Hello,

Indeed, you can still gain entry to a B.Tech course in Computer Science focusing on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI & ML) even if you did not take the JEE Main exam.

Numerous private universities and state colleges in India either organize their own entrance tests or provide direct admission based on Class 12 board examination marks. Institutions such as SRM Institute of Science and Technology (through SRMJEEE), VIT (through VITEEE), Manipal University (through MET), and others provide these chances. Moreover, several universities allow applications through management quota or carry out interviews in their admission procedures.

Having a strong academic performance in Class 12, particularly in areas such as Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science, could increase your likelihood of obtaining a seat. Regularly visiting the official websites of these colleges is crucial for knowing application deadlines and specific eligibility requirements.

Hope this helps. All the best!
