Good to know
- J&K has no dedicated technical university. Engineering is split across KU, University of Jammu (GCET, MIET), and IUST, SMVDU and BGSBU, which run their own B.Tech
- IUST officially uses % = CGPA × 10; KU does not publish a formula
- Ladakh-domicile students are also eligible for JKCET colleges
