Clearing the JEE Main exam in first attempt is not a difficult task. Several students clear JEE Main while in class 12. One thing that makes it easy to clear JEE Main with class 12 is that students are in regular touch of most JEE syllabus. To score good marks in JEE Main in the first attempt, it is advised that you study class 11 and 12 topics thoroughly, clear all the concepts and solve mock test papers. Also, NCERT books which you study in class 11 and 12 are the best books for JEE Main preparation. Students must study NCERT properly and solve all the questions in the book and do not memorize the concepts as some students do rather understand the concepts.

In the past five years, there has been a steady decline in enrollment for B.Tech and B.E courses due to a reduction in job opportunities in core streams. Fresher hiring by IT companies has notably decreased, dropping from 26% of overall passouts in FY22 to 15% and 10% in FY23 and FY24. However, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity, which continue to experience niche demand are in hope.

There is rising demand in emerging BTech specializations like Robotics Engineering, Biotechnology Engineering, Food Technology, etc. 

Aryans Group of Colleges offers BTech programme through Aryans College of Engineering. The institute is affiliated to IK Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU), Jalandhar. Its BTech programmes are approved by AICTE.

A general BTech CSE degree focuses on all CSE subjects. But in a more broader way. Students choose a more specific path in their last semester through electives. Whereas, when a student chooses a particular specialization, their curriculum starts shaping up around 3rd semester. all major class requirements like end term projects are based on your specialization.

Core branches are foundational B.Tech courses like Computer Science (CSE), Mechanical (ME), Electrical (EE), and Civil Engineering (CE). Specializations are more like sub genres of the core branches. One example being: Artificial Intelligence is a specialisation within Computer Science.

CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) and JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) are both involved in the seat allocation process for engineering admissions in IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs. However, via JoSAA seat are allotted to all available seats in IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs. But via CSAB seat is allotted only at NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs against the vacant seats left after JoSAA counselling last round based on JEE Main scores.

The total fee for BTech range from INR 4.5 lakh -INR 36 lakh. The fee is calculated based on the semester fee.  Admission to BTech course is based on LPUNEST or CUET UG score. After completion of the selection rounds, shortlisted aspirants need to pay the course fee to confirm their admission. Candidates are first required to register with an application fee for LPUNEST.

I think both SLIET and SMVDU are reputed institutes for B.Tech in India.

• SMVDU is better than SLIET for placement and facilities
• The package range of SLIET is INR 4 TO 19 Lakh.
• The package offered at SMVDU is INR 4.5 to 25 Lakh.
• The growth rate offered at SMVDU roughly 30%, 10% is SLIET.
