Some common entrance tests for admission into B Tech degree course include JEE Main, JEE Advanced, VITEEE, and SRMJEEE. Despite the fact that each of these tests follows their peculiar exam pattern, some sections that find mention in all of them include Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
Here are some colleges that accept the scores of particular common entrance tests:
Several National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) across India accept the scores of JEE Main. Some prominent ones include NIT Trichy, NITK, NITW, NSIT, IIITs, NIT Rourkela, BIT Mesra, TU Patiala, MNNIT and so on.
JEE Advanced, conducted by seven zonal IITs, is the next challenge for students who succeed in finding their mention among top 1.5 lakh rank holders with JEE Main. All IITs and the Indian School of Mines (ISM) accept this particular test’s scores.

SRM University has four campuses namely Ramapuram, NCR Ghaziabad, Ramapuram Vadapalani and Kattankulathur that accept SRMJEEE scores of aspirants for admission to undergraduate engineering programmes.
After clearing any of the aforementioned exams, aspirants get calls for counselling sessions from different engineering colleges based on the cut-off limit decided by college authorities. During the counselling, college representatives interview aspirants about their preferred areas of specialisation and accordingly, allocate them their seats.
As engineering colleges and universities run different B Tech programs and follow the different curriculum, the duration, delivery type and fee structure vary accordingly.
