What is the procedure to change branch after first year in IET Lucknow?

IET Lucknow offers a chance to some students to change their branch based on their first-year academic performance. 

• The dean of academics gives a notice regarding the branch change after your first year. 
• You have to fill up the required form and thereafter a panel will evaluate your application based on various factors such as seat availability in your branch of choice, your academic performance in the previous year, etc. 
• Finally, after about a week they will tell you about the status of your request.
• Usually, a CGPA of 8.5 or above in your first year is enough to help you change your branch. 
• But it depends on the candidate pool and the branch itself. 

I think it is quite easy to score more than 8.5 CGPA at IET Lucknow but that also makes the competition tough.
