Hello Vivek,

If you have not performed JEE or KEAM and still want to pursue B.Tech in Computer Science, don't worry there are still options:

1. Direct Admission in Private Colleges: Private engineering colleges and deemed universities in India allow students to take admission based on 12th marks. So, look out for universities with good reputation and placements.
2. Management Quota Seats: Some universities also reserve a few seats in management quota. You can go to the university directly, inquire about the slots reserved and fee structure.
3. State Level Counselling: You will also be able to apply in your stage level counselling process (like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, etc.) where JEE/KEAM admission is not mandatory and students need to submit their 12th marks.
4. Diploma to B.Tech (Lateral Entry): You have another option of completing a diploma in Computer Science and then join the B.Tech through lateral entry to second year through government entrance exams like LEET.
5. Online B.Tech/Distance Education (for working professional): Some universities like UGC approved online B.Tech, this option is mostly for the working professionals.

Hello Aspirant,
