Most essentially, you will find coaching classes for any higher-end exams in close vicinity to the main institute. Thus, you can join any personalized coaching class depending on your field.

There are certain changes made in recent times for the admission process. Let me share these facts which might answer your question.

• Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University announced that from the year 2021 no entrance examination would be held for B.Tech programs offered by institutes affiliated with it. It was also implied that the students who qualify for the JEE Main examination would be eligible for admission.
• UPSEE was conducted every year by the University to offer students admission to B.Tech, B.Arch, and M.Tech programs offered by many private and government institutes in Uttar Pradesh.
• IET Lucknow, JSS Noida, Galgotias College, and many others affiliated with AKTU would offer admission on the basis of JEE Main rank only from 2021 onwards.

This has been the only news that has come so far regarding the admission process of AKTU affiliated colleges. For more details, you can visit the official website of IET, or AKTU to clear out any doubts that you may have.

Yes definitely. If you are still familiar with your 11th and 12th subjects, you should attempt JEE Main. If you can prepare well and hope to get a good rank, you will go a long way.

There are many of my friends who attempted JEE Main and got a good rank and are now in top NITs. This will positively impact your mental and emotional health and grow your career graph.

If you cannot get a better college than IET then do not get disheartened. IET Lucknow is not a bad college. Students from this institute have shown their caliber in GATE, CAT, GRE, and many other competitive exams. Placements here have been low due to a lack of willingness among companies to visit the campus.

However, keep in mind that there is no harm in trying and if you make informed choices then you can achieve success.

IET Lucknow is a very popular and reputed college of our country and a lot of students across the country apply for admissions in this college. 

• If your OBC rank is 2500 on the UPSEE, then your general rank would be around 10,000 - 12,000. 
• With this rank it would be tough to get admission in IET Lucknow but you can apply through vacant seats. You must be aware of these seats, as they fill quickly. 
• If IET does not happen, you can also apply for MMM Gorakhpur 
• It is also a very reputed state university and it is also under the autonomous council. 
• You can also take admission in JSS, except CSE or IT branch. 
• Getting into any other government colleges can be very difficult with your rank.

If you have one more chance to appear for JEE Main, then go for it. If you are able to score a better rank even by spending one more year then it will be worth it. You will then be able to get into a good college.

IET Lucknow does not accept JEE Main score for their admission process. You must have a valid score in UPSEE to get a seat.

In case you have not applied for UPSEE then you can try for HBTU Kanpur or Madan Mohan Malviya University of Technology (MMMUT), Gorakhpur. These colleges are almost at the same level as IET Lucknow and JEE Main scores are accepted here for admission. 

MMMUT also conducts its own entrance exam i.e. MET exam and some seats are reserved for JEE Main candidates. 

Enough has been said about how enviable the rankings of IET Lucknow are. The atmosphere of IET Lucknow is just as good as the atmosphere of the IITs and the NITs.

• Students of IET Lucknow have gone through a phase called the ‘IIT Preparation Phase’.
• They prepared for IIT but sadly could not make it, so chose IET as a 2nd option.
• This makes them quite capable in their academics.
• While attending the fests held by the IITs and NITs the students of IET Lucknow engage in conversations with the students of the previously mentioned institutes.
• IET follows more or less the same pattern of syllabus followed by the IITs and the NITs.

The quality of education that is offered by IET Lucknow is better than other renowned institutes like HBTI. A lot of the students have ended up getting employed in government jobs such as railways, PSUs, power sector. They have qualified for their GATE exams with a good rank.

The best part about IET Lucknow is the freedom it offers to the students. The college does not intend to restrict students to only academics. There is no pressure for attendance. However, some faculties might give weightage to attendance. So, if you can balance the academics and extracurricular, you can negotiate with them. Never give a chance to your teachers to point down your mistakes. 

Consider the below-mentioned points for this.

• Decent grades and marks in the sessional tests can save you.
• The faculties consider assignments too. So, make sure to submit your quality assignment adhering to all the instructions before deadlines. There is no need for more pages.
• Be enthusiastic and noticeable in classes by raising questions or giving answers to the teachers. Also, respect your teachers.
• Try to attend the lectures by the permanent faculties as such lectures are rare. There are only a few such faculties in the college. But they have vast experience and knowledge.
• Some students fill the attendance by themselves as soon as the faculty leaves the register in the class. But it is risky, and there is a probability of getting caught.
• Lab lectures are easy to skip. You can mark your attendance and leave the lab.

Overall, the classes are skippable in IET Lucknow if you have a decent image in front of faculties. Currently, compulsory attendance of 60% as per the rules of the new director is required, but 50% attendance will let you sit in exams.

One of the most important steps to change your branch would be scoring the highest in your first-year end semester. 

• Before 2020, if you were able to obtain 77% or above then you would definitely have had a chance to change your branch to a better branch such as CS. 
• Usually, students switched their branches from EI and Chemical to Computer Science, Mechanical or Electrical.
• But now if your score is above 8.5 SGPA at the end of your first semester then you are highly likely to gain the opportunity of changing your branch. If a seat is empty for the category of your preferred branch. 
• If you are the kind of student who studies every day with dedication and does not procrastinate until the exam comes, then it would be easy for you to score above 8.5 in your first year. 

Although branch change after the first year hardly takes place you can always give it a try and take a step closer to your goal.
