 Admission to undergraduate (UG) programs at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) primarily revolves around the B.Tech and BS degrees. Here's a complete breakdown of all entry routes into IIT UG programs:


🧑‍🎓 Main Entry Route: JEE Pathway

1. JEE Main → JEE Advanced → JoSAA Counselling

This is the standard and most competitive route to enter IITs for B.Tech programs.

  • Step 1: JEE Main

    • Conducted by NTA
    • Qualify to appear for JEE Advanced
  • Step 2: JEE Advanced

    • Conducted by IITs
    • Rank determines eligibility for IITs
  • Step 3: JoSAA Counselling

    • Centralized seat allocation for all IITs

Eligibility:

  • Must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
  • Minimum 75% marks or top 20 percentile (65% for SC/ST/PwD)

🧑‍🏫 Special Entry Routes

2. Preparatory Course

  • For SC/ST/PwD candidates who narrowly miss the JEE Advanced cutoff
  • One-year residential program
  • Successful completion leads to direct B.Tech admission

3. IIT Madras Online BS Program

  • BS in Data Science and Applications
  • No JEE required
  • Open to anyone who has passed Class 12
  • Admission via Qualifier Exam and course performance

More details on this program are available on IIT Madras's official site.


🌍 International & Alternative Routes

4. DASA/CIWG Scheme

  • For foreign nationals and children of Indian workers abroad
  • Not applicable to IITs for B.Tech (only NITs, IIITs, etc.)
  • IITs do not accept DASA for UG admission

5. Olympiad-Based Entry (KVPY, INMO, etc.)

  • These may offer research internships or early exposure
  • Do not grant direct UG admission to IITs

🚫 Not Available

  • Lateral Entry: IITs do not offer lateral entry into B.Tech programs
  • Diploma to Degree: No direct admission from diploma courses to IIT UG
