With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like to tell you that Yes, it is obviously possible for you to give your JEE examination and to drop out your present first year college and get an NIT or an IIT to study Btech in Computer Science and Engineering.

The eligibility criteria for giving jee mains examination are :
