer science with an engineering perspective.

M.Tech in Computer Science, M.Tech in Information Technology, or related programs offered by IITs, NITs, IISc Bangalore, and many other universities.  Can be used for some MCA programs offered by some universities (check specific program requirements).

Take JAM if you are interested in a strong theoretical foundation in computer science and aim for research-oriented programs.

Take GATE if you prefer a more application-oriented approach and are interested in specializations within CS (like Machine Learning, Data Science) or an MCA program (offered by some universities).
