New eligibility criteria for admission to MCA colleges in Gujarat

• Minimum 50% marks for general category students and 45% minimum marks for reserved category students

With a rise in the cut-off, the varsities in Gujarat are prepared to witness a drop in the number of students taking admissions to MCA colleges in 2013. This is dismal, because out of about MCA 7,800 seats in Gujarat, 2,118 seats were already vacant last year.
If reports are to be believed, sources in the admission committee maintain that the reason behind making 50% minimum cut-off marks for admission to MCA in Gujarat is to improve the quality of students who opt for the course.

At present, there are about 78 colleges offering MCA courses in Gujarat. The admission process for MCA course will begin in the last week of June, though final dates are not out yet.
