...moreThe following requirements must be fulfilled in order to switch branches at an IIT: CGPA: By the end of the second semester, candidates who are SC, ST, or PwD must have a CGPA of at least 7, and those who are not must have a CGPA of at least 8. Course credits: All needed credits, including those for non-graded courses, must have been earned during the first two semesters. Backlogs: By the end of the second semester, you must have no backlogs. No disciplinary action must have been taken against you. Only at the conclusion of the second semester are branch changes allowed, and they take effect in the third semester. The modification is definitive and binding once it is made. Some prestigious IITs, such as IIT Hyderabad and IIT Bombay, have closed branch change choices because students are more interested in core branches. Core branches offer more job and career options.
