NIMCET is a national-level common entrance test conducted for admission to Masters in Computer Application MCA programs in the participatory NITs. According to the eligibility criteria for this exam, you are eligible to take NIMCET since the applicant must have a graduation degree in either B.Sc. , B.Tech. , B.E. , BIT, BBA or BCA from any recognised institution with at least a 60% aggregate score. Therefore, if your aggregate is 60% in your graduation degree, BCA and you have mathematics or Statistics as mandatory subjects, you are eligible irrespective of your 12th-grade score. -
Yes, the basic NIMCET eligibility criteria requires Indian candidates to be graduates in Science/ IT/ CA/ Technology or Engineering, with at least 60% marks or 6.5 CGPA. NIMCET is the gateway to admission into MCA courses in the 10 participating NITs.

No. You cannot manually convert CGPA to percentage or vice-versa to qualify. If your university uses a 10-point scale, a 6.5 CGPA is the minimum requirement for General/OBC candidates.
Here is how you can determine if your NIMCET score is good -
| Score | Possible Rank | What This Means |
|---|---|---|
| 360+ | Top 100 | Excellent: You can likely pick any top NIT you want, like the popular ones in Trichy or Warangal. |
| 300 - 359 | 101 - 500 | Very Good: You have a high chance of getting into a strong NIT. |
| 240 - 299 | 501 - 1500 | Good Goal: You can likely secure a spot in a mid-tier NIT. |
| Below 120 | Low Chances | Difficult: Getting a seat at any NIT is very unlikely with this score. |
The NIMCET application edit window usually opens 2-3 days after the last day of application. Historically, it opens for 2 days within which applicants can make any edits in their application if required. Please note that no requests in this regard shall be entertained thereafter.
