Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research, College of Engineering Chennai B.Tech Civil Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. BIHER accepts both BEEE (Bharath Engineering Entrance Examination) and JEE Main scores for B.Tech admissions. BEEE is the university's own entrance exam conducted online, but students with a valid JEE Main score can also apply directly without appearing for BEEE. Additionally, Tamil Nadu students can seek admission through TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) counselling, which is purely merit-based on Class 12 PCM marks and does not require any entrance exam. So students have multiple pathways to secure admission.
