Eligibility Criteria

Sources vary slightly on the exact percentage cutoff (official site doesn’t display this in plain text, so cross-check at admissions time):

• Educational qualification: A BCA, or a bachelor’s degree in Science, Commerce, or Arts with Mathematics as a subject in 10+2, or a BTech/BE in Computer Science or a related field.
• Minimum marks: Reported cutoffs range between 40% and 50% depending on the source — one source states a minimum of 40% marks in graduation, with candidates scoring below that possibly eligible after an internal eligibility test, while another notes a minimum of 45–50% marks from a recognised institution.
• No Maths at 10+2/graduation: candidates without Mathematics may be required to complete a bridge course before enrolling.
• International applicants: must have a completed graduation degree plus a certificate of equivalence from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU); there’s no fixed minimum grade, but sufficient academic standing is expected.
• Work experience is not required — fresh graduates and working professionals can both apply.
