Is a branch upgradation possible from civil to CSE in MNNIT Allahabad? What are the requirements?

One of my friends switched from Civil to CSE at MNNIT Allahabad, a few years back. Here are some tips from his side-

1. A 9.0+ cpi is required to switch to CSE. 
2. CSE has very limited vacancies (4-5 seats at most).
3. Subjects like Chemistry, C Programming, etc. negatively affect the grades. Thus, very few students are able to score 9.0 cpi or above.
4. In one of the semesters, you’ll have to study Mechanics. This subject is the best to score a high spi. The other semester contains Chemistry, and the subject faculty does not give good scores.

Basically, make a good study plan. Talk to your seniors, and strategize accordingly to score a high cpi in your first year. The rest depends upon your luck. But if everything goes well, a branch switch from Civil to CSE is totally possible at MNNIT Allahabad.
