IIT Roorkee MCA Admission

Can you tell me about the eligibility requirement for admission in Master in Computer Applications (MCA) Programme in IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Roorkee?

[pawan]

One has to clear JAM (Joint Admission Test to M. Sc) for admission to MCA programme at the IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Roorkee.

Eligibility:

One at least has 55% aggregate marks in the Bachelor degree with Maths.

Or

One must be a Maths student at +2 level.

Test Pattern and Selection:

The test papers, objective and subjective questions will carry weightages of 30% and 70% respectively.
For wrong answer to an objective type question, candidates will get negative 1/3 of the maximum marks assigned to that question.
For each test paper in JAM, separate rank lists, on the basis of written test, will be prepared for General, OBC (non-creamy layer), SC, ST and PD candidates.
