Dear Friend,
All students Who have passed their +2 exams,or equivalent from a recognized board with a PCM combination from Science stream and are of 17-21 years of age are eligible to apply for the SCRA Exams.

So it isn't necessary for you to complete your BTECH as this will make u run out of time for applying for this exams.
You might cross the age limit by then.
Also,an IT student gets no extra benefits for appearing in the SCRA exams.

Therefore I recommend you to appear for this exams as soon as possible,before you cross the upper age Limit.

Good Luck.
