Well it's true. The syllabus for the B Tech EE course is usually updated regularly to keep in line with industry standards and the evolving technological fields. There are new elective subject choices and practical lab work added to meet the market demands.

There are a lot of academic institutions in India that provide merit-based admission to the BTech EE course. These colleges mostly conduct additional rounds like the GD or PI round to test the capability of the applicants.

If you have already chosen the Electrical Engineering colleges where you want to study the course, you can simply visit their official websites to check whether they offer merit-based admission or not. Since most of the popular institutes, like the IITs and the NITs, need valid entrance test marks, it is better if you work hard and appear for the entrance exam to have at least one backup option with you.

The Electrical Engineering course duration usually depends on the course level. The courses in Electrical Engineering are available at the diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctorate levels. The Diploma courses are usually 3 years long, which students can even pursue after completing Class 10. Diploma holders in Electrical Engineering can also apply for lateral entry admission to B Tech Electrical Engineering and enter directly in the second year of the course.

Talking about the BTech EE course, the duration in India is 4 years, while for the M Tech course in Electrical Engineering, the duration is 2 years in general. For PhD courses, the time span may vary from 3 years to 6 years on the basis of your research topic and the institution you're pursuing your doctorate degree at.
