Students who are preparing for BTech usually focus only on JEE Main, but experts suggest that it is a good idea to also apply for CUET UG. CUET has become another important route for getting admission into engineering courses, especially for students whose JEE Main scores may not be very high.

CUET is not limited to arts or science courses. Many universities now offer BTech programs through CUET scores. Because of this, engineering aspirants are advised to fill out the CUET form along with JEE Main to increase their chances of admission.

Through CUET, students can get admission to several engineering branches such as Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Information Technology.

A number of central, state, and private universities accept CUET scores for BTech admissions. Some well-known institutions include Banaras Hindu University (BHU), APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology, Central University of Karnataka, Pondicherry University, and Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University. Many private universities also consider CUET scores for engineering courses.
In some universities, CUET is also used for admission to integrated engineering programs, such as combined BTech–MTech courses.

Conclusion

If you are aiming for BTech and want more admission options, appearing for both JEE Main and CUET can be beneficial. CUET acts as a backup option and opens doors to many universities across India, making it a smart choice for engineering aspirants.
