Have a question related to NIT Patna ?

Hello,

Hello Mihir, diploma student wishing to gain admission in the NIT Patna and any other NIT or such institute shall go about doing it with application based on the Lateral entry scheme available to all who hold a diploma degree in Engineering. Most applications to NIT colleges comprise:

  • Eligibility : You must have completed your diploma with a minimum of 60% marks (55% for SC/ST) from a recognized institute. The diploma should be in a field relevant to the engineering course you wish to pursue.
  • JEE Main : You need to appear for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and qualify the exam. After qualifying, you can apply for the Lateral Entry exam of JEE Main, which is only for diploma holders.
  • Counseling: You will be called for JoSAA counseling based on your JEE Main score. In the counseling, you can choose your preferred NIT and branch according to your rank.

Before applying, check the eligibility requirements specific to each NIT on the official websites of the NITs.

In most cases, leaving a 5-year integrated M.Tech program after the B.Tech portion (usually after 4 years) to pursue an M.Tech elsewhere through GATE is not possible.

Integrated programs are designed as a complete package, with the B.Tech portion leading seamlessly into the M.Tech specialization. Exiting after the B.Tech portion might disrupt the curriculum and might not grant you a standalone B.Tech degree.

Universities often have regulations that don't allow students to exit integrated programs midway.


Carefully review the regulations or brochures related to the 5-year integrated M.Tech program at NIT Patna. Look for sections on program structure, exit options, or award of degrees. Reach out to the admissions office or program coordinator at NIT Patna. They can give you the most accurate information about leaving the program after the B.Tech portion.

I hope it helps!

Hello student,

if you scored 88.5 percentile but you belong from the general category, then it will be tough to get NIT Patna. However, if you belong to reserved category like the ST, then you have a chance to get through.

If you want only NIT Patna and you belong to other categories, then I suggest that you sit for the second attempt in the April session to imrpve your score and increase your chances.

If you want to check your rank range based on your percentile, then you can refer to the Careers360 JEE Main Rank Predictor: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-rank-predictor?
