Nanotechnology

It is not compulsory for you to give an entrance exam for admission to the BTech Nanotechnology course. There are around 21 colleges in India that offer the course, out of which more than 10 colleges give admission on the basis of the Class 12 board exam marks. So, you should work hard and prepare well for the board exams to score excellent marks.

Having said that, it is better to prepare for the entrance test and keep both options open. Best of luck.

To get admission to your dream college for the BTech Nanotechnology course, you should start preparing for the entrance exam at least 8 to 10 months before the tentative exam date. It gives you enough scope to cover the maximum syllabus sections, practice previous year question papers, take mock tests, and plan a rigorous revision schedule in the last 1-2 months. 

The time may also differ on the basis of the exam you're planning to appear for. In the case of a national-level exam like JEE Main, you need extra practice and preparation owing to its competitiveness and difficulty.

Well, yes. If you belong to any of the reserved categories, including SC/ST/OBC/PwD, you usually get some sort of marks relaxation at the time of BTech Nanotechnology admission. The general relaxation is 5% at a majority of the colleges. For example, if the eligibility requirement is 50% marks for the general category, the reserved category students need 45% marks, with a similar approach in the entrance exam cutoffs.

Res, you must go to the college websites where you plan to pursue the course to have better clarity.

The BTech Nanotechnology admission process can easily take around 3 to 5 months to complete until you get the final seat at a popular college in India. This is because every college follows its own guidelines for admission that involve a lot of formalities, including entrance exams, college applications, results, cutoff lists, college counseling, seat allotment, document verification, and fee payment.

The BTech Nanotechnology course gives you both theoretical knowledge of the important nuances of the field and practical skills important to excel at the workplace in the future. It is not necessary to learn all of these skills in the classroom; rather, you should take up projects and internships to learn them.

Some important skills that you will learn during your academic journey are given here:

• Nanoscale Imaging and Nanofabrication
• Device Integration
• Computational Modeling
• Experimental Data Analysis
• Technical Proficiency
• Analytical and Critical Thinking Aptitude
• Project Management

The eligibility for admission to BTech in Nanotechnology course is having at least 50 to 60% marks in the PCM subjects in Class 12 board exams. Further, you also need to give relevant entrance tests for admission at top colleges. A few prominent entrance exams for B Tech Nanotechnology are JEE Main, GUJCET, TNEA Counselling, SRMJEEE, etc.

Yes, you may do M.Tech in Nanotechnology after B.Pharm (Bachelor of Pharmacy), but different universities have different eligibility criteria. Some universities take B.Pharm graduates for M.Tech in Nanotechnology, but some universities need a B.Tech/BE in disciplines such as Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, or Material Science. Admission is usually on the basis of GATE scores, university entrance examinations, or merit. It is best to verify the individual eligibility requirements of the universities providing M.Tech Nanotechnology, including IITs, NITs, Amity University, and VIT, prior to application.

The course fee for BTech Nanotechnology differs from one college to another. Apart from the tuition fee, the BTech Nanotechnology course fee may include additional amount like the accommodation fee for hostel (if you're living far away from home), semester exam fee, lab work fee, and other charges. The average BTech Nanotechnology course fees at popular Indian colleges is between INR 3 lakh and INR 12 lakh.
You should always confirm the total course fees before taking the final call, which you can do by reading the fees details given at the college websites.
