Engineering colleges offer admission without JEE Main Score

Introduction

JEE mains exam is known to be the most widely accepted engineering entrance exam in India. For IITs, NITs and CFTIs, this exam is a prerequisite along with other specified criteria. However, considering the number of applicants that touched a staggering number of 22 lakhs in 2021, the chances of students that get through the permissible rank is very little. At times, this invokes feelings of helplessness in candidates as their chances of making it through and obtaining admission to premier engineering institutions gets restricted. This is where most private universities step in. At the end of the day, what you pursue holds more significance than where you pursue it from. To make higher education accessible for all, there are other exams for engineering that open up a lot of options for aspiring candidates to pursue their dream course.

Types of Exams to Pursue B.Tech in Engineering

To pursue bachelors of technology or a bachelor’s of engineering in India, there are three levels of exams and a candidate has to clear at least one of them to secure admission in these courses. A program as prestigious as engineering requires a minimum level of background in the three main functional subjects, physics, chemistry and math’s. This is why engineering entrance exams are required, in order to qualify the students that are passionate about pursuing a career in engineering.

I. National Level Exams For B.Tech

National level exams are conducted throughout the country, and any candidate can appear for these exams, given they satisfy the eligibility criteria. Mostly, institutes of national importance consider these exams a necessity to grant admission to students into engineering courses. The most common exams that fall under this are JEE mains and JEE advance.

II. State Level Exams To Study Engineering

These exams are conducted on a state level, and all universities accepting these exams are situated in that particular state itself. Usually, appearing for these exams requires the students to submit a domicile certificate. Many private and public universities participate in these exams and offer the students of that state a chance to pursue B.tech or BE courses in their university.

III. University Level Exams To Pursue Btech In Engineering

University level examinations are those entrance exams that are specific to each university. Unlike state and national level exams, only one university accepts these entrances and students who manage to make it through their provisional lists are given admission into these universities after counselling is done. Both public and private universities come under this category.

Top Engineering Exams Other Than JEE Mains

Since JEE mains and JEE advance comes under national level exams, the other two categories are spared. There are still a plethora of exams available for engineering aspirants to secure admission into prestigious universities. Many students believe that there’s no hope for them if they don't rank high enough in their JEE exam. But that is untrue, and there are a multiplicity of institutions that offer students lucrative future prospects without considering the JEE score. Given below is a list of exams on both state level as well as university levels that allow students a chance to get admission into their courses without their JEE score.

It may be surprising to some, but there are presently more than 3500 colleges that have Btech or BE degrees in engineering. So even if you may not make it in the top 20 institutions, you still have a long shot at several others. Students also must keep a backup plan ready and rigorously apply to the shortlisted colleges according to their choice of course, preferences and other factors that they might consider important.

Thus, apart from IITs and NITs, there are a vast number of colleges that come to the rescue for students who wish to fetch a degree in engineering, including private and public institutions both, many of which are listed above.
