Admission Process
B.Tech seats are split into two streams: about 70% are filled on a combined merit of JEE Main scores and normalised Class 12 marks, and the remaining 30% on Class 12 marks alone. This means a JEE Main score is not compulsory for every seat. Applications are submitted online and counselling is conducted by the university itself.
