Direct Admission to Board Toppers
- In the past, admission process of the Institute always ensured
guaranteed admission to all the students
who obtained first ranks in their respective board
examinations.
To be eligible for admission under the 'Direct admission to
Board toppers' scheme, the candidate should be the topper from
the science stream having taken Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
subjects in 12th. To identify the topper, the following
criteria will be adopted.
- Has taken Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics subjects in
12th and
- Has obtained the highest aggregate percentage of marks in
12th among all the students who have taken
Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics subjects in
2011 from the Board. For the purpose of calculating the
aggregate percentage, the aggregate marks should
include the marks of Physics, Chemistry, and
Mathematics subjects in addition to other subjects
which are required to pass the 12th examination from
the Board under consideration. Further, the Physics,
Chemistry, Mathematics subject marks should be
included in the aggregate, irrespective of whether
the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics subjects are
identified as main/optional/elective in his marksheet(s).
- Applicants under the scheme should attach documentary proof
in support of their claim, along with the 12th
mark sheet and a letter from the Board declaring
the candidate as the topper in the specified stream. The
Institute will also make efforts to get these data
from the different boards on its own. In all cases, the
Institute will be guided by the data provided by
the concerned Board. In cases where for a particular
board, the data available before the deadline is
insufficient or inconclusive, the admission committee may
decide not to make any offer under the scheme for
that specified Board. In all such cases, the decision of
the Vice chancellor will be final and binding on
the applicants
