B.Tech Admissions on the basis of Class 12th

Team Careers360Updated on 12 Aug 2025, 05:33 PM IST

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.

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.

Hi aspirant,

If you are willing to give jee and you are in 12 th then it is best to focus from now on as u have to give your boards this year as well . And according to the exam pattern you can prepare for your jee prelims with you boards at the same time it is hardly differ from each other . But if you have 0 preparation and even your basics are not clear then i suggest u to take a drop and prepare to the fullest for next year thankyou .
