ELIGIBILITY Bachelor's degree in Engineering/ Technology or Master's degree in science, arts, commerce, etc. Reservation Benefits are here like tuition fees waived for ST/SC/PED. Criteria of Admission change every year, No uniform weightage for 10th, 12th, and graduation marks, graduation marks have very high weightage and PI is the game changer which is again a win or loses the game.
