The placement graph for MCA differs with each year. There’s a huge difference between the potential of MCA students and the job opportunities provided by NIT Raipur.
Only a handful of companies visiting NIT Raipur allow MCA students to sit for placements. The number is quite low in comparison with the MCA at other NITs. The eligibility criteria put up by companies for placements is 60% (and above) throughout your academic career (10th, 12th, grad and post grad).
After these multiple filtrations, a handful of students are selected on campus. In 2022 however, the figures were quite promising. Out of 70 eligible students, 65 were placed. AQ, GTS, Infosys, Polaris, Persistent, Oracle Finance and Amdocs are some companies that allow MCA students from this college to sit for placements.
Thus, the placements for MCA students at NIT Raipur are average at best.
One of my cousins completed an MCA from IGNOU while doing a job. She shared her experience with me. I have summarised it in points for better understanding:
The Degree Certificate of IGNOU MCA will enable you to appear for an interview
There are regular classes on weekends. But these classes are only on paper so you can skip them.
Students will have to approach self-study only
Projects are only formalities and have no real value
Institutes that run the MCA IGNOU program offer no help when it comes to getting a job.
There is no value of IGNOU MCA in Infosys, TCS, Wipro, etc
Apart from this various advertisements in newspapers specifically mention that IGNOU candidates will not be able to apply. So I will not recommend that you complete an MCA from IGNOU.
The MCA program at NIT Surathkal is decent but I feel NIT Allahabad will offer a better course and opportunity. This is because, at MNIT Allahabad, most companies allow MCA students to sit for placements with CSE and IT students. One of my distant cousins pursuing an MCA from MNNIT Allahabad cleared Google Mt.View. Moreover, CSE, IT, and MCA share a common department here and the computer Club classes are also held for all CSE, IT, and MCA combined.
Whereas In NIT Surathkal, the MCA program is inclined more toward Application Development and thereby focuses more on the latest programming language and tools to develop better and faster applications. Its primary aim is to provide a modern, industry-oriented education in applied computer science.
In my opinion, you should choose MNNIT Allahabad for MCA as it has better placement opportunities.
No, you cannot join the MCA program of SKCT Coimbatore without TANCET. Only candidates who have secured aggregate marks in bachelor’s degree BCA and a valid score in TANCET are eligible to get admission for MCA in SKCT Coimbatore.

Overall NIT Calicut offers a cozy and cordial environment. You will be given access to utilize the necessary facilities and also get help from respective faculties. Choosing NIT Calicut for MCA will definitely prove to be good for your career.
My friend is currently pursuing MCA from NIT Calicut and is having the best time of his life. The program is considered to be one of the top MCA programs in India.
Overall, the MCA course at NIT Calicut is a great choice for students who are interested in pursuing a career in computer science.
The MCA course in general is a very demanding subject in the IT industry. You need to keep yourself updated with the latest trends in the industry to match proper excellence.
Some of the top IT companies visit the campus include Oracle, TCS, Genpact, IBM, Byju's, Infosys, Wipro, and many others. Therefore it is totally worth it to pursue an MCA degree from Sanskriti University.
JNU conducts the toughest entrance for MCA. Its faculty and environment are ideal for this degree. MNNIT Allahabad is a good institute, but its MCA is not comparable to JNU.
However, JNU does not have a concrete curriculum for its MCA entrance. Its entrance is conducted in a non serious manner, and the paper is difficult to crack. Moreover, it has a lot of reservations and quotas, even on such limited seats.
On the other hand, NIMCET is conducted in an organized manner, and its paper is easy to understand. The syllabus and blueprints are made available on the official website for good preparation.
Despite all this, JNU has a very professional education system. It does not offer any placements, but you’ll get good exposure on campus and land a job on your own. The MCA faculty is highly experienced, but I am not well aware of the university’s infrastructure.
Talking of MNNIT Allahabad, it is a highly reputed NIT with a good placement record. Its campus is completely ragging free, and the environment is strict on academics. But its hostels aren’t in a good shape.
I would suggest JNU New Delhi for an MCA, but even MNNIT is a decent choice.
Background does not matter much. It is a subjective question as it depends on many factors and the factors may or may not align with one’s goals and preferences. For MCA Christ has an edge over NMIMS. If you are okay with some strict rules and dress codes then for sure Christ is a better choice.
Hyderabad Central University conducts an entrance examination for student intake into various courses during Feb-March each year. The entrance test is the only way you can get admission into the courses offered by HCU. So, you should keep an eye on the official website for admission notification from Oct-Nov. Once the notification is out, you can apply online.
