Admission Procedure For B.E Geoinformatics:

Aspirants have to go through a rigorous process of clearing national and state level examinations for getting admission into various institutes. Candidates have to pass the national level entrance examinations such as

• Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE)
  
• All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE)
  
• National Institute of Technology (NIT)
  

However, some institutes conduct their own separate entrance tests for the admission procedures. In some cases, colleges provide direct admission on merit-based as per 10+2 qualifying exam. For private institutes offering courses, there are some seats reserved for management quota for which the fee structure is generally very high. This usually happens in the case of direct admission.

Eligibility For B.E Geoinformatics:

• Aspiring students should have passed the 12th class exam with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or equivalent with a minimum of 55% marks.
  
• Some reputed colleges and universities conduct an entrance examination for admission in BTech Geo Informatics Engineering course .
