It does not matter how much time you have before the exam. It is about planning your preparation, covering the topics, and revising them. You need to utilize the one month in your hand very efficiently.
As you are about to give the MET, it implies that you have just cleared your board exams. You do not need to do anything extra but just be thorough with whatever you have studied.
You just need to practice well for the numerical and keep your basics clear. Do not waste much time on anything new.
The cut-offs vary greatly every year according to the merit list so do not rely much on the previous years’ cut-offs. Just make every topic in your mind clear theoretically and put in some smart work such as managing time and building some strategies and you will do very well in the exam.

The overall branch change policy is the same in other IITs. However, there is a 10% rule which should be followed. No branch should have more than 110% and less than 90% of its actual batch strength.
The students who want to change the branch should score more than 8.5 CGPA without any backlog at the end of the second semester. If in case, there is a tie or equal CGPA, then the student having a better JEE ADVANCED rank will be given the priority. Students of 4 years B.Tech are eligible for consideration for a change of branch to any engineering courses including 4-year B.Tech and 5-year dual degree. However, the students in dual degree programs can change to dual degree programs only. Any change in the branch is final.
