Yes, you can do M.Arch after B.Tech in Civil, but only a few colleges allow it. Most require a B.Arch degree. If you're really interested, look for M.Arch (Environmental Planning or Urban Design) where civil grads are sometimes accepted.

Some Indian colleges that allow BTech credit transfers from Canada are:

Lovely Professional University accepts students with valid Canadian credits into 2nd or 3rd year.
Manipal University runs an international programme with transfer options.
Sharda University also allows credit-based entry.
These colleges are flexible, but final approval depends on subject match and transcripts.

The last rank for B.Tech admission via JEE Main for other state SC category varies by college and branch. In NITs, SC students from other states usually get CSE up to 1.5–2 Lacs rank, and lower branches may go up to 5–6 lakh. Check JoSAA's previous year cutoff for exact data.

You can study on your own for Electrical Engineering courses without attending formal classes, but it may result in a lack of formal recognition, practical resources, a structured curriculum approach, and self-discipline. Using good, reliable textbooks by creating a study plan is definitely the right approach, but you should keep track of the industry demands and practical opportunities and explore real-world applications to enter the workspace.

There isn't a set number of reference books that need to be followed for each subject in the Electrical Engineering syllabus for various courses, but usually, it is preferred to adhere to one primary textbook by a popular author and combine it with additional resources like online web articles, YouTube videos from experienced professors or experts, and e-library study material.

Almost all of the colleges offering Electrical Engineering courses follow a balanced approach where the theory-based subjects are assessed through semester exams that are conducted after every 6 months, along with individual and group research projects and class assignments. The division may vary with more weightage being given to the semester exams, around 60 to 70%, and the remainder to the practical component. 

Some important books that provide a fundamental understanding of electric circuits and related theory are given here

• Fundamentals of Digital Circuits by Kumar A Anand
• Fundamentals of Electric Circuits by Charles K. Alexander and Matthew Sadiku
• Fundamentals of Electric Circuit Theory by D. Chattopadhyaya
• Electronic Devices and Circuits by David A. Bell

Generally, the textbooks prescribed for the Electrical Engineering subjects are considered to be a reliable source for learning, but you can refer to various other e-resources like YouTube videos by some expert professors or professionals in the field, digital articles and essays, and the e-library of your college (if available). This adds to your understanding of the concepts and builds a strong foundational base.

The VTUEEE application fee for the online applications can be paid online through Debit card/ Credit card/ Net banking. For the offline applications, the fees can be paid in cash at the institute fee counter or through DD.

The acceptance rate for the University of Calgary Engineering is 20% for international students. The low percentage showcases that the university is stringent during admission and follows a strict procedure while selecting candidates for the programs. The factors including academic scores, GPA, standardized test scores, English language requirements, and extracurricular activities have high weightage during admission. Students must focus on these factors to increase their chances of selection.
