To join the B Tech programme at Kalasalingam University, you need to have passed your HSC from a recognised board with at least 50%. Your 10+2 should have subjects like Mathematics/Biology, Physics, and Chemistry.

If you're studying MPC, you can apply for all Kalasalingam University Engineering Courses. But if you're in BPC, you can only apply for B.Tech. Bio-stream Engineering programs like Biotechnology or Food Technology.

To get in, you usually need to take the Kalasalingam University Engineering Entrance Exam (KUEE). But if you've already done well in the JEE Main, you might not need to take the KUEE. If you have a High School Diploma from NWAC-US, you're also eligible, but you need a certificate from the AIU. Candidates from NIOS can also apply.

They've got a way for people who want to join the B.Tech programme later, too. This provision is called Kalasalingam University B.Tech Lateral Entry. If you have a three-year Diploma and scored over 60%, you can apply. Your selection will depend on your KUEE Scores.

The admission process for B.Tech at Chitkara College of Applied Engineering involves the following steps:

- Selection is based on the merit ranking of candidates in the JEE Main exam.
- Candidates must apply online or offline through the official website of Chitkara University and submit the required documents and fees.
- Eligibility criteria include a minimum aggregate of 60% or securing 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Class 12.
- Seats for B.E. programs are allocated based on the merit ranking of students in JEE Main exams.

This process emphasizes the significance of JEE Main scores and meeting academic criteria for securing admission to B.Tech programs at Chitkara College of Applied Engineering.

I would say, focus on JEE Advanced. If you have scored 97.1 percentile, then you have a real chance of being into IITs if you prepare well and strategically. There is a big difference between IITs and NITs. Even though top NITs are comparable to some of the IITs but still IIT is at different level. Not saying NITs are bad, some are really decent and reputable. Aim for that.

Since you requested for the answer, so anyway I am answering your question. Your percentile is 97.1 so I guess your rank will be around 25,000. With this rank you can get into some lower branch in top 3 NITs,

Electrical/Mechanical/Civil in NIT Allahabad and Rourkela.

ECE in some other decent NITs like Jaipur, nagpur, Calicut, Surat.

CSE/IT in some fairly good Other NITs.

But still I would say focus on JEE Advanced, with some good preparation you can get some decent branch in decent IITs.
