Admissions Process
The admission process for the Robotics program at BHABHA ENGINEERING RESEARCH INSTITUTE is highly competitive and designed to select candidates who demonstrate both academic excellence and a strong passion for technology and innovation.
Applicants must meet certain eligibility criteria, which are outlined in detail below:
| Criteria | Description |
|---|---|
| Age Limit | Must be at least 17 years and not more than 25 years as of July 1st of the admission year. |
| Qualifying Exam | Passing marks in the 12th standard or equivalent examination conducted by a recognized board. |
| Minimum Percentage in 12th Grade | A minimum aggregate of 75% (or equivalent GPA) is required in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics combined. |
| Subject Combinations | Students must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects in their qualifying examination. |
The primary mode of admission is through the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE Advanced) conducted by IITs. Alternatively, students may also apply through other recognized entrance exams such as JEE Main or state-level engineering entrance examinations.
After qualifying in the entrance exam, candidates must complete the online application process via the institute's official portal. The application includes personal details, academic history, and preferences for various categories including General, EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and all PwD sub-categories.
The selection process involves ranking candidates based on their entrance exam scores and other relevant factors such as bonus points for reserved categories and regional preferences. Candidates who qualify are called for counseling sessions where they can choose their preferred branch and seat allocation.
Following the counseling, successful applicants must complete the final verification and seat acceptance procedures by paying the required fees within the specified deadline.

Exam Preparation Strategy
To prepare effectively for the entrance exam, aspirants should adopt a structured approach that combines intensive study with regular practice tests and mock exams. Key strategies include:
- Time Management: Allocate specific hours daily to each subject—Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics—with emphasis on weak areas.
- Concept Clarity: Focus on understanding fundamental concepts rather than rote memorization. Use standard textbooks and reference materials for in-depth knowledge.
- Practice Tests: Regularly attempt timed practice tests to improve speed and accuracy. Analyze mistakes and work on areas of improvement.
- Revision: Schedule regular revision sessions to reinforce learning and retain information effectively.
- Stay Updated: Keep up with current affairs, especially in science and technology, as these topics often appear in the exam.
The institute also organizes coaching sessions and workshops for aspiring students. These resources provide valuable insights into exam patterns, syllabus coverage, and effective preparation techniques.
Counseling Process
Once candidates receive their rank cards, they must participate in the counseling process conducted by the institute. The counseling involves:
- Choice Filling: Candidates fill in preferences for branches and categories based on their ranks and availability.
- Seat Allocation: Seats are allocated based on merit and category-wise cutoffs, with priority given to reserved categories.
- Fee Payment: Successful candidates must pay the required fees within the stipulated timeframe to confirm their admission.
