What is the process of branch change at SVNIT?

Branch change at SVNIT starts before the end-term examination of the second semester. There is a form that needs to be filled before the start of the end term of your 2nd term. You need to fill in details such as your name, current CGPA, admission number, current branch, the choice, and the priority of the branches you want to switch. The results of the branch change will be declared after the results of the 2nd term are announced. Here are the factors on which your chance of getting your preferred branch depends.

• Number of students who have selected the branch to change
• Number of seats left in the branch
• Number of students who want to leave your branch
• Your CGPA at the end of 2nd semester

The most important factor is your CGPA and the popularity of the branch i.e. how many students have opted for that particular branch. For example, if 10 students want to join the CSE branch but it has only 4 seats left, then you need to be in the top 4 students to get the branch.

As per the trends, branches such as ECE, Mechanical Engineering, and CSE are always more in demand and they require a CGPA of more than 9. Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Chemical Engineering are relatively easy and people usually get any one of the three should they apply.
