NFSU CET is the entrance test conducted by the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), Gandhinagar, for admission into its technology-oriented postgraduate programs such as MCA, M.Sc. Cyber Security, and M.Sc. Digital Forensics, across its campuses. Thinkoraa's NFSU CET batches run year-round from our Surat and Vadodara centres, combining live classes, weekly mock tests, and personalised mentorship — with special focus on the cyber security and computer fundamentals sections that set NFSU CET apart from other MCA entrance exams.
A single 90-minute computer-based test, no separate stages — NFSU CET admission is decided entirely on this one paper.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Duration | Negative Marking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics/Aptitude | 35 | 35 | No sectional limit | -1/4 per wrong answer |
| Logical Reasoning | 30 | 30 | No sectional limit | -1/4 per wrong answer |
| Computer Fundamentals & Cyber Awareness | 35 | 35 | No sectional limit | -1/4 per wrong answer |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 90 Minutes | -1/4 per Wrong Answer |
Mathematics/Aptitude and Computer Fundamentals & Cyber Awareness carry the highest weightage (35 questions each) — that's where most of Thinkoraa's NFSU CET coaching time goes.
Forecast based on past cycles. Always confirm against the official NFSU CET notification before applying.

NFSU CET is the entrance test conducted by the National Forensic Sciences University, Gandhinagar, for admission into its technology and forensic science postgraduate programs, including MCA, M.Sc. Cyber Security, and M.Sc. Digital Forensics.
NFSU CET is a 90-minute computer-based test with 100 multiple-choice questions covering Mathematics/Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and Computer Fundamentals & Cyber Awareness, with negative marking for wrong answers.
Registration typically opens in March/April, with the exam conducted in May/June. Exact dates are notified on the official NFSU website each cycle — check our registration timeline below for this year's dates.
No — NFSU also offers MCA and cyber security-focused postgraduate programs through the same entrance test, making it relevant for computer applications and IT aspirants, not only forensic science candidates.
NFSU CET does not publish a fixed cap on the number of attempts. Any candidate who meets the eligibility criteria — a qualifying bachelor's degree with Mathematics and the minimum required aggregate — can register in a given year, and since there is no upper age limit, candidates can generally reappear in subsequent cycles. Always confirm attempt-related rules in that year's official notification.
NFSU CET is a computer-based test, and candidates are typically not permitted to carry personal calculators, mobile phones, or other physical/electronic aids into the exam hall. Any rough sheets or on-screen tools provided on exam day are specified in the official admit card and exam-day instructions, so always check these before your test date.
Based on the last two years' trends, scoring 88+ out of 100 placed candidates in the 99th percentile in 2025 (85+ in 2024), while 68–87 marks corresponded to the 90th–99th percentile band in 2025. Given the -1/4 negative marking, a well-attempted, accuracy-focused paper in the 65+ range is generally a strong outcome, though actual cutoffs shift slightly each cycle.
The application fee for NFSU CET is notified separately for General and Reserved category candidates when the official application form is released each year. Since the fee is set by NFSU and can change cycle to cycle, check the official NFSU CET notification or application portal for the current amount before applying.
Once results are declared, NFSU releases a merit-based rank list, followed by a counselling process for admission into its postgraduate programs across campuses. Candidates participate in counselling rounds, complete document verification, and confirm their seat as per the schedule notified by NFSU.
Counselling typically requires standard documents such as your qualifying degree mark sheets and certificate, NFSU CET admit card and scorecard, category certificate (if applicable), and a valid photo ID proof. Always refer to the official counselling notice for the exact document checklist for your admission cycle.
No — NFSU CET has a single 90-minute duration shared across all three sections (Mathematics/Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and Computer Fundamentals & Cyber Awareness). There is no individual sectional time limit, so candidates can allocate their own time across sections within the overall 90 minutes.
No formal programming background is required. This section tests programming basics, networking fundamentals, DBMS, operating systems, and cyber security basics at a foundational level rather than advanced coding skills, so candidates from any bachelor's degree background with Mathematics can prepare for it with focused study.
