Admission Process
The admission to the Chemical Engineering program at SHA SHIB COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY follows a transparent and merit-based selection process. Applications are accepted through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced or JEE Main, depending on the category of applicants.
For general category candidates, eligibility is determined based on performance in JEE Advanced or JEE Main, followed by counseling rounds conducted by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). For reserved categories including SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, and PwD, additional considerations are made during the allocation process.
The application process begins with registration on the official website of SHA SHIB COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY. Applicants must fill out the online form, upload required documents, and pay the application fee. After verification, candidates receive an admit card for appearing in JEE Advanced or JEE Main.
Following the exam results, candidates are ranked according to their performance. The subsequent counseling round involves seat allocation based on merit, category preferences, and available seats in various institutions across India. Candidates must participate in the online counseling session and lock their choices to secure admission.
