Engineering Entrance Exam

As per the official website, Amity University Gwalior accepts JEE Main scores for BTech admissions. Thus, students seeking admission can apply via JEE Main scores. Those who wish to apply via JEE Main must know that the JEE Main tentative dates for sessions 1 and 2 have been announced by the NTA. As per the announcement, session 1 exam is tentatively scheduled to be held in January and the second session in April. 

As a bio student, you can pursue a B.Tech in Food Technology without JEE Mains by applying to colleges that do not require the exam for admission. Some institutions offer direct entry or accept state-level entrance exams for B.Tech Food Technology. For example, colleges like Jadavpur University and various state-level universities might offer this course with alternative entry pathways.

For the B.Tech course in Information Technology at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Mumbai, the cutoff for the general category (GOPENS) in the 2024 MHT CET is expected to be around 99 percentile. Last year, the cutoff was 99.84%. For other categories such as OBC and SC/ST, the cutoff percentile is generally lower, around 99-95 depending on the category.

Given your 979 intermediate exam grades and 89 percentile JEE Mains scores, you stand a good chance of being accepted into SASTRA Universitys Computer Science Engineering (CSE) programme in Thanjavur. There are two routes for admissions:

Stream 1: Comprising normalised 12th marks (75%) and the JEE Mains (25%) accounts for 70% of seats.
Stream 2: Covering the remaining 30% based only on 12th grade grades.
The merit-based requirements of Stream 1 are adequately met by your scores. But there is fierce rivalry for CSE, and the final admission results rely on the total number of applicants and the cutoffs

Your JEE B.Arch score determines your admission to NIT Srinagars B.Arch programme and the cutoffs change annually. Your chances of getting into NIT Srinagar with an 81% JEE B.Arch score depend on your overall rank and the particular category you're applying under. While more well-known NITs tend to have higher cutoffs, NIT Srinagar normally admits applicants with JEE B.Arch ranks ranging from 20,000 to 50,000. Make sure you fulfil the requirements for eligibility which include having a valid JEE B.Arch test result and the necessary paperwork for your category

No, a colored photo uploaded rather than a black-and-white photo in the JEE Mains form usually doesn't create any problem at the counseling process, if your photo is according to guidelines-clear background, right size, and the latest one. Usually, both colored and black-and-white photos are allowed. Still, you keep a copy of the same photo that you upload. And keep your documents in order too.

If concerned, you may call the NTA- National Testing Agency helpline for confirmation, but such small variations are not likely to cause any problem.
