No, candidates cannot take admission in BTech at NIT Uttarakhand without JEE Main. It is the mandatory national-level entrance test for admission through JoSAA/CSAB counselling. Admission is based entirely on your JEE Main Rank and counseling round.

2) Participate in CSAB — extra chance

3) Don't skip state counselling — OBC quota there can be very beneficial
