BE/ BTech Admission Process

BTech Admission Overview

Bachelor of Technology (BTech) is a four-year professional engineering degree. 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 the Class 12, particularly those from the Science stream.

To be eligible for the BTech programme, you must have completed Class 10+2 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The eligibility criteria, however, may differ from one institute to another. Popular engineering colleges such as IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other private institutes also evaluate JEE Main or JEE Advanced scores for BTech admission. There are other state level engineering examinations such as MHT CET, PTU CET, WBJEE, and others. The JEE Advanced cut off 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 2023 is, go through the points given below.

Select the Engineering College 

The first and foremost thing to take admission to the BTech programme is that you select your preferred engineering college. When narrowing down your college search, make sure to explore all of the crucial factors such as location, cost, accreditation, and engineering branch. You must also have a backup of at least three different engineering branch options in case you are unable to obtain your preferred stream. 

You can divide your colleges into three categories: top-tier colleges, above-average colleges, and average colleges where you have a better chance of getting admitted. It is always a good idea to make a list of all the important factors that will assist you in narrowing down the list of engineering colleges. Distance from home, accreditation, location, degree, placement, financial aid or scholarships, educational qualities of faculty members, campus life, and campus facilities are all important considerations. Based on several factors select your engineering college as per your suitability. 

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 2023 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 2023 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 2023 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 2023. 

Following that, various private colleges in India offer BTech Admission 2023 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 in which you want to take admission accepts BTech admission 2023 via entrance exam, then you need to complete the registration process when the application window is open, do slot booking, download admit card, and sit for the entrance exam. Qualifying for the BTech entrance exam is not an easy task, you need to prepare dedicatedly for the exam and score the cutoff marks. 

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 2023 will be classified as management quota admissions, with the B Tech fee received being higher than for entrance-based BTech Admission.

Or

BTech Admission 2023 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 2023 as per the college requirements you will be granted seat in the BTech programme. 

How to Apply for B Tech Course?

Before applying for BTech admission 2023, 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 2023. Students must register for the centralised admission process to secure BTech admission 2023. For example, if a student qualifies for JEE Main, and wants to secure admission in NIT, he/ she must take part in the centralised BTech admission process 2023 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 in a deemed university, they will have to submit an application form through the official website of the respective deemed university. The BTech admission process 2023 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 2023 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 2023. The respective authority will decide the registration fee.

Documents Required for BTech Course Admissions

Candidates must bring the following as original documents, as well as a self-attested photocopy, to the counselling session-

  • Class 10th & 12th Mark Sheet
