M.Tech Admissions - 2009-
Guidelines/Suggestions
Suggested order of preferences:
Selection Criteria:
The selection is, generally, based on GATE percentile/rank. However, some IITs, NITs and other university colleges may conduct a written test / Interview for selection into M.Tech. In such a case, the GATE score is given 70% weightage and remaining 30% weightage is for the written test / Interview. The exact procedure will be known by referring to the information brochure issued by the colleges for admission into M.Tech. The selection criteria may vary from year to year and from college to college.
* In IISc Bangalore, IIT Madras, Kharagpur,Roorkee, the selection is purely based on GATE score.
However in other colleges apart from GATE score, a written test or interview is being conducted for selection into M.Tech.
In IIIT,
NOTE:
* If a student scores more than 98 percentile, there is a chance of getting into IITs.
* If the GATE percentile is from 94 to 98 , the students can try for those IITs where there is written test or interview for selection into M.Tech and also apply for NITs and MS program in IIT / IISc/
* Those who have got less than 94 percentile they can apply for NITs and other colleges or MS program in IIT / IISc
Non Stipend M.Tech:
Most of the IITs, NITs & other colleges have certain seats reserved in the Non-stipend category. Here, the UGC scholarship will not be given. All the expenses shall be borne by the students only. Those students who are economically sound and desperate to join IITs, can apply . Students, even with low GATE score can get good specializations.
MS Programme:
( > 70 % marks) have chances of getting admission.
Special attention for SC/ST students :
We strongly suggest you to apply for premier institutes like IIT’s irrespective of your percentiles. Luck may favour you.
Special attention for Girls:
Certain universities have girls reservation,eg. Andhra Pradesh. Hence even at lower percentiles compared to boys, girls have fair chances.
Special note for Second Class students:
If you see the rules & regulations of various premier Institutes, 1st class in Engineering is the pre-requisite. If you apply online, your application will be rejected. Hence we suggest you to apply manually with a request letter stating your present strengths substantiating with GATE Score and your desire to do M.Tech in the respective IIT. Request them to give you a chance so that you can prove yourself. Most of the professors would like to encourage the students who are seriously interested, inspite of the above –ve point, if the GATE score is good and the student has a burning desire to join the desired specialization in the desired IIT. They may consider your application with sympathy and may give you a chance after a personnel Interview. some of our old students with second class in their graduation got admission on similar grounds. Be bold and be positive. Definitely, you can reach your goal.
