Why are there only 39 seats in the first batch of IT with specialisation in Business Informatics in IIIT Allahabad?

SG
Soumi Ghosh Posted On : March 11th, 2021
Former student at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2013-2018)

The first batch of B.Tech IT business informatics was recently introduced in 2019. The program has been designed by adding some special features along with core B. Tech curriculum which is usually offered at IIIT-A. With the aim of giving the best of all the resources, IIIT-A authorities decided to limit the number of seats for first batch students. Based upon the demand and other criteria, there is a high chance of modification of the seat matrix in the future. 

Some features which are compulsory for students pursuing B.Tech in business informatics at IIIT-A are mandatory French/German language course, compulsory credit based summer internships, Harvard business case study based approach in pedagogy which requires high-quality resources. So limiting the number of seats to give quality education and focusing on each of their students is IIIT-A's main goal now.

Round -1 Cutoff:

  • You have to clear JEE Main with a ranking of around 3097 to get into B.Tech business informatics in the first round.
  • Closing rank trends from the past few years have been around 4651 for the general category.

First batch students are yet to face placements in 2022, the course seems very promising and opportunities are equal to that of the B.Tech IT branch.

Nit Raipur IT branch cutoff for obc-ncl, home state.

VB
Vinima Bhola Posted On : June 26th, 2025

The OBC-NCL (Home State, HS) cutoff rank for NIT Raipur's B.Tech in Information Technology (IT) branch is not specifically stated in the most recent public sources.

Though the All India (AI) cutoff for OBC-NCL provides a clear benchmark and is generally comparable to or marginally superior for Home State.

You have a high chance of getting into IT at NIT Raipur if your OBC-NCL rank is less than 10,000, but before applying, always be sure to check the most recent official statistics.

What is the admission process at Bachelor of Engineering [BE] EPGI, Bangalore?

SP
Sourav Patra Posted On : May 27th, 2024

I gave COMED-K exam as I am from West Bengal and and that's the exam you need to crack to get entries to the college, if you don't want to enter through management quota. After the exam there will be 2 rounds of campasing where you can choose any college that comes within your rank range. If you choose any college by mistake or want to change the college you can even do so in the second campasing. I did that personally.
