Admission Process
The admission process for the B.Tech Electrical Engineering program at Mahatama Gandhi University Ri Bhoi is conducted through a centralized selection mechanism based on national-level entrance examinations. Students can apply either through JEE Advanced or JEE Main, depending on their eligibility and preference.
Step-by-Step Admission Process
- Application Submission: Interested candidates must fill out the application form available on the official website of the university. The application window typically opens in March or April each year.
- Document Verification: After submission, applicants are required to upload scanned copies of all necessary documents including academic certificates, identity proof, and category certificate (if applicable).
- Entrance Examination: Candidates who qualify through the entrance exam proceed to the next stage. The university conducts a centralized counseling process based on the merit list generated from JEE Advanced or JEE Main.
- Counseling Round: Successful candidates participate in online counseling sessions where they can choose their preferred programs and colleges based on available seats and preferences.
- Seat Acceptance: Once a seat is allocated, candidates must confirm acceptance by paying the required fees within the specified deadline. Failure to do so results in automatic de-allocation of the seat.
