NIMCET 2011 Notification, Eligibility, Forms

NIMCET 2011 Notification Eligibility Forms
NIMCET 2011 notification came out few days back for a total of 828 MCA seats in the eleven NITs in India - which is an increase of 27 seats over the previous years exam i.e. NIMCET 2010. You can apply for NIMCET 2011 till 28th March, 2011 and the written exam would be held on 15th May, 2011.

The purpose of this blog post is to touch upon the key points of this NIMCET-2011 exam notification and to archive the info at the same time for future NIMCET exams like NIMCET 2012/NIMCET 2013 to know about the eligibilities required for NIMCET and the application process. Another blog post titled: NIMCET Exam pattern, Syllabus, Sample Papers & Books gives you the prep materials for NIMCET exam.

First a small primer on NIMCET:
NIT MCA Common Entrance Test (NIMCET) is an all-India entrance test conducted by the NIT (National Institute of Technology)s for admission to the MCA programme in the NITs. First NIMCET was conducted in 2005 and since from than, it is being held every year. Source: Wiki

NIMCET exam has come as a boon for the MCA aspirants, as previously students had to apply to each NITs individually and also go through the selection process separately for each NITs. With NIMCET exam, you need to apply only once for the 11 participating institutes (in NIMCET-2011) and post selection in NIMCET, your admission is done through a centralized counseling.

NIMCET-2011 seat-break up institute-wise:
There are total 828 MCA seats on offer, out of which in NIT Tiruchirappalli, 46 seats are for Tamil Nadu. Break-up of MCA seats NIT-wise is given below:
NIMCET Collegewise MCA Seats
NIMCET-2011 important dates:

NIMCET-2011 Result date: Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 (Tentative)

NIMCET-2011 Counseling Dates (Tentative): 7th June to 13th June, 2011.

There may be many among you, who may want to appear in NIMCET again in the future and therefore would like to know what would be these important dates for NIMCET-2012/2013. Therefore I am making the following forecasts, based on the exam dates of NIMCET-2007 to NIMCET 2010:

NIMCET-2012/NIMCET-2013 important dates:
NIMCET notification comes out in the last week of January to 2nd/3rd week of February. So for NIMCET-2012/NIMCET-2013 notifications check the following NIT websites from the the last week of January:
www.nitagartala.in| www.mnnit.ac.in| www.manit.ac.in| www.nitc.ac.in| www.nitdgp.ac.in| www.nitkkr.ac.in| www.nitjsr.ac.in| www.nitrr.ac.in| www.nitk.ac.in| www.nitt.edu| www.nitw.ac.in.
Each year one of the NITs coordinates the NIMCET exam on behalf of all NITs (NIMCET 2010 was coordinated by NIT Allahabad while NIMCET 2011 is being coordinated by NIT, Bhopal).

Availability of NIMCET-2012/NIMCET-2013 forms:
Online Application form should start on from the date of notification and should close on last week of March (23rd- 31st March, 2012/2013).

NIMCET exam is being held invariably on the 3rd Sunday of May for last 3 years. So with this following dates can be safely assumed:
Date of NIMCET-2012 Examination: 13th May, 2012 - 3rd Sunday of May.
Date of NIMCET-2013 Examination: 12th May, 2013 - 3rd Sunday of May.

NIMCET Exam eligibilities:
