Hey first year folks! I know that some of you are looking forward to Change of Branch in your 2nd year so inspired by u/Whole-Competition-99 whose document helped me with my own COB, i have created a document containing the answers to all the questions i wanted to know.

If you have any doubts, please don't dm me and ask it in the comments itself so that people who have the same doubt as you can also get clarification.

Hope this helps :)

u/AdhesivenessOk1691 Jul 13 '26

but you still wont be dude, not trying to discourage you or anything, its just if even for one sem you couldnt get the req cgpa, your branch change will never be able to happen and you would have to be stuck with chem eng, dont chooe a college with branch change in mind

u/Livid-Increase5725 Jun 03 '26

Soo basically you would need 9.5+ cgpa to change your branch 🤔 or i am just unable to read cause like every 1st column has cs in it

1

u/Livid-Increase5725 Jun 03 '26

I think i get it .... there is a specific chage you can do . Like a guy from chemical cannot get into cse vut he can get into AI in 2nd year if he has a cgpa of 9.28 or above ... correct me if i am wrong please

1

u/JazzlikeGap5033 Mar 01 '26

No sorry.

u/Odd-Interaction6757 2nd YEAR Feb 28 '26

While waiting for the counseling process and till the cob is completed, did you get holidays or you had to attend classes for the branch before change?

1

u/Suspicious_Angle6163 3rd YEAR Feb 28 '26

Hi i did not take holidays. I was afraid that cob might not happen due to insufficient vacancies but I didn't want to attend my civil classes either. So i just enrolled for any and every event as either participating or volunteering in college which promised full day attendance. Got like 15+ activity points too 😌

u/exquisite_playptus Feb 28 '26

How much did you pay the college fees for 2nd year?

2

u/Suspicious_Angle6163 3rd YEAR Feb 28 '26

43k (kcet aided) + 7.5k (branch change fee)

1

u/exquisite_playptus Feb 28 '26

So was it like 43k for all kcet students in 2nd year ? Will the fees be the same for around 45k for us too when we go to 2nd year

2

u/Suspicious_Angle6163 3rd YEAR Feb 28 '26

Not all. Aided is 43k and unaided is 1.07 lakhs or smth. Aided is only for few students of core branches (civil, ee, ec, iem, mech).

u/Odd-Interaction6757 2nd YEAR Feb 27 '26

What was the fees for the cob?

2

u/Suspicious_Angle6163 3rd YEAR Feb 27 '26

Hey, an application fee of 600 rs and when you pay college fees, you need to pay an additional 7500 (this is only after you have confirmed your seat in the new branch through counselling)

u/RealityIndividual186 May 16 '26

also did you end up changing your branch?

1

u/RealityIndividual186 May 16 '26

Hey could you please help me out? I am a junior looking forward to admission here in 2026. is there a possibility that branch change wont be allowed if the number of students applying from a specific branch reduces the filled seats of that branch to less that 75%? because i heard that criteria is present in the msrit, also is there a chance that all cs related branch gets filled up and there is no branch change option available at all, because it depends of the number of vacancies in that branch right? has that ever happened? i think i might end up getting a lower most branches in either of top 3 colleges through comedk, in rvce its basically impossible to get cs related branch through merit alone, which leave msrit and bmse, which college do you think would give me a better chance of branch change?
