Admission Process
The admission to the B.Tech Computer Engineering program at Government Polytechnic Tanakpur follows a rigorous and transparent process designed to ensure fair selection of eligible candidates. The primary mode of admission is through JEE Advanced or JEE Main scores, with a few seats reserved for lateral entry based on merit in relevant diploma courses.
Applicants must register online via the official website of the institution or designated portal. Once registered, they are required to complete the application form by filling in personal details, educational background, and preferences for categories and specializations. All documents must be uploaded in PDF format as per guidelines provided on the portal.
The next step involves verifying the submitted information through an automated system that cross-checks data with external databases. Any discrepancies found during this stage may lead to rejection of applications or requests for additional documentation. Applicants are advised to carefully review all entries before final submission to avoid delays in processing.
After verification, applicants are required to pay the application fee using net banking, debit/credit cards, or UPI transactions. Payment confirmation generates a unique receipt number which serves as proof of payment. Candidates who have paid the fee are eligible to appear for counseling rounds where they can select their preferred institutions and branches based on merit.
Eligibility criteria for admission include:
- Completion of 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English as core subjects.
- A minimum aggregate percentage of 60% in the qualifying examination (55% for SC/ST/PwD candidates).
- Age limit: Must not exceed 20 years as of 31st December of the admission year (age relaxation applicable for reserved categories).
