Dear Friends,

Recently a news was flashed in a leading Gujarati daily about the new regulations for admission to the MCA program in GTU affiliated colleges.

I called up GTU on phone and got to know that this is a proposed thing and there is no final decision.

According to this new proposal, the students MUST have Mathematics as a subject in 10+2 (HSC) to get admission in MCA Program.

There is no final decision taken. So all the students who are preparing for GCET MCA 2010, need not to be panic and focus on your preparation.

The final decision and announcement will come with the exam notification. According to me, most probably this rule will not be effective from this year.

Top 5 MCA colleges in Rajkot are as follows::

1. Department of Computer Science, Saurashtra University, Rajkot (GIA)
2. Atmiya Institute of Technology & Science, Rajkot (SFI)
3. Marvadi Education Group of Foundation, Rajkot (SFI)
4. T N Rao College of Information Technology, Rajkot (SFI)
5. RK College of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot (SFI)

North Gujarat which comprised of Banaskantha, Mehsana, Patan and Sabarkantha. From this, Banaskantha district don't have any MCA colleges. Highest number of MCA colleges are based in Mehsana district.

The list of top FIVE MCA colleges in North Gujarat are as follows:

1. UV Patel College of Engineering, Mehsana (SFI)
2. Department of Computer Science, Patan (GIA)
3. Kalol Institute of Management (MCA), Kalol (SFI)
4. Sankalchand Patel College of Engineering, Visnagar (SFI)
5. SV Institute of Computer Studies, Kadi (SFI)

Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar remains the first priority of MCA aspirants due to the high growth of software industries in these two cities.

We can find top companies like TCS, HCL etc in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. Gandhinagar has its own electornic GIDC as well as Inforcity which is the IT hub of Gujarat.

If we talk about campus placement then the MCA colleges based in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar get the highest number of campus placements as compared to other cities. One can also stay in touch with the latest happening in the IT industries by staying near to IT industry.

Due to all these factors, the top ranker of GCET MCA always prefer to take admission in the MCA colleges based in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.

The Top 10 MCA Colleges based in Ahmedabad / Gandhinagar are as follows:

1. Nirma Institute of Technology, Ahmedabad
