If you want to resume your MCA after discontinuation, you generally cannot use your AP ICET 2023 rank for counseling in 2024. AP ICET ranks are valid only for the academic year in which they are obtained. To reapply for MCA in the upcoming academic year, you will likely need to take the AP ICET exam again to qualify for counseling and secure admission.

Hello student,

It seems that your college is asking for the additional amount due to a processing fee deduction by KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority), which may have impacted the amount they sent to your college. This scenario isn't common in all colleges, and the response from other colleges may vary depending on their own agreements with KEA.

If you're uncertain about the legitimacy of the additional fee demand, consider the following steps:

1. Clarify with KEA : Contact KEA to confirm whether the processing fee deduction is valid and if other colleges are also facing the same issue. Request a detailed statement showing how much your college was sent after the deduction.
   
   

2. Discuss with College Authorities : Take the issue to the college administration and request a clear explanation of the fee structure. If the deduction is valid, the college should provide evidence that the amount they received was less and explain why this fee wasn't communicated upfront.
   
   

3. Consult Other Colleges : If other colleges are not asking for this additional fee, check with your peers in different institutions to understand if this is a common practice for colleges participating in the PGCET.
   
   

4. Seek Help from PGCET or Student Forums : Students often share similar experiences on forums or social media platforms where you can gather more insights on whether such charges are common.

This situation can be resolved by having a clear understanding of the fee structure and communicating with both KEA and the college involved.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

The cutoff rank varies for universities and the type of candidate category. For example, in the case of BCB girls, the cutoff rank is decided by factors like the number of available seats, the number of applicants, and the competition altogether. Procedures for cutoff ranks calculation differ from one university or institution to another, sometimes year after year.

For government universities and colleges, the cutoff rank for BCB girls would be generally higher than for general category candidates, which would be more or less region-wise and institution-wise. It would be best to check out the official notifications or counseling details of the respective university or college for a more accurate idea of the cutoff rank for MCA courses. If you are applying to a particular college, check their last year's cutoff or contact their admission office for more specific information.

Keeping track of counseling rounds and seat allotments will help you estimate the cutoff more accurately.

Hello Mahendra,

To get MCA admission for the 2025 batch as a B.Com graduate without 12th Mathematics but with Statistics in both 12th and B.Com:

1. Eligibility : Most universities accept Statistics as an alternative to Mathematics. Confirm with Gujarat University for specific requirements.
   
   
2. Bridge Course : If PCM is mandatory, complete a bridge course in Mathematics from an approved institution.
   
   
3. Entrance Exams : Prepare for exams like GUJCET or NIMCET (application period: Feb-April 2025). Focus on Mathematics, Logical Reasoning, English, and Computer Awareness.
   
   
4. Documents : Keep your 10th, 12th, and graduation mark sheets ready, along with entrance exam results.
   
   
5. Alternative Universities : Consider private universities with flexible criteria if needed.

Contact Gujarat University for exact details.

Hello there,

The discrepancy in your allotment through PGCET despite your rank (3300) and category (ST) could be due to several factors specific to this year’s admission trends:

1. Increased Competition : The number of candidates in your category applying for MCA at PES University or Dayananda Sagar may have increased this year, raising the effective cutoff ranks.
   
   

2. Changes in Seat Matrix : Seat allocation for different categories, including ST, might have been revised this year. Fewer seats in these colleges for your category can significantly impact cutoffs.
   
   

3. Reservation Quotas : There could have been adjustments in the quota for various categories, leading to a shift in rank preferences for top colleges.
   
   

4. First-Preference Impact : Admission to a preferred college also depends on the number of candidates ahead of you who marked PES or Dayananda Sagar as their first choices.
   
   

5. Late Option Entry or Choice Filling Errors : If your choices weren’t ordered optimally or submitted late, you might have been allocated RNSIT based on availability when your turn came.
   
   

6. Higher Preferences for RNSIT by Others : Some students might prioritize RNSIT over PES or Dayananda Sagar for reasons like proximity, affordability, or personal preferences, affecting the seat availability for your category.
   
   Suggested Steps:

• Document Verification : Ensure your category was correctly considered during allotment.
  
  
• Check Vacancy Round : Keep an eye on spot rounds or vacancy seats in your preferred colleges, as they might open up due to cancellations.
  
  
• Appeal if Necessary : If you suspect an error, approach the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) for clarification.

This year's deviations are likely influenced by increased demand and changing allocation trends.
