Environmental Engineering

Yes, reserved category students (such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.) do get relaxation in marks for admission to BTech Environmental Engineering. Relaxation typically works in:

Jee Mains 

Jee Advanced 

State level college 

Private college 

Yes, you can get admission to BTech Environmental Engineering without giving the entrance exam through:

Merit based admission 

Direct admission 

Lateral entry for Diploma holders

Foreign admission 

It depends on which entrance exam you are referring to. For example:

JEE Advanced is very difficult 

JEE Mains is moderate to difficult 

State level exams are moderate

Private university exams are easy 

Well, this is quite subjective and depends on the individual pursuing the course. From a neutral point of view, the integrated BTech Civil Engineering + M.Tech Environmental Engineering can be an excellent option for students to take up after completing Class 12, as it allows you to have a dual degree in 5 years, saving your time and money. Further, it lets you learn advanced concepts of the field that may lead to better career prospects and earning opportunities in the future. 

So, the choice is completely up to you. Best of luck.

To score outstanding marks and rank in the entrance test, it is better to start preparing at least 8 to 10 months before the final exam date. Early preparation gives you an opportunity to cover the maximum exam syllabus topics, practice previous year question papers and mock tests, and do a thorough revision at the end, which can significantly increase your chances of getting good marks and being shortlisted for admission to BTech Environmental Engineering.

You can definitely get lateral entry admission to the BTech Environmental Engineering course after completing a 3-year engineering Diploma in a relevant discipline and getting at least 50% marks in the final exams. There are a few colleges that provide lateral entry admissions, owing to which you can directly get admission to the 2nd year of BTech Environmental Engineering and complete the UG degree in 3 years instead of 4 years. Examples include Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research (Chennai) and Hindustan College of Science and Technology (Mathura).

A majority of the BTech Environmental Engineering colleges in India do charge an admission application fee of approximately INR 500 to INR 3,000, which varies on the basis of the college, its NIRF ranking, location, placements, and student popularity.

Note: This is just an estimated figure. You can find the detailed fee structure for the course on the respective college websites.

You can find some important documents needed at the time of the BTech Environmental Engg. admission process at colleges across India below:

• Class 12 Mark Sheet with at least 50 to 60% marks
• Provisional Certificate (if the original isn't issued yet)
• Entrance Exam Scorecard and Admit Card Copy (if applicable)
• Class 10 Mark Sheet (may be needed)
• A Valid Identity Proof
• Reserved Category Certificate (if applicable)
• Migration and Character Certificates (if applicable)
• Recent Passport-Size Photos

The BTech Environmental Engineering course teaches you a lot of important, transferable skills during the coursework duration. The skills are not necessarily to be learned within the four walls of the classroom but can be learned via internships, lab work, and workshop sessions. Here are a few important skills that you'll learn:
• Strong Knowledge of Environmental Awareness
• Understanding of Pollution Control and Wastewater Management Strategies
• Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving Aptitude
• Project Management
• Creative and Analytical Approach
• Good Industrial Knowledge
• CAD Proficiency
• Excellent Communication

The time span of courses in Environmental Engineering varies on the basis of the course level at which you're planning to pursue the course. For BTech Environmental Engineering, the general duration is 4 years, while for M Tech in Environmental Engineering, the time required is 2 years.

In the case of diploma courses after Class 10, you need to invest 3 years, while certificate courses last less than 1 year. For environmental researchers, a few institutes also offer a PhD in Environmental Engineering that is 3 to 6 years long based on your chosen area of research.
