What is the process of branch change at SVNIT?
You’ll be given a chance to switch to another branch after your first year. The process is known as branch sliding, and it will be based on your first year CGPA and the vacancy in your preferred branch.
For Mechanical, try to obtain a 9.2+ CGPA in your first year. For CSE, at least 9.6 is required because there's always a huge competition for this branch. For Electrical, 8.5 is enough. For Chemical, ECE and Civil, an 8 CGPA is enough.

How is the food and accommodation at NIT Rourkela?
NIT Rourkela has ten hostels in total, of which two are for girls. They are CV Raman Hall of Residence (CVR) and Kiran Majumdar Shaw Hall of Residence (KMS). Let us look into both in detail
Food – CV Raman Hall is huge when compared with KMS. They can accommodate around 700-800 girls. The increase in students will largely affect the quality of the food. If you are from North India, it would be difficult to adapt to the food available here. But they make a variety of dishes every day, which helps you cope with the taste of the food.
Kiran Majumdar Shaw Hall of Residence (KMS) can accommodate only a small number of students. They provide more delicious food than CV Raman Hall.
Accommodation – In CVR, you have to share a room with one of your batchmates, and the rooms are very small.
KMS provides larger rooms than CVR. So it is better for you to opt for KMS for good food and accommodations.
How difficult is it to change branches in NIT Patna from mechanical to CSE?
It certainly is difficult to change branches in NIT Patna from Mechanical to CSE. The change of branch allotted by JoSSA in NIT Patna is done after two semesters. As per the policies,
- Students of B.Tech. or Integrated M.Sc. can change their branch to any other branch of their choice.
- Students of B.Arch. are not allowed to change their branches because their admission was done on the basis of Paper - II of JEE (Mains), not Paper - I.
- The total strength of a particular branch cannot exceed 110% of the original strength
- The total strength of a particular branch cannot be dropped beyond 90%.
Basically, there can only be an increase of 10% in the strength of a particular branch.
To be eligible for branch change students have to complete the following criteria
- The students must have completed all credits of the first two semesters in their first attempt.
- The student must have scored a CGPA not less than 8.25 in the first year.
The criteria appear to be quite simple but the reality is changing the branch to CSE is a bit tricky and challenging. The seats usually vanish up to 9 CGPA for CSE, because the competition is tough for this particular branch.
So, opt for branch change only if you are genuinely interested in the branch you want to get into.

Can the MBA specialization be changed at SPJIMR after the first year?
Yes, it is possible to change your MBA specialization at SPJIMR after the first year, but it is not a common occurrence. However, if you are looking to switch from Marketing to Finance, it is highly improbable but still possible to convince the management.
It's important to keep in mind that Finance is a specialization that requires a basic background in financial knowledge, which is not always the case for Marketing. This means that changing from Marketing to Finance may be harder for the management to accept than the other way around. It's also important to note that some students have been rejected when requesting to change their specialization.
If you have a financial background, it's possible that you initially tried to get into the finance specialization at SPJIMR but were accepted for your second preference of Marketing. If this is the case, it may be difficult to convince the management to switch your specialization in the second year. However, if you excel in finance subjects in the first year, it may be possible to convince them otherwise.
