UP B.Tech. Admission 2024 : Single Application form Launched for AKTU, HBTU, MMMUT

In Uttar Pradesh, applying for technical education used to be a complex process, requiring separate applications for admission to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) in Lucknow, HBTU in Kanpur, and Madan Mohan Malviya University of Technology (MMMUT) in Gorakhpur. But good news! The UP government has simplified the admission process, making it easier for aspiring students.

Now, candidates can submit a single application to be considered for admission in all three universities. This change not only simplifies the application process but also makes it more accessible and efficient for prospective students.

To oversee admissions, the government has established a Central Admission Committee led by HBTU Vice-Chancellor Professor Samsher. This committee, under the guidance of Professor Samsher, will handle counseling for the admission session, emphasizing HBTU’s crucial role in facilitating the process. The move ensures a centralized and cohesive approach to admissions.

Previously, students had to submit separate applications for each university, each with its own counseling process. However, this year brings a significant change as admission to university seats and affiliated technical institutions will be streamlined through a unified counseling process. The aim is to simplify the application and admission processes, providing a smoother experience for candidates seeking admission.

Key decisions were made in the inaugural session of the Central Admission Committee, with prominent figures like Special Secretary, Technical Education Anna V Dinesh Kumar, HBTU Vice Chancellor Professor Samsher, and Professor Lalit Kumar actively participating. The meeting focused on standardizing eligibility criteria and ensuring fairness in the admission process.

Experts from AKTU, MMMUT, and PSIT played a crucial role in discussions. Currently, there are varying intermediate marks requirements for B.Tech admission among the three universities. AKTU requires 45%, MMMUT requires 60%, and HBTU requires 55%. Discussions within the Central Admission Committee will address possible adjustments in these norms, aligning them with government instructions.

Within a week, universities and institutions will provide comprehensive details of available seats. Notably, 85% of seats will be for admission to private colleges, with the remaining 15% reserved for the management quota. Master’s courses’ admission will be facilitated through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for postgraduate programs, ensuring a standardized approach to admission into these educational institutions.
