B.Tech Automobile Engineering

Overview

B.Tech Automobile Engineering has been an emerging course for young candidates who are having a liking towards cars or motorcars, their specifications, mechanisms, internal and external of a car. The cars or motorcars that we see now or probably even drive those are definitely an art of the multi- talented automobile engineers. It could be the designing, monitoring casualties including all the technicalities of a car. Developing new ideas for a change in the old concepts, creative mind-sets interested in automobile can take this up.

B.Tech Automobile engineering deals with the development of new concepts to replace the older concepts, manufacturing process, and formulating new models by designing and refurbishing the existing models with new technologies of automated cars. With the evolving era, we see a lot of commutation in the technology as well for a better modernized world. As the world is rationalizing so is the technology reaching the heights of success with creative and talented mind set coming up with remarkable ideas to shape the automobile world into a contemporary field of technology and ease for the community.

Eligibility criteria

  1. The candidate must have completed their 10+2 from a recognized board or university.
  2. The candidate must have completed their 12th with physics, chemistry and mathematics as mandatory subjects.
  3. The candidate must have scored a minimum of 45% in PCM for General category.
  4. For those candidates who are from other categories such as SC/ST, PWD the minimum percentage to score is 40%.

Admission Process

The process of admissions for B.Tech Automobile Engineering is not very complicated. The admissions happen every year by conducting entrance exams and their 12th board results. Admissions happen either entrance exams or through direct admissions process.

The top entrance exams for B.Tech Automobile Engineering are as follows:

  1. KCET
  2. JEE MAINS
  3. JEE Advanced
  4. COMED K

These are conducted on national and state level. They require a certain cut off percentage for affordable seats in colleges. There are some top universities privately funded which conduct their own entrance exams as the colleges are on demand and there is soaring competition.They can either take up the university exam or go through national or state level entrance exam as both the scores can be viably considered. Some top university level exams are as follows:

  1. PESSAT (PESSAT PES Scholastic Aptitude Test)
  2. SRM JEE (SRM Joint Engineering Entrance Examination)
  3. Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT)
  4. MET (Manipal Entrance Test)

There are certain states like Tamil Nadu, UP, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Delhi who take admissions through a centralized counseling process for which the students need to attend a national level exam like JEE Mains and Advanced.
