The main changes in the IIIT Hyderabad admission process include the introduction of a special channel for admission to B.Tech specializations. This scheme is open for students who have passed class 12 or equivalent examination and have also qualified for the UDAAN scheme or are in the integrated six-year programme i.e. 12th + B.Tech course after 10th grade.

Whereas the admission to the 4-year B.Tech programmes will be on the basis of JEE Mains only. However, they have an option of lateral entry for CSD and ECD dual degree. Under this scheme, students have an option to shift to IIIT Hyderabad after two years in engineering college. This scheme is a great option for students who have a keen interest in research.

Are you feeling lost and unsure about what career path to take after completing 12th standard?

Say goodbye to confusion and hello to a bright future!
