M.Tech admission in IITs: Tips and Advises
2009 May 4
One of my friend got 99 + percentile in GATE and an all India rank between 280~290. He was all jumping and very happy and came to me that now he can go to any IIT for M.Tech. He is from computer science, and I did PhD from computer science and worked closely on M.Tech admission process with admission committee for more than two years. Visited and appeared for tests all over IITs, IISc and ISI Kolkatta. I found it difficult for me to find some information desired for getting into IITs. I visited al most all the campuses over time and learned these.
So here I go with few quick advises.
- Marley a good Gate score does not guarantee your admission to M.Tech at IITs, especially to Computers, Electronics and Electrical Engineering.
- Apply all IITs and IISc don’t loose it because of over confidence.
- Wait for call for a written test and interview.
- Prepare well for exam as it is not like gate (multiple choice) most of the IITs give some descriptive and analytical questions too.
- Interview play the most important role, as they see you problem solving. Whenever get a chance tell them the subject you are very strong in.
- Importantly plan you schedule, as soon as you get a call book train tickets. You can cancel them latter on if you don’t go there.
- Two IITs may call you around the same time or very close to each other so be mentally prepared for this and make a priority.
- There are few other courses where you easily get seats in IITs. You can play a safe too if want.
- If you are unlucky and average in all aspects of admission and could not make it, you can look for some good alternatives.
- Enjoy your travel all over India
Check out every tip in detail and don’t hesitate to post your doubts and questions for this all admission process. Let’s make it useful for coming generations.

I am pursuing btech from a private institute in bengal.How important is to keep high semester reults to get admission into top ranked government colleges for mtech?
Avishek: Basically for M.Tech your B.Tech percentage should not be counted. Most of the IITs give calls based on GATE score other who conduct written test and interview only consider for B.Tech percentile and they invite more candidates. Therefore it is always good to have high percentage but not mandatory for admission to Top Schools in India.
But when it comes to placements most of the companies will definitly look into your graduation records and if it falls less than 60% or 6.0 CGPA you will have tough time find a job in campus placements even in IITs. But you can always get on in off campus. Therefore i suggest you to get as much percentage as you can. All the best.
hi,
im doing engg .
Is it requried to score 60% in all sems in engg
Vijay: No it is really not required. If you have a good GATE, I strongly believe that enough. I know many students who have less than or around 60% in Engineering and doing M.Tech in IITs.
