IET Lucknow: Cutoff, Admission 2024, Placement, Fees, Courses

It should be remembered that there is no substitute for hard work. Gaining admission into state engineering colleges through UPSEE entrance exams has its advantages which makes it easier to perform well in them.

• Most of the questions in the UPSEE entrance exams would be easier to solve for you because they are of the level of classes 11 and 12.
• They are not tricky and very easy to answer.
• There is no negative marking. Even if you are not sure if you answered the question correctly, you will not end up losing marks.
• The question papers may be lengthy, though.
• You can prepare yourself for the exams by arranging MCQs of the previous years and practicing them within a certain time limit.
• As far as the admission to IET Lucknow goes, you can get it at a rank of lower than 1000 after the subsequent sessions of counseling.

The UPSEE entrance exams contain 150 questions and there is a time limit of 3 hours. You must be in touch with your calculations and concept implementation and are accurate in both. A score of 440 or more will give you good chance of getting admitted.

The answer for this question depends on what your preferences are and what your goals are for the future.

• If your goal is to get into PSUs, you will have to work hard in ME and if you want to work in the private sector then it would be a good idea if you prepare for something else.
• You can also opt for pursuing higher studies after completion of your program with the branch you have chosen for yourself.
• Computer Science (CS) is the branch that is the most popular among the students.
• The placements and packages offered to the students of CS are higher than those of the students of the other branches.
• Sometimes even the people who have graduated in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering work hard to get selected in IT companies.
• For getting recruited by an IT company, you need to have some knowledge about data structures, algorithms, and have a basic understanding of the language of programming.

However, the branches of Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering can often lead to recruitment in PSUs with packages going up to INR 30-40 LPA.

I have friends from both IET Lucknow and KNIT Sultanpur and according to them, you will not get any of IET Lucknow or KNIT Sultanpur with this rank. Your OBC rank will not be of any help as selections in the spot round are done based on the general rank and there is no reservation. Also, at IET/KNIT, seats for core branches like CS/EC/ME, fill up first. 

If you are a fresher then I will suggest you take a year drop and appear for various entrance exams next year and, if you are not a fresher then, you can go to other colleges. You will not get the atmosphere like IET Lucknow anywhere else, and hence, taking a year drop will be the best in any case. The environment is very competitive at IET Lucknow. Even KNIT Sultanpur lags in this case. The location of IET Lucknow is perfect for coaching for exams like CAT, GATE, IES, IAS, etc.

Visit the official websites, to get the detailed information regarding the cutoff required at these institutes. 

The following documents are required for admissions at IET Lucknow.

• Admission Letter of the State Entrance Examination

• Receipt of Counselling fee paid

• Anti-Ragging affidavit
• Medical certificate (if required)
• Aadhar card of student
• Migration certificate (for other than UP state board students)

You should check the official website of the college and take the necessary documents. Self-attested photocopies of all these documents are required at the time of admission.

Be more specific about your rank as it would help define the scenario better. But, in any case, you should know the various advantages of IET Lucknow over Galgotias. Some of them are as follows:

1. The peer group at IET Lucknow is extremely better and they choose to be focused on every cause whatsoever.
2. It is a government-run institute, which gives it an upper hand.
3. There is the provision of a scholarship for complete waiver on the tuition fees for several backward students in the class. You might also secure your B.Tech degree completely free. Besides, it comes with amazing ROI.
4. The faculty in every department is better than most other institutes around. Both permanent and visiting, in Mechanical engineering, Civil Engineering, and the CSE department are one of a kind.
5. You will also have access to several coaching centers within a 2 KM radius, which is highly beneficial. Thus, you can prepare with liberty for as many exams as you want to take, like CAT, GATE, UPSC, GRE, and others.
6. The placement drive has always been good. The visiting companies are Amazon, Adobe, TCS, Wipro, Sigma, LAVA international, Honda Cars, Analytics Quotient, Snapdeal, BSNL, Merchant Navy, Sterlite, Tata Chemicals, and more.

Other than the advantages, here are some of its demerits,

1. The infrastructure of IET Lucknow is somewhat poor, as is found in many other government institutes.
2. The administration can sometimes be extremely indifferent towards the requirements students usually have.
3. The quality of pedagogy is rapidly deteriorating in most classes.

You can enroll at IET Lucknow only if you wish to pursue Mechanical Engineering, CSE, or Civil Engineering. In contrast, if you want to ace other important competitive exams, then you can research more about other institutes as well.

Yes definitely. If you are still familiar with your 11th and 12th subjects, you should attempt JEE Main. If you can prepare well and hope to get a good rank, you will go a long way.

There are many of my friends who attempted JEE Main and got a good rank and are now in top NITs. This will positively impact your mental and emotional health and grow your career graph.

If you cannot get a better college than IET then do not get disheartened. IET Lucknow is not a bad college. Students from this institute have shown their caliber in GATE, CAT, GRE, and many other competitive exams. Placements here have been low due to a lack of willingness among companies to visit the campus.

However, keep in mind that there is no harm in trying and if you make informed choices then you can achieve success.

As one of my friends was a student at IET Lucknow, from her experience I can for sure tell you that it is really hard for you to get admission in most of the colleges with a gap of three years. In addition to that, to get shortlisted for admission at IET Lucknow, you will have to appear in the UPSEE exam and perform really well in it.

• Talking about the education loan part, if you can secure a seat at the institution, getting an education loan will not be an issue.
• You can easily avail of it since IET Lucknow is considered a reputed institution in the market.
• Also, you will get leverage in availing an education loan since it is a government college.
• You can approach various government banks and put forward your problem, keep Vijaya bank as your priority as it is inside the campus of IET Lucknow.
• You can also visit any of the private sector banks and explain to them that it is ranked at no.1 college under AKTU, as HBTI is a deemed university now.

I would recommend you to first learn about the procedure of availing a loan, the interest rates, how much to pay, the time after which you will have to start repaying the loan, etc. Having prior knowledge of all these will be better otherwise you might get fooled.

Additionally, keep a valid income certificate with yourself. You can apply for the scholarships provided by the UP government. Most of the IET Lucknow students avail of the scholarship under the state government.

IET Lucknow offers a chance to some students to change their branch based on their first-year academic performance. 

• The dean of academics gives a notice regarding the branch change after your first year. 
• You have to fill up the required form and thereafter a panel will evaluate your application based on various factors such as seat availability in your branch of choice, your academic performance in the previous year, etc. 
• Finally, after about a week they will tell you about the status of your request.
• Usually, a CGPA of 8.5 or above in your first year is enough to help you change your branch. 
• But it depends on the candidate pool and the branch itself. 

I think it is quite easy to score more than 8.5 CGPA at IET Lucknow but that also makes the competition tough.

My brother is an alumnus of IET Lucknow and here is his input about the branch change policy. It entirely depends on a variety of criteria, including your first-year grades, seat availability, and, most significantly, your terms with the administrative wing.

I'd like to emphasize what I'm trying to communicate.

• People say that first-year grades don't matter, or that first-year is just for fun. But if you want to change branches, you must maintain a CGPA of at least 9.0, implying that you are an above-average student in the class.
• The second and most significant factor is the availability of seats in your selected branch. If no seats are available, you will not be allowed to change branches, even if you have outstanding marks.
• The third issue is your relationship with the administrative wing. As it is the wing where you will acquire all the information about branch changes.

By the way, each college has its set of rules for branch changes, but the majority of colleges follow the methods outlined above when dealing with branch changes.

One of my cousins is part of the institute and has varied opinions. Primarily, it depends on the faculty of the institute. Other than that, here are things he says are essential to note,

1. The papers usually in ME can be slightly difficult to ace. However, if you are in your 1st year, you should completely avoid copying from your peers.
2. Try maintaining a good attendance score since it will help acquire at least 35 out of 50.
3. EC department can go on to creating trouble. Although, it depends completely on the faculty.
4. For other departments, you should choose to attempt every question instead of skipping them since it might help you achieve marks over 40, with the addition of your attendance.
5. You should always maintain a cool temperament with the faculty.

Other than that, always be vigilant. Hope this helps answer your query, wish you all the best!
