Admission Process Overview
The admission to the Electrical Engineering program at JAWAHARLAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BORAWAN follows a structured process that begins with the application submission and concludes with seat acceptance. The primary entrance exams accepted are JEE Advanced and JEE Main, both conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Students interested in pursuing B.Tech in Electrical Engineering must first register for the relevant entrance exam and obtain a valid rank. After receiving their results, candidates proceed to the counseling stage, where they can choose from available seats across different branches based on their preferences and merit.
Step-by-Step Admission Procedure
- Application Submission: Candidates must complete the online application form available on the official website of JEE Advanced or JEE Main. The application fee varies depending on the category (General, SC/ST, OBC-NCL, PwD).
- Exam Conduct: The entrance exam is conducted twice annually—JEE Advanced in May and JEE Main in January/February.
- Result Declaration: Results are announced on the respective websites. Candidates receive their rank (All India Rank or AIR) after the result declaration.
- Counseling Registration: Based on the rank, candidates must register for counseling through the official website of JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority).
- Choice Filling: During counseling, students fill in their preferred colleges and branches based on their ranks and preferences. The system allocates seats according to merit and availability.
- Seat Acceptance: After allocation, candidates must confirm the seat by paying the required fees within the specified deadline. Failure to accept the seat results in forfeiture of the allocated seat.
