Engineering Entrance Exam

Hello Jyoti,
For joining IIT for civil engineering you have to appear in JEE Mains and Advance and if you want to join PG Program then you have to appear in exam GATE. I hope you understand that both the exams are compulsory to appear for joining IIT but both are at different level.

You should do whatever you are passionate about, if you are interested in doing chemical engineering then go for it.

If you have studied well for UP board exams then you may try for JEE this year itself. UP board is tough as compared to CBSE and you still have time for the exam. You can prepare well. Also, if you are not able to crack JEE and don't get a good engineering college then you can drop a year. But remember that your target are IITs but if you are getting admission in a reputed institute like DTU, BITS Pilani or NITs then also do not take a drop, rather take admission in those colleges as they also offer good placements.

You need above 230 marks to get into top colleges, above 200 for tier NITs and above 150 for 3rd tier NITs.

The marks in CS in IIT Kanpur depends on the difficulty of the paper. Rank under 200 for B.Tech CS is considered in top IITs and around 300 marks.

Try for IISC or IISER or just through KVPY or JEE Advanced. The best colleges are under JEE so it's not waste of time if you are in position to crack it or else B.Sc physics is always an option then IIT JAM for Masters.

If it is JEE Mains then solve TMH JEE Mains for maths, HCV for physics, RC Mukherjee for chemistry, Himanshu Pandey for organic chemistry and mug up full NCERT for inorganic.
Solve IIT JEE and Mains past year's papers honestly without frequently looking at the answers and then you may get more than your expectations.

You can do it. Try to score higher than 75% or try to be in top 20 percentile. Any of the two is acceptable.

You can consider following colleges:
1. BITSAT
2. SRM University
3. Manipal University
4. Poornima University
5. Amity University
6. LPU University
