GGSIPU fills its MCA seats through a tiered merit process — NIMCET first, its own IPU CET (Common Entrance Test) next, and CUET PG (MCA/M.Sc. IT) scores for any seats still left vacant after that. Thinkoraa's IPU-track batches prepare you across this pipeline, plus the GGSIPU counselling process, from our Surat and Vadodara centres.
The table below reflects the CUET PG (MCA/M.Sc. IT) paper — the tier GGSIPU uses to fill any MCA seats left vacant after NIMCET and IPU CET-based counselling.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Duration | Negative Marking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 25 | 100 | — | Yes |
| Reasoning | 25 | 100 | — | Yes |
| Computer Fundamentals | 25 | 100 | — | Yes |
| Total | 75 | 300 | 90 Minutes | Yes |
All three sections of the CUET PG (MCA/M.Sc. IT) paper carry equal weightage — 25 questions each.

| Rank | College | Approx. Seats | Total Fees | Average Placement | Honest Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | University School of Information Technology (USICT), GGSIPU | ~60 | ~₹3.05 L | ~₹12 LPA | GGSIPU's own constituent school — best placement record on this list (~90% placement rate, highest package up to ₹45 LPA) and typically the top preference among affiliated colleges. |
| 2 | Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications & Management (BVICAM) | Not published | ~₹4.61 L | ~₹5 LPA | Reputable affiliate with a dedicated computer-applications focus and a ~90% placement rate, though average package trails USICT. |
| 3 | Maharaja Surajmal Institute | Not published | Not published | Not published | Well-established private affiliate with a long-running MCA program — confirm current fee/placement figures directly, as they weren't independently verifiable for the MCA program specifically. |
| 4 | Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology | Not published | Not published | Not published | Solid mid-tier affiliate, popular among GGSIPU counselling applicants — verify current fee/placement figures directly with the institute. |

Yes — GGSIPU fills its MCA seats in tiers: NIMCET first, then its own IPU CET (Common Entrance Test), and finally CUET PG (MCA/M.Sc. IT) scores for any seats still left vacant after CET-based counselling.
Ideally prepare for NIMCET and GGSIPU's own IPU CET first, since those are the primary merit routes for MCA seats. CUET PG (MCA/M.Sc. IT paper) is the fallback route GGSIPU uses only for seats left vacant after CET-based counselling.
NIMCET and IPU CET counselling typically run first (around April–June), and GGSIPU opens a further CUET PG-based round afterward for any seats still vacant — exact dates are notified on the official GGSIPU admissions portal each cycle.
Most are, but always verify each specific institute's current admission route on the official GGSIPU website, as policies can be revised each academic year.
NTA has not published a specific cap on the number of CUET PG attempts — since it is a postgraduate-level test, you can appear again in a later cycle as long as you meet the qualifying bachelor's degree criteria. Always confirm the current year's eligibility rules on the official CUET PG website.
As with other NTA computer-based tests, physical calculators, log tables and other electronic aids are not permitted inside the exam hall; a rough sheet is typically provided for calculations. Always confirm the latest exam-day instructions on your CUET PG admit card.
Based on recent cycles, scores of 210+ out of 300 have gone toward top GGSIPU colleges, while 170–209 has been sufficient for mid-tier affiliated colleges. Treat these as indicative trends, not guaranteed cutoffs.
The CUET PG application fee varies by category (General/OBC/SC/ST/PwD) and the number of test papers chosen, and is revised each cycle by NTA. Check the fee structure published in the official CUET PG information bulletin before applying.
Once CUET PG results are declared, eligible candidates register separately for GGSIPU's own counselling, fill in institute and programme choices, and get seats through GGSIPU's seat allotment rounds, followed by document verification and fee payment at the allotted institute.
Typically candidates need their CUET PG scorecard and admit card, 10th and 12th mark sheets, bachelor's degree mark sheets and certificate, category certificate (if applicable), and a valid photo ID — always check the exact document checklist GGSIPU publishes for that year's counselling.
GGSIPU follows its own reservation policy, which may include seats reserved for Delhi-region/domicile candidates alongside category-based reservations — the exact percentages are notified in GGSIPU's official admission brochure each year, so confirm there before counselling.
