NIMCET 2025: Understanding the Syllabus, Exam Pattern, and Ranking Process: NIMCET 2025 (NIT MCA Common Entrance Test) is an important exam for admission into MCA programs at NITs across India. The exam assesses candidates on four main subjects: Mathematics, Analytical Ability & Logical Reasoning, Computer Awareness, and English. The syllabus covers topics from each subject, and candidates must score well to secure a good rank. The ranking is determined by the total marks obtained, and if there’s a tie, specific tie-breaker criteria are followed. This article will give you a detailed look at the NIMCET 2025 syllabus and explain how ranking is decided.

NIMCET Exam 2025 Ranking
- The total marks obtained by a candidate in these subjects will be added together: Mathematics, Analytical Ability & Logical Reasoning, Computer Awareness and English.
- The maximum possible marks you can get will be 1000.
How Ranking is Decided
- The final rank will be based on the total marks the candidate scores in all these subjects.
Tie Breaker (When Two or More Candidates Score the Same Marks)
If two or more candidates have the same total score, the following steps will decide who gets a better rank:
- Tie Breaker 1: The candidate who scores higher marks in Mathematics will get a better rank.
- Tie Breaker 2: If the Mathematics score is the same, the candidate who scores higher marks in Analytical Ability & Logical Reasoning will get the higher rank.
- Tie Breaker 3: If the Mathematics and Analytical Ability & Logical Reasoning scores are the same, the candidate who scores higher marks in Computer Awareness will be given priority.
- Tie Breaker 4: If the scores in all the above subjects are the same, the candidate who is older in age will be given preference in the merit list.
- Tie Breaker 5: If there is still a tie after all the above steps, a random computer selection will be used to break the tie and determine the rank.
