Tell me about Btech.

🗣️🗣️ Indian this side🗣️🗣️ (This is so I can get more relatable answers)

I'm still in 12th and maybe I'm not supposed to be here. The only reason I'm pursuing Btech is because it is advantageous for my future? I guess..? I want a personal insight. Like-

What do you study in the first year?

Considering if someone is preparing for JEE, will that help a bit in understanding what you're studying there better? Because after all JEE has a vast syllabus which isn't in basic 12th and not everyone goes to IITs amd NITs meaning that it's not compulsory content. Does that mean, we're studying some of the Btech stuff beforehand? Will it make our first year easier?

How do examinations work in college?

Like- how often are assessments held? Do professors take tests or are there just formal exams? If so how many marks exactly?

What is the scoring based on?

You could call me as someone loving under a rock but do we still get scores or do we get gardes? And exactly how much does a student get to be at the top of the class and what is the average score?

(Shouldn't have made this long but if you were still patient enough to read through, thanks a lot)
