IERT Course Admission 2025: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Admissions for the B.Tech in Electrical Engineering at the Institute of Engineering and Rural Technology (IERT) are primarily through the JEE Main exam, with eligibility requiring a pass in Class 12. Candidates participate in the AKTU counselling process, usually starting in July, although it may extend into October. The college generally admits students with JEE Main ranks between 1 lakh to 8 lakh, with cutoffs varying by branch. For general category candidates, a JEE Main percentile of around 60 to 70 is typically sufficient.

Direct admissions are possible, mainly in less sought-after branches, and a separate exam by the college is an alternative path for admission, although details are sparse. Candidates are advised to monitor the AKTU website for the counseling registration process, which involves several rounds and physical document verification upon seat allotment. IERT offers a government-based, financially accessible education, which includes scholarships for eligible students. This college's historical significance and relatively low fee structure compared to private institutions are appealing factors for many students.

The practical academic schedule allows students to prepare independently for exams like GATE, though better adherence to admission timelines is a noted area for improvement.
