B.Tech – Eligibility Criteria
Full form of B.Tech is Bachelor of Technology. It is an undergrad course that is pursued by science stream students after the completion of Class 12 from Science backgrpund. The four year B.Tech course is offered by engineering colleges across India including top colleges.
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. And on the basis of their result or we can say performance, students are shortlisted for counseling process. There are many state level entrance exam which offers admission in different private and government colleges. For example UPSEE and many others. Conducted by the Dr. A.P.J.

All I want to put that gone are the days when there were no option except IITs/NITs but now ther are many private institution which are giving tough competition to IITs/NITs in every aspects be it infrastructure, education, research, entrepreneurship, innovation and extra curiculur. I am naming such institutions below-
- KCC Institute of Technology and Management, Greater Noida.
