Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the B.Tech Cyber Security program at SSSUTMS is conducted through a combination of national-level entrance exams and internal evaluation criteria. The primary mode of selection involves qualifying in either JEE Advanced or JEE Main followed by counseling procedures administered by the university.
Applicants must first register online via the official website of the university, ensuring all details are accurately filled out. The application form requires personal information, academic history, and contact details. After submission, candidates will receive a confirmation email with a unique application number for future reference.
Following the initial registration, applicants must appear for JEE Advanced or JEE Main depending on their eligibility. For those who qualify in either exam, they are required to participate in the centralized counseling process organized by the university.
