B.Tech

Course Description

Eligibility Criteria

The basic eligibility requirement for admissions to any BTech programme is:

• Candidates must have passed the class 12 exam from a recognised board with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as core subjects.
• They must also have secured minimum aggregate marks of 60% in the above subjects combined.
• Most admissions are done based on the student performance in the entrance examination.
• The regular mode of entry to BTech course is through entrance examination after Class 12th. The other mode is called Lateral-Entry mode, wherein candidates can enroll in BTech programme in second year.
• Those who possess a three-year diploma programme in engineering can enroll in BTech under Lateral-Entry Scheme.

Admission Process

All the BTech aspirants need to follow a similar process for admission to any institute. Various stages for BTech admissions are given below:

• Firstly, BTech aspirants need to appear and qualify for any of the entrance exams for admission to an institute.
• National level engineering entrance exams such as JEE Main are accepted by NITs, IIITs, GFTIs and several other private colleges. JEE Advanced is the entrance exam conducted for admission to IITs.
• Other than the aforesaid two exams, B Tech Admissions are also conducted through state-level exams such as WBJEE, KEAM, AP EAMCET, TS EAMCET, MHT CET etc. and university/college level exams such as BITSAT, VITEEE, SRMJEEE, UPESEAT, etc.
• All the engineering entrance exams are conducted in April, May and June every year.
• After the result declaration of every exam, counseling and seat allotment process has been conducted by the concerned authorities. During counseling, students have to choose college and courses of their choice based on their ranks.
• After seat allotment, every student needs to visit the allotted engineering college to complete the admission formalities

Entrance Exams

In India, all technical programmes such as BTech, fall under the regulatory purview of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the National Board of Accreditation (NBA). Admissions to B.Tech programmes take place through national level/state-level/institute-level engineering entrance examinations. The top five engineering entrance exams taken by a large number of students each year are:

Top Ranked Colleges

NIRF Ranking is a vital statistical information to determine the ratings of a college based on the research and professional practices and teaching and learning resources implemented by the institutes. It constitutes the effectiveness of the programmes offered by the various institutes and determines the institute’s outreach and inclusivity and how it is perceived in the educational fraternity. Students interested in pursuing BTech can apply in colleges taking into consideration their relevant positions as per the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF). The colleges mentioned in the table are listed alphabetically and not in any order of ranking hierarachy.
