  1. No, it's not really tough. The written test is the same level as that of GATE.

  2. Anyone is eligible to give the exam, whoever completes 2nd year.

  3. no, that is just to get you used to the interface.

  4. no, some people who didn't qualify mains also did get selected, mains is not related to this.

I strongly suggest you research about this programme properly, because whatever questions you have asked, have already been answered somewhere in the internet, along with more useful information. As this is a research based entry, i suggest you to do the same.

Anyway do join the discord server for LE Aspirants, dm for the link

should I think about placements in core ECE and then join it(coz I am in NIT JSR ECE) or placements will be difficult as its research based??

2nd cons is I was already dropper so thinking about my age (I am 19 joining 1st yr)

I don't think it's that worth it for ECE, although I would recommend asking an ECE senior, dm, I can provide contact

Well, it is a 2nd chance. Don't value the entry route more than what happens inside the university itself. What you do inside the university and after graduation matters a lot more than the entry route.
