The course is typically divided into eight semesters, with a focus on major science subjects such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics during the first year. Subsequently, students can pick from a variety of specialities such as computer science, mechanical engineering, biotechnology, civil engineering, and many more.

This discipline provides a wide range of job options in many industries, making it one of the most sought-after courses for students after Class 12, particularly those from the Science stream.

You must have passed the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics classes in Class 10+2 or an equivalent exam from a recognised board in order to be eligible for the BTech programme. However, the requirements for eligibility might vary from one institute to the next. For BTech admission process, well-known engineering colleges like IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other private institutions also consider JEE Main or JEE Advanced scores. There are other state-level engineering examinations such as MHT CET, PTU CET, WBJEE, and others. The JEE Advanced cutoff for IITs ranges from 3000 to 10000, depending on the IIT and course. The BTech programme costs between Rs 2,000,000 and Rs 4,000,000. IIT's BTech course costs range from Rs 1,10,000 to Rs 2,10,000.

Prominent job roles after BTech include Senior Business Analyst, Software Engineer, Software Developer, Mechanical Engineer, and others. The job roles are determined by the BTech Branches selected by the student. Some top BTech colleges in India provide excellent placement opportunities. Depending on the college and firm, BTech placements range from Rs 7 LPA to 2 crores.

BTech Selection Process

To take admission in BTech/BE courses, there are two ways in general. One is merit-based admissions and the other is entrance exam based. In India, the exams can be divided into national level, state level, and university level. To understand what a generic BTech admission process 2024 is, go through the points given below.

Select the Engineering College 

The most important step in applying for B.Tech admission process is deciding which engineering college you want to attend. Make sure to investigate all of the important aspects, including location, cost, accreditation, and engineering specialisation, when you are focusing your college search. In addition, you need to have a fallback plan consisting of no less than three alternative engineering branch options in the event that your first choice is not available.

Three categories can be used to organise your college choices for the B.Tech admission process: elite universities, above-average universities, and average universities where your chances of admission are higher. List-making is a good way to ensure that the engineering colleges on your short list are the ones you want to attend. Important factors to take into account include the distance from home, accreditation, location, degree, placement, financial aid or scholarships, faculty members' educational backgrounds, campus life, and facilities. Choose your engineering college for the B.Tech admission process according to your suitability based on a number of factors.

Check the Eligibility Criteria for BTech in College

After narrowing down some preferred engineering colleges, check the eligibility criteria laid down by the authorities and make sure to fulfill all the requirements. Each college has its own BTech eligibility criteria. The basic requirement for the BTech admission process 2024 is that the candidate should have passed class 12th from a recognized board with PCM or PCB. Some BTech colleges in India also have certain age limits which you should check you are within. And the minimum marks required in Class 12th depend upon the student category. For example, the eligibility criteria for general students in some colleges demand 50% in Class 12th. 

Check BTech Admission Process

In India, BTech admission 2024 are usually done on the basis of various national and state-level engineering entrance exams. JEE Main and JEE Advanced are the two most popular national-level engineering exams conducted for BTech admission 2024 in IIT, NIT, IIIT, etc. If students want to secure a seat in top-tier engineering colleges like IIT they need to qualify in JEE Main and JEE Advanced both. 

MHT CET, TS POLYCET, WBJEE, AP PGECET, GCET, etc. are some of the popular state-level engineering exams. However, some colleges also hold their own entrance exams like VITEEE, BITSAT, AEEE, etc, and also accept various entrance exam scores for BTech Admission 2024. 

Following that, various private colleges in India offer BTech Admission 2024 on the basis of merits in Class 12th. And, some colleges provide students with engineering seats based on the centralized counselling process. 

Sit for BTech Entrance Exam

If the college you wish to apply to accepts BTech admission process 2024 through the entrance exam, you will need to register during the application window, schedule a time, download the admit card, and take the entrance exam. It takes a lot of work to qualify for the BTech entrance exam; you must study hard and achieve the required score.

Upon qualifying in the BTech entrance exam, you need to complete choice filling and appear in the counselling process and seat allotment through which you will be allotted seats in the engineering college. 

Or 

Fill out the Application Form 

If the college in which you are applying accepts students on the basis of merits, you need to fill out the BTech application form by visiting the university’s official website and wait for the release of the merit list. If your name appears in the university’s merit list you will be allotted a seat in the college. 

Most private engineering universities offer direct BTech admission without requiring an entrance exam score. Such BTech admission process 2024 will be classified as management quota admissions, with the B Tech fee received being higher than for entrance-based BTech Admission.

Or

BTech Admission 2024 Through Counselling

There is no entrance exam for B Tech programmes in some states, and admission is solely based on Class 12 merit. For UG engineering admissions, such states use a centralized admission process. For example, Anna University in Tamil Nadu has a centralized admission process for UG engineering courses called Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA). To acquire a seat under the state or concession quota, all students in the state must participate in TNEA.

Once you will complete the BTech admission process 2024 as per the college requirements you will be granted a seat in the BTech programme. 

How to Apply for B Tech Course?

Before applying for BTech admission 2024, it is mandatory to have a valid entrance exam score (national or state). Therefore, students need to apply for the relevant engineering entrance exam depending on their aspirants and requirements as explained above. Some of the examples related to the B Tech application process are given below.

Example 1: - After qualifying the engineering entrance exam, respective institutes or states conduct a centralised BTech admission 2024. Students must register for the centralised admission process to secure BTech admission 2024. For example, if a student qualifies for JEE Main, and wants to secure admission to NIT, he/ she must take part in the centralised BTech admission process 2024 conducted by JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority). Here, students need to submit a separate application form for each NIT. After the announcement of JEE Main results, students can directly visit the official website of JoSAA and submit the application form.

Example 2: - If students are willing to join a deemed university, they will have to submit an application form through the official website of the respective deemed university. The BTech admission process 2024 will be conducted by the varsity separately.

Example 3: - Similar to JoSAA, several states also conduct a centralised admission process for B Tech courses. For example, B Tech aspirants in Kerala must register for the counselling process conducted by CEE Kerala after qualifying KEAM entrance exam. The major advantage of taking part in such a counselling process is that students need to apply for each engineering college in the state separately.

Example 4: - If a student wants to take direct BTech admission 2024 in an engineering college without an entrance test score, he/ she can submit a separate application form through the official website of the college or visit the college directly to obtain the application fee.

Students need to pay a registration or application fee for the BTech admission process 2024. The respective authority will decide the registration fee.
