Does a branch change at IIT(BHU) require as much effort as we put in during JEE?

Many students opt for a less preferred branch on the pretext of changing their branch to CS. If you are one of them, the best way is to keep yourself aware of the coding culture and acquire skills. Only those who are genuinely interested in coding and have related skills should opt for a branch change to CS.

As for the branch change policy at IIT BHU, to make it into CS, you need to be among the top 7–8 people in the college. An immense level of dedication and effort is required as you will be facing tough competition with talented batchmates. You will have to give up on all the fun activities going around and focus only on your studies. 

What I feel is if you are adamant about CS, then you should focus on acquiring coding skills and opting for non-placements instead of changing your branch as a whole. But if you are hell-bent on changing the branch all you need to do is study before, in, and after class for 2 semesters.
