Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the B.Tech Electronics program at Electronics Service And Training Centre is highly competitive and follows a structured approach to ensure merit-based selection. Applications are accepted through various entrance exams including JEE Advanced, JEE Main, and state-level engineering entrance examinations.
For candidates appearing in JEE Advanced, they must meet specific eligibility criteria related to their performance in the exam as well as academic achievements in 12th grade. Similarly, those applying through JEE Main must fulfill minimum percentage requirements and subject combinations as outlined by the university.
The application process begins online, where students register using valid details including personal information, educational history, and contact data. After registration, applicants must upload scanned copies of required documents such as identity proof, photograph, signature, and academic certificates.
Once the application form is submitted, the system generates a unique application number for tracking purposes. Candidates are then required to pay the application fee online via debit card, credit card, or net banking. The payment confirmation is displayed on the screen, along with a receipt that serves as proof of submission.
After successful payment, candidates can download and print their admit cards from the official website using login credentials provided during registration. The admit card contains important details like exam date, time, venue, and center code.
The entrance examination is conducted in a computer-based format, with questions based on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. For Electronics students, there are specific questions aligned with the program’s focus areas including digital logic, electrical circuits, and basic electronics concepts.
Following the exam, the results are announced through the official website, where candidates can view their scores and rank positions. Based on these ranks, the counseling process begins, involving multiple rounds of seat allocation based on preferences chosen by applicants.

Exam Preparation Strategy and Counseling Tips
Preparing for entrance exams like JEE Advanced or JEE Main requires a well-structured plan and consistent effort. Candidates are advised to start early, ideally 12–18 months before the exam date. The first step involves creating a detailed study schedule that allocates time for each subject based on its weightage and difficulty level.
It is crucial to follow high-quality study materials such as NCERT textbooks, reference books by authors like H.C. Verma (Physics), O.P. Tandon (Chemistry), and R.D. Sharma (Mathematics). Additionally, taking regular mock tests and analyzing performance helps identify weak areas that require improvement.
During the counseling phase, candidates must carefully review the preferences list before submitting choices. Prioritizing popular institutions and branches ensures better chances of securing admission. It is also advisable to consider backup options in case top preferences are not available due to competition.
The counseling process involves multiple rounds where seats are allocated based on merit and preferences. Candidates who do not get a seat in the first round may participate in subsequent rounds if there are vacant seats. Seat acceptance requires payment of the required fee within specified deadlines to confirm enrollment.
