B.Tech Admissions on the basis of Class 12th - There are many national, state and university-level BTech exams conducted in India. However, contrary to the notion that an entrance exam is compulsory for BTech admission, several colleges solely accept class 12 merit. In today's highly competitive environment, students often begin preparing for entrance exams during their school years. The dedication and effort required for this pursuit are indeed substantial. Unfortunately, some candidates find it challenging to cope with this pressure and may end up disappointed. Consequently, some opt to appear for only one or two entrance exams. Increasingly, many students are exploring the option of securing engineering admissions based on their Class 12th marks. This offers an alternative means of gaining admission to esteemed colleges and universities. However, information about B.Tech admissions based on Class 12th is not widely known.

It's essential to recognise that B.Tech admissions based on Class 12th marks are indeed a viable option. However, it's important to understand that these admissions often play a supplementary role to the more prominent admissions process through entrance exams such as JEE (Main) or state-held entrance exams. Additionally, candidates should be aware that admission to state-based colleges may be subject to domicile regulations, which prioritise candidates from the respective state. All aspiring candidates are strongly advised to thoroughly assess their eligibility and review the specific details of institutions offering B.Tech. admissions based on Class XII marks.

I belong to BC caste. Should I apply as OBC or general in Jee mains registration?

Hello,

If you belong to the BC (Backward Class) category, you can choose OBC-NCL in JEE Mains only if your caste is included in the Central OBC list released by the Government of India.

Here’s how it works:

  • Central OBC list: Used for national-level exams like JEE, NEET, UPSC, etc.

  • State BC list: Used only for state-level admissions or jobs.

So, if your BC caste name is in the Central list, select OBC–NCL while filling the JEE form.
If your caste is not in the Central list, choose General category, because the state BC certificate won’t be valid for JEE.

Example:
If you’re BC in Tamil Nadu but your caste isn’t in India’s Central list, you’ll be counted as General for JEE.

Hope you understand.

Is it compulsory to fill APAAR ID in JEE Mains application. Even though correct number entered, it is showing credentials are mismatch

Hello,

No, it’s not compulsory to fill the APAAR ID in the JEE Main application form right now.

If your APAAR ID shows a “credential mismatch” error even after entering the correct number, don’t worry, you can simply leave it blank and continue filling the form.

  • The APAAR ID field is optional for most students.

  • It’s mainly for linking your academic records under the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) system.

  • The mismatch often happens if your Aadhaar details or school record name format differ.

So, you can submit your JEE form without the APAAR ID, and it won’t affect your application.


Hope you understand.
