It's a Question of your Career!

Hello Harshith,

The eligibility criteria will depend on when you are admitted to MCA. Since you have cleared your 4th semester backlog exam and the results will be available in November, you could still be enrolled in this academic year if university allows acceptable provisional admission with pending results. Several colleges allow this, provided you submit the cleared marksheet before a deadline. Should the admission authority be strict about having all semester's results available at time of counselling, you will have to wait until next year to apply. I would also suggest checking with the university or PGECET counselling information.

Hi,

With a general rank of 13,964 and a local rank of 1,529 in bc-d category in au region, your chances of getting a seat in main campus universities like krishna university, acharya nagarjuna university, or adikavi nannaya university depend on the course demand. in 2nd counseling, seats sometimes open up in less-demanded specializations (like certain mba/mca branches), but popular courses may close earlier. i’d recommend filling as many preferred options as possible and also considering affiliated colleges to maximize your chance.
