To enroll in a B Tech in Information Technology (IT) program, candidates must have completed their 10+2 (or equivalent) education from a recognized board with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) as core subjects. Most institutions require a minimum of 50-60% aggregate marks in these subjects, though the exact percentage varies by university. Reserved category students (SC/ST/OBC) may have relaxation in the minimum percentage criteria.
Additionally, candidates must qualify for engineering entrance exams like JEE Main, state-level entrance tests (e.g., WBJEE, MHT CET, KCET), or specific university entrance exams. Some private universities also offer direct admissions based on merit or management quota. Diploma holders in relevant engineering fields may apply for lateral entry into the second year of the B.Tech IT program through LEET (Lateral Entry Entrance Test). Candidates should also meet age and nationality requirements set by the respective institutions. Admissions are merit-based, considering entrance exam scores and academic performance.
