Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management

No, Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management appears to accept a valid JEE Main score or rank for direct admission to their B.Tech course into the first year, based on the information above.

However, two alternatives can be considered here.

Lateral Entry: In the case of an engineering diploma, a candidate is directly eligible to join the second year of B.Tech. This does not generally involve taking the JEE Main either.

The exact amount charged for B.Tech at AIEM varies with the course followed and whether you are a fresh student or lateral entry one. However, from what I found, here is the estimated range:

Total tuition fee:

INR 2 - 3.4 Lakh

Lateral Entry:

The fee difference is very high for ECE/ CSE and the rest of the branches like Electrical Engineering/ Mechanical Engineering/ Civil Engineering.

ECE/CSE: Package: INR 1,25,000 total for the program; Semester fee: INR 18,000 to INR 20,850

Other branches: Package: INR 2,20,000 total for the program; Semester fee: INR 30,850 onwards.

The ones at the top vary as regards their specializations in B.Tech from Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management. What I have learnt from various sources follows.

The highest package for placements in the Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management varies from source to source and on the actual programme offered. These are the findings: 

On the website: This year 2022 maximum package is referred to be placed at INR 6 LPA.

On Shiksha: there are varied reports, in which few have stated about the highest package of being 10 LPA; others have stated about an INR 8 LPA.

Therefore, it will be hard to say. Some of the highest packages have been around INR 6 LPA-20 LPA plus the year, program, and company.

The institute does not offer direct admissions. Admission to the B.Tech courses is given through the scores or ranks in the JEE Main/WBJEE. However, there are lateral entry opportunities to join the second year of B.Tech.

Here is the step-by-step admission process:

B.Tech First Year:

Eligibility: Candidates have to qualify their 12th standard with 45% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Admission: Admission occurs through JEE Main/WBJEE ranks.

B.Tech Second Year (Lateral Entry):

Eligibility: The candidate has to complete a Diploma in Engineering from any institution.

Admission: Admission occurs through the WBJEE ranks.

Admission to Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management is strictly on rank in JEE Main or WBJEE, category, and the branch one desires to pursue. This is a good college with decent placements, however, with very high competition for popular branches. One would advise checking the previous year's cut-offs and talking to your admission office to better understand your chances.
