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.5,000/- 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 percentiles.
Luck may favor 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.
Special attention for MCA
& MSc (CS) :
Regarding the eligibility,
please refer to information broucher of various institutes.
Note:
-
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 atleast one college in the
desired specialization.
-
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 decision appropriately.
Depending upon their interest.
-
The students may also contact their seniors/friends studying in various
colleges for
their suggestions and
latest information about the colleges.
WISH U ALL THE BEST
