B.I.2. Admission Quota & Seat Matrix

The approved intake for all academic programs is divided into delineated quotas.

Quota Category	Sub-Quota Allocation	Admission Channel / Applicable Exams
Category B	10% of Total Intake	Management: Exempt from entrance exam mandate; satisfying qualifying criteria.
Category A (General Merit Quota)	90% of Total Intake	Divided strictly into sub-quotas as detailed below:
└ Sub-Quota A1	25% of Total Intake	National Level Exams: JEE Main (B.Tech), CAT/MAT (MBA), NIMCET (MCA), GATE (M.Tech).
└ Sub-Quota A2	45% of Total Intake	University Exam: MITSUCET (Proctored CBT or PBT).
└ Sub-Quota A3	10% of Total Intake	State Level Exams: State CET (B.Tech), State ICET (MBA/MCA).
└ Sub-Quota A4	10% of Total Intake	Merit/Qualifying Exam: 10+2 equivalent (UG) or Bachelor's Degree (PG).

The Cascade Rule (Sliding Mechanism): To ensure maximum seat occupancy, vacant seats in any sub-quota automatically cascade to the next in the sequence:

A1 → A2 → A3 → A4

B.I.4. Tie-Breaker Rules (Applicable to All Streams)

In the event of identical normalized scores or ranks within any sub-quota, the following tie-breaking rules are applied strictly in descending order:

Subject-Specific Performance: Priority is given to candidates with higher normalized scores or percentages in core subjects relevant to their chosen field. For B.Tech admission: higher 10+2 scores in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology.
Candidate Age: If a tie persists after reviewing core subject performance, the older candidate by date of birth is given preference.
Application Chronology: As a final measure, the candidate with the lower registration number (i.e., chronologically earlier application registration number) will be ranked higher.

B.II. B.Tech Lateral Entry (Direct Second Year)

Applicable Programs: B.Tech (All Branches) · Entry Level: Second Year (3^rd Semester)

B.II.1. Intake Capacity

Lateral entry admissions are subject to seat availability and statutory body guidelines:

Note: B.Sc. stream students shall clear Engineering Graphics/Engineering Drawing and Engineering Mechanics of the First-Year Engineering Programme along with Second-Year subjects.

Statutory Relaxation: A statutory relaxation of 5% in the qualifying examination marks is applicable for reserved categories as per Government of India norms.

B.II.3. Quota Allocation

The approved intake for lateral entry is divided into three legally delineated quotas:

B.II.4. The Cascade Rule (Sliding Mechanism)

To ensure maximum seat occupancy, if seats remain vacant in the Entrance Exam Merit Quota after the final round of counselling, those vacant seats will automatically cascade to the Diploma Merit Quota.

B.II.5. Tie-Breaker Rule (Applicable to All Lateral Entry Streams)
