The AIMCET covered a total of 15000 seats in Institutes
for MCA. However about 1000 seats were available in premium
institutes , which guarantee good placement in IT companies.
Thus a student should atleast have a rank in the Top 1000
in this exam. This meant that you will have to score 500
marks or above in the AIMCET out of a total possible score
of 800. Thus a good strategy for preparation is required
if one has to secure seats in premier MCA Institutes like
NIT Trichy, IIT Roorkee, MNIT Allahabad etc. through the
AIMCET.
