Have a question related to Gujarat University ?

Hello Mahendra,

To get MCA admission for the 2025 batch as a B.Com graduate without 12th Mathematics but with Statistics in both 12th and B.Com:

  1. Eligibility : Most universities accept Statistics as an alternative to Mathematics. Confirm with Gujarat University for specific requirements.

  2. Bridge Course : If PCM is mandatory, complete a bridge course in Mathematics from an approved institution.

  3. Entrance Exams : Prepare for exams like GUJCET or NIMCET (application period: Feb-April 2025). Focus on Mathematics, Logical Reasoning, English, and Computer Awareness.

  4. Documents : Keep your 10th, 12th, and graduation mark sheets ready, along with entrance exam results.

  5. Alternative Universities : Consider private universities with flexible criteria if needed.
