However, a minimum of one student will be eligible for consideration for change of branch from each discipline at the end of the first semester

If a student with a higher GPA is not offered a particular branch because of other constraints, this should not be offered to any other students with a lower GPA even if he/she is eligible on the basis of the existing norms

Change over from 4-year B.Tech programme to 5-year dual degree programme is permitted within the same Department during the sixth semester, provided a student meets the following criteria:
