IET Lucknow: Fees, Admission 2025, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

One of my cousins is part of the institute and has varied opinions. Primarily, it depends on the faculty of the institute. Other than that, here are things he says are essential to note,

1. The papers usually in ME can be slightly difficult to ace. However, if you are in your 1st year, you should completely avoid copying from your peers.
2. Try maintaining a good attendance score since it will help acquire at least 35 out of 50.
3. EC department can go on to creating trouble. Although, it depends completely on the faculty.
4. For other departments, you should choose to attempt every question instead of skipping them since it might help you achieve marks over 40, with the addition of your attendance.
5. You should always maintain a cool temperament with the faculty.

Other than that, always be vigilant. Hope this helps answer your query, wish you all the best!

I have friends from both IET Lucknow and KNIT Sultanpur and according to them, you will not get any of IET Lucknow or KNIT Sultanpur with this rank. Your OBC rank will not be of any help as selections in the spot round are done based on the general rank and there is no reservation. Also, at IET/KNIT, seats for core branches like CS/EC/ME, fill up first. 

If you are a fresher then I will suggest you take a year drop and appear for various entrance exams next year and, if you are not a fresher then, you can go to other colleges. You will not get the atmosphere like IET Lucknow anywhere else, and hence, taking a year drop will be the best in any case. The environment is very competitive at IET Lucknow. Even KNIT Sultanpur lags in this case. The location of IET Lucknow is perfect for coaching for exams like CAT, GATE, IES, IAS, etc.

Visit the official websites, to get the detailed information regarding the cutoff required at these institutes. 

One of my cousins similarly wanted to secure a seat at IET Lucknow in the 2nd year itself. He mentions that for indeed taking admission in IET Lucknow in the 2nd year, you have to first complete your diploma, and following that, during the 3rd year, you are required to sit for the UPSEE LEET examination.

Depending on the basics of the score you attained in LEET, you can further go on to securing admission at IET Lucknow via lateral entry.

Here is a detailed outlook of the cut off followed by IET Lucknow both in the 2019 and 2020:

Other than that, you should also have a good CGPA, somewhat ranging from 9.0 to above, to obtain a seat otherwise.

There are certain changes made in recent times for the admission process. Let me share these facts which might answer your question.

• Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University announced that from the year 2021 no entrance examination would be held for B.Tech programs offered by institutes affiliated with it. It was also implied that the students who qualify for the JEE Main examination would be eligible for admission.
• UPSEE was conducted every year by the University to offer students admission to B.Tech, B.Arch, and M.Tech programs offered by many private and government institutes in Uttar Pradesh.
• IET Lucknow, JSS Noida, Galgotias College, and many others affiliated with AKTU would offer admission on the basis of JEE Main rank only from 2021 onwards.
• UPCET examination will be used for lateral entry to the B.Tech program for diploma holders and B.Sc. graduates; M.Sc., and M.Tech programs.

This has been the only news that has come so far regarding the admission process of AKTU affiliated colleges. For more details, you can visit the official website of IET, or AKTU to clear out any doubts that you may have.

Yes definitely. If you are still familiar with your 11th and 12th subjects, you should attempt JEE Main. If you can prepare well and hope to get a good rank, you will go a long way.

There are many of my friends who attempted JEE Main and got a good rank and are now in top NITs. This will positively impact your mental and emotional health and grow your career graph.

If you cannot get a better college than IET then do not get disheartened. IET Lucknow is not a bad college. Students from this institute have shown their caliber in GATE, CAT, GRE, and many other competitive exams. Placements here have been low due to a lack of willingness among companies to visit the campus.

However, keep in mind that there is no harm in trying and if you make informed choices then you can achieve success.

One of the most important steps to change your branch would be scoring the highest in your first-year end semester. 

• Before 2020, if you were able to obtain 77% or above then you would definitely have had a chance to change your branch to a better branch such as CS. 
• Usually, students switched their branches from EI and Chemical to Computer Science, Mechanical or Electrical.
• But now if your score is above 8.5 SGPA at the end of your first semester then you are highly likely to gain the opportunity of changing your branch. If a seat is empty for the category of your preferred branch. 
• If you are the kind of student who studies every day with dedication and does not procrastinate until the exam comes, then it would be easy for you to score above 8.5 in your first year. 

Although branch change after the first year hardly takes place you can always give it a try and take a step closer to your goal.

The following documents are required for admissions at IET Lucknow.

• Admission Letter of the State Entrance Examination
• Marksheet of Standard 12th and Certificate
• Marksheet of Standard 10th and Certificate
• Caste Certificate for Reserved category (if applicable)
• Income certificate (if applicable)
• Receipt of Counselling fee paid
• Character certificate
• Anti-Ragging affidavit
• Medical certificate (if required)
• Aadhar card of student
• Migration certificate (for other than UP state board students)
• Colored photographs

You should check the official website of the college and take the necessary documents. Self-attested photocopies of all these documents are required at the time of admission.

IET Lucknow offers a chance to some students to change their branch based on their first-year academic performance. 

• The dean of academics gives a notice regarding the branch change after your first year. 
• You have to fill up the required form and thereafter a panel will evaluate your application based on various factors such as seat availability in your branch of choice, your academic performance in the previous year, etc. 
• Finally, after about a week they will tell you about the status of your request.
• Usually, a CGPA of 8.5 or above in your first year is enough to help you change your branch. 
• But it depends on the candidate pool and the branch itself. 

I think it is quite easy to score more than 8.5 CGPA at IET Lucknow but that also makes the competition tough.

The answer for this question depends on what your preferences are and what your goals are for the future.

• If your goal is to get into PSUs, you will have to work hard in ME and if you want to work in the private sector then it would be a good idea if you prepare for something else.
• You can also opt for pursuing higher studies after completion of your program with the branch you have chosen for yourself.
• Computer Science (CS) is the branch that is the most popular among the students.
• The placements and packages offered to the students of CS are higher than those of the students of the other branches.
• Sometimes even the people who have graduated in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering work hard to get selected in IT companies.
• For getting recruited by an IT company, you need to have some knowledge about data structures, algorithms, and have a basic understanding of the language of programming.

However, the branches of Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering can often lead to recruitment in PSUs with packages going up to INR 30-40 LPA.

It should be remembered that there is no substitute for hard work. Gaining admission into state engineering colleges through UPSEE entrance exams has its advantages which makes it easier to perform well in them.

• Most of the questions in the UPSEE entrance exams would be easier to solve for you because they are of the level of classes 11 and 12.
• They are not tricky and very easy to answer.
• There is no negative marking. Even if you are not sure if you answered the question correctly, you will not end up losing marks.
• The question papers may be lengthy, though.
• You can prepare yourself for the exams by arranging MCQs of the previous years and practicing them within a certain time limit.
• As far as the admission to IET Lucknow goes, you can get it at a rank of lower than 1000 after the subsequent sessions of counseling.

The UPSEE entrance exams contain 150 questions and there is a time limit of 3 hours. You must be in touch with your calculations and concept implementation and are accurate in both. A score of 440 or more will give you good chance of getting admitted.
