After submitting the choice, seat is allotted in multiple rounds depending upon merit and preferences. After the seat allotment, candidate has options to accept, float, slide or freeze their seats. The final admission includes verification of documents at the institute, and submission of fees. It is important to keep in touch with counselling guidelines and timelines released by the conducting body. Missing Deadlines or not being able to complete any step may cause disqualification.

How to Use the Seat Matrix for Admission Planning?

To use the NIMCET Seat Matrix effectively for admission planning, start by identifying the institutes offering your preferred MCA programs. Check the number of seats available in your category at each institute. Compare this with your expected rank to shortlist realistic options. Use this data to set your preference order during choice filling, giving priority to institutes with higher seat intake and better odds of selection. Also, consider program types like regular vs. self-financing to be able to take informed decisions.

Self-Financing vs Regular Seats

In NIMCET 2025, regular seats are funded by the government and usually have lower fees. Self-financing seats, on the other hand, are privately funded by the institutes and come with higher tuition fees. While both types of seats offer the same MCA programs, candidates should carefully consider the fee structure and seat availability before making their choices during counselling.
