    Do you know, now you can get admission to IIT Madras, one of the premier institutes of India, under the cultural quota? From the academic session 2025-2026, it has started offering admission to undergraduate courses based on the FACE (Fine Arts and Culture Excellence) quota.

    This cultural quota is similar to other quotas, such as the sports quota, and SC-ST quota. Students who are applying for this quota do not need to appear for the JoSSA counselling process. This is a historic move, as no other institutes before have considered the arts and culture to provide admission. BTech or Bachelor of Technology is one of the most sought-after courses among the students who have completed their 10+2 in Science.

    The eligibility criteria for the BTech course is to clear the JEE Main examination. Candidates who wish to pursue a BTech degree in top institutions like IITs, then they need to clear the JEE Advanced as well. Candidates need to appear for the JoSSA Counselling once they clear their JEE Main entrance examination to get admission into engineering colleges in India.

    BTech with Cultural Quota: Eligibility Criteria

    Students with valid certificates in arts and culture are eligible for admission. Two seats are added for the cultural quota for each programme, one is for female students and one is gender neutral. Candidates need to receive at least a once-in-a-lifetime award from the Government of India for any art form.
