HR Institute of Engineering and Technology Ghaziabad MCA : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Hostel accommodation, if required, costs INR 65,000 to INR 98,800 per year and is billed separately from the course fee. This fee structure makes HRIET MCA one of the more affordable AKTU-affiliated MCA options available in the Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR region. For BCA and B.Sc. CS graduates looking to add a postgraduate computing qualification without a significant financial burden, HRIET’s total programme cost is among the lower end compared to private MCA programmes in the region.

Ans. Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree in BCA, B.Sc. Computer Science or IT, B.Tech CSE or IT, or an equivalent qualification from a recognised university with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks. SC/ST candidates are eligible with 45%. Mathematics as a subject at Class 12 or graduation level is mandatory under AKTU norms for MCA admission.

Ans. HRIET’s MCA programme is affiliated to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow, the state technical university of Uttar Pradesh. The MCA degree awarded carries the AKTU credential and is recognised for employment and higher education purposes across India. AKTU MCA graduates are eligible to sit for GATE and other postgraduate computing entrance exams and may apply for PhD or research programmes at premier institutions after qualifying the relevant entrance.

Ans. Yes. BCA graduates are among the primary target applicants for MCA at HRIET. A BCA degree from a recognised university with at least 50% aggregate qualifies candidates for MCA admission. BCA graduates who studied Mathematics at Class 12 or as part of their BCA curriculum also meet the Mathematics prerequisite. HRIET’s own BCA graduates may apply directly to the MCA programme based on graduation merit or through CUET-PG scores. Progressing from BCA to MCA at the same campus saves on relocation and helps students build on established academic relationships.

Ans. MCA graduates from HRIET can pursue roles in software development, web application engineering, database administration, systems analysis, and IT support. The Delhi NCR region, particularly the Noida and Ghaziabad technology corridors, has a substantial number of IT and software companies that hire MCA graduates at the entry level. Graduates may also appear for government IT recruitment exams conducted by SSC, IBPS, state PSCs, and RBI for technical officer and programmer roles. Those with strong programming skills may additionally pursue GATE for research or government jobs in the computing domain.
