Why Birla Institute of Technology stands out
Birla Institute of Technology at Mesra, Ranchi, is a fully residential campus with eleven hostels for boys and three for girls, extensive laboratories, a central library and a long-running campus recruitment programme. It publishes a separate admission brochure every year just for NRI, OCI and foreign-national applicants, so international students apply through a route designed for them rather than through the domestic counselling process. Undergraduate admission for this category is based on Class XII marks, not on a domestic entrance test.
What you can study
The international brochure covers B.Tech. in branches including computer science, electronics and communication, mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical, biotechnology and artificial intelligence and machine learning, plus B.Pharmacy and hotel management at bachelor’s level. At postgraduate level it lists M.Tech., M.Pharm., MBA, MCA and M.Sc. programmes, and the institute also offers Ph.D. programmes in various disciplines.
International admissions
Applicants need at least 60 percent marks in Class X, XI and XII or an equivalent examination for undergraduate programmes, and a bachelor’s degree with at least 60 percent for most postgraduate programmes. The non-refundable application fee is USD 250. Full details, including the document list and the fee table, are in the official NRI, OCI and foreign-national admission brochure.
