Selection Criteria:

        For Computer Science, the selection is, generally based on GATE score. However, some IITs, NITs and other university colleges may conduct a written test / Interview for selection into M.Techs. 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 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.  If a student possess excellent rank in the GATE, then direct admission will also be given without any interview.

·         In IIIT,Hyderabad the admission is based on written test and interview.

·         For Central University, Hyderabad, selection is based on written test and interview.

NOTE: 

·         If GATE rank is within top 300, there is a chance of getting into IITs.

·         If the rank is more than 300, the students can try for those IITs where there is written test or interview for selection and also apply for NITs and other colleges depending on the merit level..

Stipend for M.Tech :

The stipend/Scholarship Rs.8,000/- is available for eligible candidates in the form of Teaching assistanceship or Research assistanceship etc. The teaching assistanceship may be preferred, if possible.

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:

Offered by most of the IITs and IISc. The MS course is equivalent to M.Tech. It involves research work and takes about 21/2 to 3yrs to complete the course. Very few seats are available in the IITs. Admissions are given  twice in a year (in June & Nov. months). Admission are based on GATE score + Degree marks + interview. Candidates with reasonably good GATE score and good academic record (> 70% marks) have chances of getting admission. UGC scholarship will be given throughout the program. Students who can’t get MTech admission in IITs, generally try for MS Course in IITs.

Special attention for SC/ST students:

We strongly suggest you to apply for premier institutes like IIT’s irrespective of your ranks. Luck may favor you.

Special attention for Girls:

Certain universities have girls reservation, eg. Andhra Pradesh. Hence even at lower ranks 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, in spite 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.

Special attention for MCA & MSc (CS):

Regarding the eligibility, please refer to information broucher of various institutes. 

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.
  1. 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.

  1. All the above guidelines are only suggestive/advisory, based on the selection criteria of previous years. The candidates are requested to go through the information brochure of each college and take their own decision appropriately, depending upon their interest.

  25. ashwani,
    It is hard to get IITs & NITs with AIR 7000.

    @hasan rafiq & @vanu
    It is a hard task to get top NITs. But you have some chances for new tier NITs. Do apply to atleast 10 NITs.
    However, University colleges & Good Private colleges are suitable for your rank.

    @dhrubajyoti,
    As you have ST reservation, you have fair chances for NITs. Do apply.

    @Shweta,
    University colleges & Good private colleges are apt for your rank. NITs are difficult to get. However do apply to new tier NITs, luck may favor you.

    @dhruv,
    As you have ST reservation, you have fair chances for NITs. Do apply.

    @prs,
    Your rank is not enough for IITs. Now IITs are using GATE score instead of Percentile. Percentiles are old criterion for GATE valuation. It is not relevant now. Not only for yours, also for all other candidates score report does not include Percentile.

  29. @HRISHI,
    Do apply for University colleges (viz. JNTU, Jadavpur, CUSAT, Hyderabad University, Osmania etc.) & good private colleges (viz. Amrita, BMSE, SJCE, PEC, TIET etc.) nearer to your native place.

    @Hindol,
    You have fair chances to get interview call from IISc. But, do apply to IIT-B & IIT-D also.
