Good results in Boards and preparation for multiple Entrance tests, reaching the cut-off scores would help you enrol in your preferred Engineering College. Various Engineering institutes provide admissions to B.Tech programmes such as – Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Biotech Engineering, Electronic Physics Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering.
Below is the list of the common Engineering Entrance Exam to acquire admittance into the top of the universities and courses-
JOINT ENTRANCE EXAM (JEE-MAIN)
JEE MAIN is the most common Engineering Entrance test performed by the candidates who are prepared for engineering.
This test was being held by the Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) until 2018. From 2019 and forward it will be administered by NTA.
JEE MAIN is relevant for admissions into many streams of engineering – Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Biotech Engineering, Electronic Physics Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering. For appearing in JEE MAIN candidates need to have a minimum of 75% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics/Biology in Class 12th from any accredited school board.
Most of the major institutions take JEE results into account for admissions into the B.Tech programmes. JEE Main test are qualified to apply for the JEE Advanced for admissions in Engineering or Architecture programmes at the top schools of India such as IITs, NITs, IIITs, CFTIs etc.
