What is more preferable between JCECE and JEE Main for admission into UCET Hazaribagh?

UCET Hazaribagh accepts both JCECE and JEE Main scores for B.Tech admissions. JCECE is a state-level exam for Jharkhand students, focusing on local quotas, and is easier for state residents. JEE Main is a national exam, tougher but widely recognized, and allows non-Jharkhand students to apply. Both exams test Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Choosing depends on your location and preparation. Jharkhand students prefer JCECE for simpler access, while JEE Main suits those aiming for national colleges.

What course specialisations in B.Tech can I get into at UCET Hazaribagh with a JEE Main rank of 250,000?

UCET Hazaribagh offers B.Tech in Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, Information Technology, and Mechanical Engineering. With a JEE Main rank of 250,000, you may qualify for admission, as UCET cutoffs are often less competitive than top institutes. Exact cutoffs vary yearly but are typically above 200,000 for general category. Mechanical Engineering or Information Technology may be more accessible than Computer Science, which has higher demand. Check the cutoffs data shared above for more information.

Real experience by BTech mechanical engineering

Previously, till 2018 the entrance exam was JCECEB but after that its JEE main. In the 12th your marks should be an aggregate of 45%. Except for the General category rest of the categories will get a scholarship of 38000 per year.

Placement companies

The eligibility requirements are- 60% above in the 12th examination and you must have appeared in the examination of JEE or JCECE. Those scores will decide your admission and further your branch. The admission occurs through the counseling process and obviously during admission, you have to pay an amount as admission fee. Yes, obviously reservation is there in terms of no. Of seats in different branches.
