Entrance Exam Process
Admission to the Electrical Engineering program is primarily through competitive entrance exams such as JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Candidates must register for these exams through official portals and appear in the prescribed examination dates.
JEE Main Preparation Strategy
Candidates are advised to start preparing early, focusing on strengthening core concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Regular practice with mock tests, timed problem-solving sessions, and conceptual clarity are essential for success. Online coaching platforms and study materials can supplement self-study efforts.
Application Submission
The application process begins online through the official website of the conducting body (e.g., CBSE or NTA). Applicants must upload scanned copies of necessary documents, pay the application fee, and submit their preferences for different categories and courses.
Document Verification
After qualifying in the entrance exam, candidates undergo document verification. Required documents include 12th-grade marksheet, admit card, category certificate (if applicable), identity proof, and address proof. Failure to provide valid documents may result in disqualification.
Counseling Process
The counseling process is conducted by the state or central authority responsible for seat allocation. Candidates must log into the official counseling portal, select available seats based on their ranks and preferences, and lock their choices. Seat allocation occurs through a merit-based system followed by waiting list management.
Seat Allocation
Seats are allocated based on rank obtained in the entrance exam, category-wise reservation, and availability of seats. Candidates who qualify for multiple rounds of counseling can update their preferences until final seat acceptance.
