How many students are able to change their branch in IIT Roorkee?

Around 2-3 seats are available in every branch at IIT Roorkee for branch change. One seat is saved for the reserved category. Here are a few reasons why branch change is a tedious task in IIT Roorkee

• You are required to change your branch right after the first semester giving you less time to prepare for your exams. You will also have no chance to score better in the second semester.
• All the semester exams are purely theoretical which is a bit difficult for students to cope with 
• IIT Roorkee branch change requires a higher CGPA because of fewer seats available. For CS 10, for ECE and Electrical 9.7, and for others 9.4 at least. Such high CGPA results in tough competition among peers

The point is, change your branch only if extremely necessary because one, you will have to commute yourself to the fullest and second every branch has its own scope so it’s better to explore than make a hasty decision.
