Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the Industrial Maintenance program at Government Polytechnic Bash Bagarh is highly competitive and follows a rigorous selection procedure based on performance in national-level entrance examinations such as JEE Main and JEE Advanced. The process begins with online application submission and concludes with seat acceptance after counseling.
Applications are typically open from March to April, and candidates must fill out the form with accurate personal details, academic history, and preferred course choices. The application fee is fixed at INR 1000 for general category students and INR 500 for SC/ST/PwD categories.

Exam Preparation Strategy
Preparing for the JEE Advanced exam requires a strategic and disciplined approach. Candidates should begin by thoroughly reviewing the syllabus and identifying core topics that are frequently tested in past papers. It is recommended to create a structured study plan covering all subjects—Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry—with dedicated time slots for each topic.
Regular practice of numerical problems and conceptual understanding are key elements of successful preparation. Solving previous years' question papers and mock tests helps candidates familiarize themselves with the exam pattern and improves time management skills. Additionally, joining coaching institutes or online platforms can provide expert guidance and additional resources.
The counseling process involves multiple stages including seat allocation based on merit, document verification, and payment of fees. Candidates must carefully review their allocated seats and complete all formalities within the specified deadlines to secure admission.
