Common Query on Eligibility
A Reddit user shared:
"A PCB student with no CS background reached out but was told it's ‘impossible’ to get into AI & DS B.Tech."
Unfortunately, the official eligibility requires 10+2 with PCM and JEE Advanced qualification, so without mathematics and JEE Advanced, admission isn't feasible ).
