Have a question related to SSC JE ?

Hello,

The eligibility to apply for a course or scholarship typically depends on the program or institution. For undergraduate programs like B.Tech, eligibility usually requires passing Class 12 with a minimum percentage in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology. For scholarships, eligibility may include income criteria, academic performance, and category-specific requirements. Always check the specific course or scholarship details on the institution's official website for accurate information.

Hello Aspirant

No, this will not be a problem with either your mother or your document verification. It is not a rule in India to have the same surname as your mother or father, you can choose to drop your surname and it will never be a problem. It is also not a compulsion for a wife to take their husband's name. So, you can rest assured that this will not pose a problem in your document verification in SSC JE.

Hope this helps

It is very east to move from SSC to CBSE in class 7th you just need to contact the school in which you want to take admission there may be entrance test you need to pass but some school give admission directly and it is also the best time to shift because mostly State Board does not lay emphasis on English communication which will create problems later moreover,The State Syllabus generally more easier when compared to CBSE. There is the reason because questions are almost never out of the textbook and almost every question is comes in exam which is mostly taught in class with revision.

Hi,

With your BTech degree percentage of 84 and a GATE score of 301, along with your SC category, you have a chance to secure admission in MTech programs at some IITs, but it may not be assured in the top-ranking ones due to intense competition.

However, admissions also depend on various factors such as the number of seats available, the specific department and program you're applying to, and the preferences of the particular IIT you're interested in. Some IITs may consider your application favorably based on your category and GATE score.

Considering your GATE score of 301 and SC category, here are a few IITs and MTech courses where you might have a chance of admission:

  1. IIT Delhi:

    • MTech in Electrical Engineering
    • MTech in Mechanical Engineering
    • MTech in Civil Engineering

  2. IIT Bombay:

    • MTech in Computer Science and Engineering
    • MTech in Electrical Engineering

  3. IIT Madras:

    • MTech in Aerospace Engineering
    • MTech in Chemical Engineering
    • MTech in Biotechnology

  4. IIT Kanpur:

    • MTech in Aerospace Engineering
    • MTech in Materials Science and Engineering

It's advisable to check the respective IITs' official websites for detailed information on MTech admissions, including eligibility criteria, seat matrix, and admission procedure.
