Why are there only 39 seats in the first batch of IT with specialisation in Business Informatics in IIIT Allahabad?

The first batch of B.Tech IT business informatics was recently introduced in 2019. The program has been designed by adding some special features along with core B. Tech curriculum which is usually offered at IIIT-A. With the aim of giving the best of all the resources, IIIT-A authorities decided to limit the number of seats for first batch students. Based upon the demand and other criteria, there is a high chance of modification of the seat matrix in the future. 

Some features which are compulsory for students pursuing B.Tech in business informatics at IIIT-A are mandatory French/German language course, compulsory credit based summer internships, Harvard business case study based approach in pedagogy which requires high-quality resources. So limiting the number of seats to give quality education and focusing on each of their students is IIIT-A's main goal now.

Round -1 Cutoff:

• You have to clear JEE Main with a ranking of around 3097 to get into B.Tech business informatics in the first round.
• Closing rank trends from the past few years have been around 4651 for the general category.

Detailed seat matrix:

First batch students are yet to face placements in 2022, the course seems very promising and opportunities are equal to that of the B.Tech IT branch.
