One should score at least 50 percent (40 per cent) marks in the qualifying examination. Enrolment tends to be based on merit through the graduation scores. The applicants are required to make application via the web page of the university, to be selected and then come to the university to facilitate verification of documents and payment of fees to validate the admission.

This is a common question that most of the students have in mind since pursuing a BTech degree is no cakewalk when it comes to the financial aspect of it. The total cost of pursuing BTech at popular private colleges ranges between INR 2 lakh and INR 15 lakh approx., depending on the college and your chosen specialization, while for government colleges, it is around INR 50,000 to INR 8 lakh.

But the good part is, you can easily cover all of your academic expenses after completing the BTech degree, as it offers exceptionally good earning potential across work sectors with recruiters looking for talented BTech graduates to join them every year. You can easily earn an average salary of INR 5 LPA to INR 8 LPA at the beginning itself, given you have the required skill set and knowledge to become an asset for the recruiter.

In the first year of the BTech coursework, you will learn basic computer programming, applied mathematics, applied physics and mechanics irrespective of the specialization opted for by you so that you have a strong foundational base for the rigorous academic journey ahead.

From second year onwards you dive into the specific specialization-related core subjects that are coupled with elective subject choices, lab work, informative workshops and capstone projects.

Basically, the focus of the BTech course is to equip you with knowledge about engineering fundamentals and technical aptitude so that you can take up good job roles in the future and do justice to the job by applying both theory and practical knowledge learned during the 4 years of the academic ride at the university.

As far as the BTech academic journey is concerned, no doubt there are exceptional upsides of the engineering degree in terms of earning potential, job satisfaction score, career prospects, and respectability in society. However, there are a few downsides too that you must be aware of before heading towards the academic lane, as listed below.

• Difficulty in grasping the vast coursework that may also come across as quite overwhelming at times
• Not being able to cope with the academic pressure that demands theory-based learning along with extensive practical training and hands-on expertise via laboratory classes and project work
• Unable to manage your time and struggling with work and personal life balance
• Lack of industry readiness and financial crisis may also be added to the list.

You can tackle all of these with patience, dedication, and seeking support from your friends, family, and professionals in the field.
