The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) offers the Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Electronics & Communication Engineering primarily through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) for aspiring candidates. The admission process relies heavily on JEE and OJEE rank cards, with a focus on achieving good ranks. Counseling through OJEE is mandatory, and applicants must participate in it to secure admissions. In 2024, NIST plans to introduce its entrance exam, NISTEE.
Eligibility criteria include passing 12th grade with at least 45% in PCM, though 75% is preferred, and obtaining a decent JEE or OJEE score. Application procedures are available both online and offline via the institute's official website and the Students Academic Management System (SAMS) site. The application fee is approximately INR 10,000. Reservation policies are in place, and scholarship options are available for students who meet certain conditions like a good JEE percentile.
Direct admissions, or management quota, are not recommended. The timelines for applications and entrance exams are regularly updated on the respective websites. NIST offers quality education with adequate placement opportunities, including top recruiters like Microsoft and Google, and provides good campus facilities, making it a popular choice in Odisha.
