It will be better if you prepare for NIMCET because the condition of MCA is not so good in IET Lucknow. One of my friends pursued an MCA course at IET Lucknow and here’s what he has to share about it -
Particulars | Statistics |
Exams accepted | UPSEE |
Total fees | INR 1.3 LPA |
Highest salary | INR 5.5 LPA |
Average salary | INR 4 LPA |
Lowest salary | INR 2.5 LPA |
Top recruiters | TCS, Wipro, Accenture, Bajaj, etc. |
It is suggested that you should try for better options as well. However, make sure you choose wisely as this will decide your career path.
IET Lucknow placements for MCA are excellent. Here are the details of MCA placement in recent years.
Particulars | IET Lucknow MCA |
Average CTC | INR 4 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 7 LPA |
Top job roles offered | Software Developer, Backend Developer, Data Analyst |
TCS, Wipro, Accenture, Vector, Bajaj, etc. are some of the major recruiters for MCA at IET Lucknow.
One of my friends graduated from Pondicherry University. Here are some things you need to know about it before making a decision.
My friend got a good rank (read AIR-1) in 2014 but he ended up pursuing it in NIT Durgapur. So think wisely.
In general Pondicherry University is a good university. But not fit to meet the requirements of the industry. Better join some other university. In the long run, PU is not a good option. Placements are not up to the mark.
NIT Surathkal is one of the top NITs. It offers admissions to some of the brightest minds in the country.
I am listing down the tuition and hostel fee for MCA and M.Tech students at NITK-
Fee-Type |
M.Tech |
MCA |
Tuition Fee |
INR 35,000 per sem |
INR 35,000 per sem |
Total Hostel Fee |
INR 1,27,014 (1st year) INR 1,01,300 (2nd year, shared accommodation) INR 1,04,760 (2nd year, single accommodation) |
INR 1,27,014 (1st year) INR 1,01,300 (2nd year, shared accommodation) INR 1,04,760 (2nd year, single accommodation) INR 99,820 (3rd year, shared accommodation) INR 1,03,120 (3rd year, single accommodation) |
For SC/ST/PwD candidates, the M.Tech tuition fee is exempted. However, they are still required to pay the other fees and hostel fees. You can visit the official NITK website to check the other fees that the college charges.
Thus, I have provided you with the basic fee structure for M.Tech and MCA courses at NITK.
The placement scenario for MCA is not considered as good as it is for B.Tech students in KNIT Sultanpur. The thing that matters the most is your consistency in working during MCA.
My brother has recently graduated from IET and based on his experience, I can suggest you a few points:
It is important to acknowledge that MCA placements are in no comparison with that of B.Tech but still it gives better exposure as compared to any Government College. BIET Jhansi does not offer MCA, so there’s no comparison with it.
HBTU is one of the top autonomous and oldest universities in British history. It has a legacy of its own and is well-known among students. NIT Raipur on the other hand is the second lowest NIT in NIMCET.
Both the colleges aren’t exactly comparable as they have equally mediocre placements for MCA. Here is a brief overview of these colleges
Particulars |
NIT Raipur |
HBTU |
Fees |
INR 85,600 (1st Year Fees) |
INR 1.2 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) |
Eligibility |
Graduation with 60% + NIMCET |
Graduation with 60% + IEMJEE |
Highest CTC |

INR 43.5 LPA |
Average CTC |
INR 10.1 LPA |
INR 6.46 LPA |
Top Recruiters |
Wipro, Capgemini, Infosys, Adobe, Aditya Birla Group etc. |
ITC, Dabur, IBM, HSBC, Berger Paints, Bharat Petroleum, Finserv, British Paints etc |
Had I been in your place, I would have gone for HBTU since it has a slightly better reputation than NIT Raipur.
Applicants can check the eligibility criteria for JNUEE MCA below:
According to the eligibility criteria, the minimum marks for the qualifying degree should not be less than the aggregate of 55% marks for all unreserved category candidates. For OBC-NCL there is a 10% marks relaxation and for SC/ST/PWD candidates, the minimum pass mark is required. Also, there is no age limit to apply for this course. Looking at your profile and your graduation score of 49.9% does not seem very promising as it does not align with the required criteria. So unless you belong to a reserved category, it is almost impossible for you to get admission to JNU for MCA.
The ‘better’ college depends on your individual preferences and future goals. However, you can consider the following points of comparison while choosing one between MCA from NIT Raipur and USICT.
Ultimately, the brand or the infrastructure of the college does not matter but your skill sets and determination matter.
The best choice among all these colleges is LPU. Having known some people who studied at LPU, I can assure you to choose LPU among the others. Here are some reasons as to why I think so:
Categories |
MCA at Lovely Professional University |
Course Fee |
2.18 lakh |
Placement Percentage |
85-90% |
Highest CTC |
12 LPA |
Average CTC |
6.5 LPA |
Top companies like Oracle, CTS, Tech Mahindra, Hexaware, etc., visit the college during placements, internships, seminars and industry visits. Thus it is suggested that you could opt for LPU, as it will help your career grow.
