Check: Kerala University Courses and Fees

Admission criteria are based on nativity i.e. Keralite or Non-Keralite candidates where Non-Keralite candidates will be eligible for admission only after all the applicants of Keralite origin are ranked and allotted and Non-Keralite candidates are not eligible for any reservations or any kind of fee concession.

Selection of candidates is on the basis of the merit of a candidate according to marks obtained by him/her in the HSC/Class 12 examinations.

There is the process of standardization of marks to make a merit list which is written below: Total Index Marks = Total marks secured for Higher Secondary + Marks secured in Mathematics.

For Example: If the student has secured 1000 marks out of the total 1200 marks and if he/she has secured 170 out of 200 in mathematics, his index marks will be 1000 + 170 = 1170 and these index marks will be used while making the final merit list.

Check: Kerala University Rankings

Important Points Regarding Merit List 

  • For national-level boards such as CBSE, marks are given out of 500 and therefore, normalize the total marks to 1200 and then add twice the marks obtained in Mathematics.
  • There is a mandatory reservation for 50% of seats for Socially and Educationally Backward Class (SEBC), Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) where 50% is distributed differently according to a type of college whether it is UIT, Aided or Self-financed. 
  • There are extra marks added to index marks for making of merit list based on sports quota, servicemen quota, physically handicapped quota, NSS/NCC certificate holders, etc. 
  • But, there is a deduction of marks too from index marks as the candidate will lose 10 marks from the total ranking marks for each additional appearance he/she has taken for completing the HSC examination.

Kerala University BCA Cut Off 

Most of the colleges have cut-off between 800-1000 as last index mark for General Category where only 6 colleges have cut-off (last index marks) more than 1000 marks and the highest cut-off is set by College of Applied Science, Adoor at 1133 last index marks and similarly, 6 colleges have cut-off in the range of 700-800 marks where lowest is set by Carmel college at 705 marks.
