Most universities in India will not allow students to give a B.Tech in Computer Science entry without writing the entrance exam. But, there are exceptions, like some private universities or institutions that give direct admissions through non-entrance tests management or institutional quota. Hence, your avenues here are:Private Universities: Most of the private universities, including VIT and Shiv Nadar University, SRM University, offer direct admissions through their own entrance tests (like VITEEE, SRMJEEE, etc.) or on merit. If you were to qualify based on eligibility criteria and score well in your 12th board exams (through Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics), then you could qualify for direct admission.Management Quota: There are several private engineering colleges which have seats under management quota and provide admissions without entrance exams. Generally, these seats are more expensive compared to merit seats. Visit the specific college to get more details.State or National Level Exams: Under this category, although there are colleges that do not require specific entrance tests for B.Tech in CS, public universities and almost all reputed colleges (like IITs, NITs, and IIITs) insist on JEE Main, JEE Advanced, or other state-level exams such as Andhra Pradesh EAPCET or TS EAMCET.Merit-Based Admission: Some colleges are also known to offer admission in the B.Tech based on Class 12 marks-the actual number of such colleges is less, and those will mostly be private or insignificant colleges.Thus, it is clear that while you do have chances for direct admission into some private institutions, the entrance exam is generally needed to study B.Tech in CS at almost all of the well-known colleges.

 The fee structure for B.Tech programs at LPU can vary depending on the specialisation and other factors like the type of accommodation (hostel), scholarships, and financial aid. The tuition fee typically ranges from INR 80,000 to INR 1,50,000 per semester, depending on the specialization. Some of the more specialised streams (like AI, Data Science, Cybersecurity, etc.) may have slightly higher fees. For a 4-year B.Tech program, the total cost (excluding hostel and additional expenses) is typically around INR 3.2 to INR 6 Lacs for the entire course. The fees may vary based on the specialisation chosen.  It's recommended to check the official LPU website or directly contact the admissions office for the most accurate and updated fee structure based on the current academic year.

"Changing branches in B.Tech can be challenging due to some several key reasons :Eligibility CriteriaMost colleges require a high minimum CGPA, typically around 7.5 to 8.0Different categories may have slightly different CGPA requirements (e.g., General category vs. SC/ST). Key ChallengesLimited seat availability in desired branches. Competitive selection processSome branches have restrictions on transfers (e.g., cannot change into core engineering from certain branches). Important ConsiderationsBranch change is usually possible after the first yearStudents need to be among the top performers in their current branch. Each college has its own specific rules and criteria.
