Panjab University offers a four-year B.Tech/ B.E course across eight specializations. Admission to its courses is based on the candidate’s performance in JEE Main exam or PU MET/ PULEET entrance exam. The University has been ranked at the 59th position in engineering colleges. The students getting a high rank in the entrance test get Admission to 2nd year of B.E./B.Tech courses of:

  • Dr. SSB University Institute of Chemical Engineering & Technology, Panjab University, Chandigarh
  • University Institute of Engineering & Technology, Panjab University, Chandigarh
  • University Institute of Engineering & Technology, Panjab University Swami Sarvanand Giri, Bajwara, Hoshiarpur.

Panjab university B.Tech Eligibility

Candidates aspiring to take admission into the college must appear for either JEE Main for getting admission in the first year of B.Tech or PULEET examination for lateral entry (2nd Year) into B.Tech.

  • Candidates aspiring to take admission in the first year of B.Tech should have completed their 10+2 with an aggregate of 60% in the science stream from a recognized board.
  • For lateral entry, the students should have completed three years of diploma course after 10th/12th, or the students should have completed their first year of engineering with an aggregate of 60% from a recognized board.

Also, the students should have appeared in the joint engineering exam(JEE).

Panjab university B.Tech Admission Guidelines

The aspiring candidates should go through the eligibility criteria for admission to engineering courses. The students can also get direct admission to the second year of engineering through the entrance exams (PUMEETand PULEET). PUMEET stands for Punjab University Migration Engineering Entrance Test allows students to get direct admission to the second year of engineering at Punjab University. It also allows them to change the specialization. Another entrance test PULEET stands for Punjab university lateral engineering entrance test allows students to get direct admission into the second year of engineering. The students can sit for this test if the aspiring students have done 10th/12th plus three years of an engineering diploma.
