Admissions:
Admission to BTech (Electrical Engineering) is done through the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) while the MTech (EE) is made through Joint Admission Test for MSc (JAM).

The qualifying marks for JEE Main to be eligible for admission to IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) vary from year to year and also depend on several factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, number of candidates appearing for the exam, etc. However, to be eligible for JEE Advanced (which is the entrance exam for admission to IITs), a candidate must secure the cutoff marks or be in the top 2,50,000 rank holders of JEE Main. This cutoff is based on the category of the candidate and is released separately for General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD candidates. It is important to note that qualifying for JEE Advanced does not guarantee admission to IITs as candidates also have to clear the JEE Advanced exam and fulfill other eligibility criteria such as age limit, educational qualification, etc. The final admission is based on the candidate's rank in JEE Advanced and the choice of their preferred IIT and branch.

Admission to NITs and IITs is based on the performance of candidates in the Joint Entrance Examination JEE Main and Advanced respectively. To be eligible for JEE Main a candidate must have passed their class 12th or equivalent examination with Physics Mathematics, and Chemistry as compulsory subjects. Additionally, the candidate must have secured a minimum of 75% marks (65% for SC/ST) or be in the top 20 percentile of their respective board examination. For admission to IITs, candidates need to qualify JEE Advanced which is the second stage of the JEE exam. The eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced are different from JEE Main and include factors such as the age limit, number of attempts, and qualifying marks in JEE Main.

The eligibility criteria for admission to B.Tech programs in IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other government engineering colleges are as follows:
Qualification: You should have passed your 10+2 or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Age Limit: You should be born on or after October 1, 1997, if you belong to the general category. There is a relaxation of five years for SC, ST, and PwD candidates. Minimum Marks: You should have secured a minimum of 75% marks in your class 12 board examination or be in the top 20 percentile of your board. For SC, ST, and PwD candidates, the minimum marks requirement is 65%. Entrance Exam: You need to appear for the JEE Main exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). A valid score in JEE Main is required to be eligible for admission to B.Tech programs in these institutes. Note that the eligibility criteria may vary slightly among different institutes and also based on the category you belong to. It is advisable to check the specific eligibility criteria of the institute you are interested in before applying.

Securing 100+ marks in JEE Mains requires dedication, consistency, and hard work. Here are some tips that can help you in your preparation:
Get a thorough understanding of the concepts: Build a strong foundation by understanding the concepts of Physics Chemistry and mathematics. This will help you to solve complex problems with ease.
Create a study plan: Plan your studies and set daily, weekly, and monthly targets. Allocate enough time to each subject based on your strengths and weaknesses.
Solve previous year's papers: Practice solving previous year's papers to understand the exam pattern, the types of questions asked, and the time management required.
Take mock tests: Take mock tests regularly to evaluate your performance and identify areas that require improvement.
Focus on time management: Learn to manage your time effectively during the exam. Solve the easier questions first and move on to the tougher ones later.
Stay motivated: Keep yourself motivated throughout the preparation process. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people. Use online resources: There are many online resources available such as online coaching classes, video lectures, and study materials. Use them to supplement your preparation. Remember, consistent and focused hard work is the key to achieving success in JEE Mains. Good luck with your preparation!
