  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. Be bold and be positive. Definitely, you can reach your goal. 
  
  
  
  
  Note:
  
  
  1.   Those who have got relatively low scores in the GATE are strongly advised to apply for more number of colleges (not less than 10) so that they can get admission in at least one college in the desired specialization.
  
  
  2.   The students shall be in-touch with the daily English newspapers ( The Hindu, The Indian Express, The Times of India etc.) and Employment News for the M.Tech notifications by various colleges.  
  
  
  All the above guidelines are only suggestive / advisory. The candidates are requested to go through the information brochure of each college and take their own decision appropriately, depending upon their interest.
