After the Exam, what next:
- After publication of GATE results, students
must apply to individual Institutes to get their application forms.
- Institutes advertise M.Tech admissions in
leading newspapers from 1st April till end July. However
some Institutes do not advertise and therefore students have to
get the forms themselves.
- In the application forms, you have to mention
your GATE score alongwith other details.
- The concerned Institute may conduct written
test and/or interview for the purpose of admission.
- General thumb rules: If your Gate score
in Computer Science is 96 percentile or more then you can try
for IITs, if between 85 - 96 percentile, then apply for top RECs,
JADAVPUR, SHIBPUR, ROORKEE, etc. If less than 85, you have to
look for appropriate institutes.
Scholarship:
During the pursuit of M.Tech, you are paid
a scholarship of Rs. 5000.00 per month by the Government of India.
This amount is enough for living expenses including purchase of
books, etc. The scholarship is paid for the entire 18 months M.Tech
period.
SPECIAL:
I encourage 3rd year students to
also appear GATE alongwith Final Year students since:
- GATE score is valid for 2 years.
- The syllabus as required by GATE is generally
over by 5th semester.
- Anyway, it will be a good try ! If it is
a bad score you can always try again.
