How BTech Admissions Work
NITs, IIITs, GFTIs: Admission strictly via JEE Main + JoSAA counseling.
State Govt. Engineering Colleges: Admission via state-level exams/counseling (REAP in Rajasthan, HSTES in Haryana, UPSEE in UP, etc.).
Private Universities:
Some accept CUET scores for general UG courses.
For BTech, most rely on JEE Main percentile or their own entrance exams (like VITEEE, SRMJEEE, BITSAT).
A few universities (like Galgotias, LPU, CU, Amity) may consider CUET + Class 12 marks for BTech admission, but this is not the mainstream route.
