BOARDS Channel of Admission 2025
About Admissions through BOARDS
This mode is for admissions to our dual degree programmes, for applicants who have obtained high scores in class 12 board exams of any central or state board. In appreciation of their distinction, applicants in this mode will be shortlisted and called directly for an interview. The decision on final offer of admission is solely based on the interview performance.
Graduates of dual degree programmes earn two degrees: B.Tech and MS. The Masters degree requires completion of a research thesis. The programme prepares students for research-oriented jobs and higher studies. The duration of the programme is 5-years. This mode of admission is open for the following dual degree programmes.
