Hello,

I hope you are doing good,

I would not say that you should rely “entirely” on branch change in IIT. Think of it this way, you have just canceled one of the toughest tests in India, and at IIT you will meet guys of almost all ages and each looking for an opportunity to switch to a branch they could not afford at their first level. Therefore, it is undeniable that a former schoolboy who was absent will not be more than the average Joe there.

The branch change is the result of a continuous annual review of your scholarships, and you will likely be disciplined once or more during this time. Having said that, I would like to add that you should not be disappointed with these facts. Branch change is not as difficult as statistics make it. Ordinary study hours in college are enough to bring you branch change. But it wastes those hours of study that are hard to manage if you have too much to do here.

I hope this answer will help you.

THANK YOU!!!
