IET DAVV Admission Process

Admission requirements depend on the programme. JEE Main determines B.Tech selection, GATE is required for M.Tech, and separate design or university entrance routes apply to B.Des and M.Sc.

  1. For B.Tech, applicants must take JEE Main and have at least 75 percent combined marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Class 12. The minimum is 60 percent for SC and ST applicants.
  2. B.Tech seats are allotted through centralised counselling as well as DAVV's state-level and institutional-quota counselling rounds.
  3. M.Tech applicants need a valid GATE score in the relevant engineering or science discipline. DAVV prepares the shortlist according to the GATE score and chosen specialisation, without holding a separate written examination.
  4. B.Des (Product Design) selection considers national design tests such as NID DAT or CEED, followed by aptitude-based screening conducted by DAVV.
  5. Applicants to M.Sc Applied Mathematics must qualify through DAVV's entrance examination for postgraduate science courses.

Government of India reservation rules provide 15 percent of seats for SC candidates, 7.5 percent for ST candidates, 27 percent for OBC candidates from the non-creamy layer, and 10 percent for EWS candidates. During DAVV counselling, candidates domiciled in Madhya Pradesh receive preference for state-quota seats.

For the 2025 General Category, the branch-wise JEE Main closing ranks were 44,602 for CSE, 63,147 for IT, 1,01,954 for Mechanical Engineering, and 1,12,400 for Civil Engineering. Demand is highest for CSE and IT. The higher closing ranks in Mechanical and Civil provide options for applicants whose JEE Main ranks fall in the one-lakh range.

IET DAVV vs MANIT Bhopal vs SGSITS Indore

Applicants considering IET DAVV may also compare it with Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) Bhopal and Shri GS Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) Indore, a government college affiliated with RGPV.

MANIT Bhopal offers the NIT brand, a stronger national NIRF position, and an established NIT alumni network. Its fees follow the NIT structure, and admission to its most competitive branches requires stronger JEE Main ranks. IET DAVV provides a government central-university degree in Indore, close to the Pithampur industrial corridor and the city's expanding IT sector. SGSITS has lower state-structure fees and offers another option within Indore, though it does not appear in the NIRF top 200 and does not offer the same level of placement consistency associated with an NIT.
