What are the rules for branch change at IIT Mandi?

Question

Nilotpaul Bhattacharjee · Accepted Answer

Yes, IIT Mandi does allow branch changes. The number of students who can switch branches depends on how many seats are available in the desired branch. Generally, about 25% of students (around 10 out of 40) in a branch can change each year.

Here’s what you need to know:

Branch changes happen after your first year (2nd semester). If you're interested, you need to apply before the end of your 2nd semester, listing your preferences.
You shouldn't have any backlogs after the 2nd semester, and your CGPA will be a big factor in the decision.
Branch changes are done so that no branch's strength goes below 50% or above 125% of its approved capacity. However, if you're the top student in your branch with a CGPA above 8.0, you’ll likely get your requested change.
If you score a perfect 10.0 CGPA, you’ll get your preferred branch without worrying about batch sizes.
Branch changes are mainly based on merit (CGPA) and your preferences.

In rare cases, the senate might approve a branch change before the fourth semester if there’s a really good reason. Hope this helps you!

Its a Question about your future!
