(i) BSc / BSc (Hons) / BCA / BIT of minimum three years full-time*;
OR
(ii) B E / B Tech or equivalent ;
from a recognized University are eligible to appear for NIMCET

Candidates who are appearing for final year/semester are also eligible to apply for NIMCET.

    • Students who have completed/completing degree BSc / BSc (Hons) /BCA/ BIT of 3 years from Open Universities are also eligible to apply provided their programme is approved by UGC / AICTE and Distance Education Council (DEC) of Govt. of India.

 

  • The percentages of marks in qualifying degree are to be calculated on the basis of marks obtained in all the subjects studied in all the years including languages, optional and additional subjects studied, if any. The aggregate of all the subjects in all the years computed using this method of calculation alone be considered by NIMCET for deciding eligibility.

 

Exam Pattern: NIMCET test will be conducted with only one question paper containing 120 multiple choice questions covering the following subjects.

1. Mathematics 50 questions
2. Analytical Ability & Logical Reasoning 40 questions
3. Computer Awareness 10 questions
4. General English 20 questions

 

  • Each correctly answered question will carry FOUR marks and each wrongly answered question will lead to NEGATIVE ONE mark.

QUALIFYING CRITERIA FOR ALLOTMENT OF RANK in NIMCET

A Candidate securing zero or negative marks either in Mathematics or Total Marks will be disqualified.
Based on the marks obtained by a qualified candidate in NIMCET-2013 test, a rank will be allotted by adopting the following criteria.

    • The marks obtained in Mathematics, Logical Reasoning, Computer Awareness, English, will be multiplied by a factor of 3, 1½ , 2 and 1 respectively. Thus maximum weighted marks will be 1000.

 

    • Ranking will be based on total weighted marks obtained by a candidate. In case of a tie, it will be resolved based on weighted marks in Mathematics, then on weighted marks in Logical reasoning and then on weighted marks in Computer Awareness.

 

  • In case the tie is not resolved by the above criteria stated in the above paragraph, then it will be resolved by age i.e., in favour of elder candidate.
