Can commerce student apply for IIT Course?

Generally, no. IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) primarily admit students through rigorous entrance exams like the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination), which focus heavily on mathematics, physics, and chemistry. These exams are typically geared towards students who have completed a science background in their 10+2 (high school) education. A commerce background usually doesn't provide the necessary foundation for these entrance exams.

However, there might be *some* exceptions:

* Specific programs: Some specialized programs at IITs might have different admission criteria and could potentially accept students with a commerce background, but these would be rare. This is unlikely to be the case for undergraduate engineering programs.

* Postgraduate programs: IITs offer a variety of postgraduate programs (Master's and PhD) in areas like management, economics, or other fields related to commerce. Admission to these programs usually requires a bachelor's degree, and a commerce background would be suitable. But, these are not the core engineering programs IITs are known for.

In short, if you're looking to pursue core engineering programs at an IIT, a commerce background will likely prevent you from applying directly. If you're interested in postgraduate studies related to management or other non-engineering fields, then it is possible. You should check the specific admission requirements for each program you are interested in on the respective IIT's website.
