Admissions Process
The admission process for the Computer Engineering program at Government Polytechnic Bazpur is highly competitive and follows a structured approach based on national-level entrance examinations such as JEE Main or JEE Advanced. The goal is to select the most qualified candidates who demonstrate academic excellence, aptitude, and potential for success in engineering studies.
Application Process
The application process begins with the release of the official admission notification, typically around February or March each year. Interested candidates must complete the online application form available on the university website. The form requires personal details, academic history, category information, and preferred examination centers.
Candidates are required to upload scanned copies of their educational certificates, identity proof, photograph, and signature. All documents must be clear, legible, and in JPG or PDF format. A processing fee of INR 1,000 is applicable for general category candidates, while SC/ST/PwD categories are exempted from this fee.
After submission, the application undergoes verification by the admissions committee. Candidates who pass the initial screening are issued a unique application number and login credentials for further steps in the process.

Candidates must have completed their 12th-grade education with a minimum aggregate of 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). Additionally, they should have passed the qualifying examination with at least 45% in each subject. For SC/ST/PwD categories, the threshold is slightly lower to ensure inclusivity.
Entrance Examination
The qualifying examination for admission is either JEE Main or JEE Advanced, depending on the candidate's preference and eligibility. The exam tests candidates' knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with a focus on problem-solving abilities and conceptual understanding.
JEE Main is typically conducted twice a year, in January and April, while JEE Advanced is held once annually in May. Candidates who qualify in JEE Main are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced if they meet the additional criteria such as securing a percentile rank above 95% or clearing the minimum qualifying marks.
Counseling Process
After the announcement of results, candidates proceed to the counseling process. The counseling is conducted online and involves several stages:
- Choice Filling: Candidates are required to fill in their preferences for colleges and branches based on their ranks and available seats.
- Seat Allocation: Seats are allocated based on merit and preferences, with priority given to higher-ranked candidates.
- Document Verification: Selected candidates must submit original documents for verification at the designated centers.
- Fee Payment: Once seat allocation is confirmed, candidates must pay the required fees within the specified deadline.
- Admission Confirmation: Final admission is confirmed upon successful payment and document verification.
Candidates are advised to carefully consider factors such as location preferences, branch popularity, and seat availability when filling their choices. The counseling process also includes a round of spot allocation for remaining seats if any.
