When you can apply for a branch change
Many engineering colleges allow a change of branch, usually once and after the first year, based on first-year performance and the seats available in the branch you want. Some need a minimum CGPA and no backlogs, and some do not allow branch change at all. The rules are set by your college and university, so read the notice first.
The application states your current branch, the branch you want, your first-year result, your reason and, if you like, a second choice. Keep the reason genuine and short: interest, aptitude or career plans.
Documents usually attached
- First-year marksheets or grade cards
- Copy of the admission or seat allotment letter
- Copy of college ID card

Frequently asked questions
Is branch change guaranteed if I have a high CGPA?
No. It usually depends on seats available, the rules and the merit list of all applicants.
Can I give a second choice?
Yes. Add it in the tool, and the detailed version will request it if your first choice is not available.
Should I mention placements as the reason?
Interest and aptitude usually read better. Mention courses or projects that show your interest.
Is this tool free?
Yes. You fill a short form once when you see your first result, and the other Uncodemy tools then open without the form. Your letter details stay in your browser and are not uploaded.
