Entrance Exams & Admissions : The course in which I am enrolled in is B.Tech (Computer Engineering). Those students who have qualified JEE Mains are eligible for admission in the college. After the result declaration of JEE Advanced, the college start releasing the cut-offs. Generally, they conduct 6-7 rounds and after that, there is a spot round. Also if after spot round if there are any seats available they conduct a special spot round which is done in August. First cut-off list for Computer Science Engineering is generally between the range 180-200 marks (obtained in JEE Mains).The last cut-off ranges between 120-140 marks. After the last cut-off, spot round is held in which the cut-off is decided according to the seats left in that branch. For spot round, the student needs to apply for that through the college website. Students need to check the college website for the date of the spot round.
Entrance Exams & Admissions : You have to take JEE MAIN. By the JEE MAIN score or rank, you will be able to take admission into IIIT. I too took JEE MAIN. Last year(2017) , the cutoff for computer science and engineering was 140.
