B.Tech – Admission Process
Engineering course is one of the most popular and demanding career options in India. The competition to get admitted in top rated engineering colleges in India for B.Tech course is fierce. Therefore, to screen the meritorious students, admission to B.Tech programmes are given on the basis of students’ performance in engineering entrance examination. Popular engineering entrance tests like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, many others, students on basics of engineering, in line with the Class 10+2 syllabus.
