The entrance test will be of 2 hrs duration and will carry 100 marks. There will be total 100 questions of objective type. (Each correct answer carrying 1 marks and -1/3 for an incorrect answer). Candidates who fail to score at least 40% in the entrance examination will not be eligible for admission in MSIT.  Outline for the admission test is given in Appendix –A. The standard of the syllabus of the entrance test is that required by the candidate to pursue the MSc (IT) course.

The course is designed basically for Graduates of Physical Sciences and Engineering Graduates. However, candidates from other streams who have good knowledge in Information technology  topics of DOEACC O level and  10+2 level Mathematics are made eligible for this course. Since the course requires high logical thinking, hard work and mental make up to work about 12 hrs daily in the department without routine breaks  & holidays,  candidates   are advised to make a self assessment of their  capabilities   before applying for the course.
