IIT Patna Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

At IIT Patna, transferring directly from a B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science) program to a B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) program is not permitted. The institute's branch change policy allows students to switch between B.Tech programs after the second semester, subject to specific academic criteria and seat availability.

Since B.Sc. and B.Tech are distinct programs with different curricula and admission processes, a direct transfer between them isn't feasible. If you're interested in pursuing a B.Tech degree, you would need to apply afresh through the standard admission process, which involves qualifying in the JEE Main and JEE Advanced exams, followed by JoSAA counseling.

Hello Rohit,

No, you cannot get a B.Tech (CSE) degree from IIT Patna without qualifying JEE Advanced. Admission to B.Tech courses is only through JEE Advanced after clearing JEE Main.

However, IIT Patna offers alternate programs like:

1. B.Sc. (Hons) in Computer Science & Data Analytics

   • Mode: Hybrid

   • Admission: Through JEE Main, CUET, SAT, or IITP-SAT (IIT Patna’s own test)

   • Duration: 4 years
     
     

2. BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration)

   • Mode: Hybrid

   • Admission: National/state-level exams or IITP-SAT

   • Duration: 3 years

These are good options if you want to study at IIT Patna without JEE Advanced.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
