scholarship

For B.Tech students at Amity University Kolkata, continuation of a scholarship after the 1st year is generally based on academic performance. Students are usually required to maintain a high CGPA (around 8.5–9.0 or above, depending on the scholarship category), pass all subjects without backlogs, and meet the university's scholarship renewal rules. The exact CGPA and conditions can vary, so you should confirm the current policy with the admissions or scholarship office before taking admission. 

As for whether it is worth joining for B.Tech:

Pros

Good campus infrastructure and modern laboratories.

Industry-oriented curriculum with coding, projects, and internships.

Decent placement opportunities for students who maintain good academic records and develop strong technical skills.

Opportunities for extracurricular activities and overall personality development. 

Cons

The fees are relatively high compared to many government colleges.

Placements vary significantly by branch and individual performance.

If you can get admission to a reputed government college or a better-ranked private institute at a similar cost, that may offer better value.

Now this is a tricky part. You have to treat the gap year as a phase of conscious growth, upskilling, or problem-solving - rather than an empty period of waiting.

Here's how you can respond to this question - 
"I chose to take a gap year intentionally to focus on transition and upskilling. During this time, alongside navigating a personal family situation, I completed three advanced certified micro-credentials in Python and volunteered weekly at a local NGO managing their digital database. Far from being a pause, this year gave me the time to validate my career goals and ensure I was completely prepared for the rigorous academic framework of this international master's degree."
