Read this if you are going to enroll in MCA programme in Pantnagar

Admission was on the basis of the entrance examination, 50% of seats are reserved for people with the domicile of Uttarakhand and the rest for others. The entrance is not too much tough, prepare for NIMCET and you will easily crack this entrance.

I choose this because I wanted to get into IT field and the simplest way after Bsc(hons) Applied Mathematics was to enroll in M.C.A. programme. M.C.A. programme here is self-financed even though they take entrance for it, that is why fees is high as compared to other govt. universities. They charge self-finance fees of 65000 per year, which is why I gave approx 109000 per year fees and this includes hostel fees for the first 2 semesters as well. All professors here are highly qualified and have masters in their subjects but I don't know what is wrong with why they don't focus on students of M.C.A. The good thing is exams are taken on time whether they have taught anything or not and I can say exams are of moderate level. There are 2 sessionals 1st and 2nd and after that practical exams are taken and then comes the final exams.

The fee structure involves self-financed fees of 65000 per year and approx 23000-25000 per sem fees+ hostel fees of 16000-17000 per sem. So overall you have to pay approx 90000 in starting of the year and then for 2nd sem approximately 23000-25000.

This is the fun part. Campus life is too good. It's a large University where you will get to meet a variety of people from all over India. Students are from South India, North India, North East as well as west side. Hostel life is good as you get a single room in masters and you can focus on study easily. University also includes a large library and, a Central computing facility (CCF).
