Admission Requirements
Eligibility & Selection Criteria
Candidates must possess a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering from a recognised university/institution, with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved category candidates, as per prevailing norms). Final-year students may also apply subject to completion before programme commencement.
Selection Criteria
Admission to the PG Diploma in Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Management is merit-based and conducted through a structured multi-stage process in line with NICMAR’s postgraduate diploma admission framework
1. NICMAR Common Admission Test (NCAT)
Applicants are required to appear for the NICMAR Common Admission Test (NCAT). NCAT evaluates candidates on;
- Quantitative aptitude
- Logical reasoning
- Verbal ability and comprehension
- Basic engineering awareness relevant to construction and production domains
Performance in NCAT forms a key component of the shortlisting process.
2. Academic Performance
Candidates are assessed based on their undergraduate academic record, with due consideration given to consistency, subject relevance, and overall performance in Civil or Mechanical Engineering.
3. Personal Interview (PI)
Shortlisted candidates are invited for a Personal Interview (PI), which assesses:
- Motivation and clarity of career goals
- Technical orientation towards concrete and RMC operations
- Communication skills and problem-solving ability
- Suitability for the programme structure and outcomes
Interviews may be conducted in person or online, as applicable.
4. Rating of Application (RA)
A holistic Rating of Application (RA) is carried out by the admissions committee, considering NCAT score, academic background, interview performance, and overall profile. Relevant industry exposure, if any, may be considered as an added advantage.
Final Selection
Final admission offers are made based on the overall merit ranking derived from the combined evaluation of NCAT, academic performance, personal interview, and application rating. Meeting eligibility criteria alone does not guarantee admission.
