How to Get Admission in BTech without JEE Main? Check Here

New Delhi : We always thought that the Jee Main exam is the way to get admission into B.Tech courses. Though it's not wrong, many top engineering colleges offer admission to the most deserving candidates without JEE Main scores. JEE Main is the pathway for candidates planning to pursue an engineering program. However, sometimes even after earnest effort it becomes tough to break the shackles of the exam. Adding to that there is increasing competition for limited seats in colleges. Therefore, they look for other viable options to pursue an engineering degree.

Every year B.Tech admissions begin with the announcement of JEE Main results on their official website jeemain.in followed by a counseling round. But a few of the B.Tech colleges such as SRM institute, RV college, MS Ramaiah institute, etc grant admissions by conducting their own entrance exam or through other state-level entrance exams. If you are among the ones planning to pursue an engineering course, then check out the list of top engineering colleges that shortlist candidates.
