I’m currently in my final year of B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata and I want to pursue my Masters in Renewable Energy after my graduation. My academic GPA is moderate with no significant research experience, so I was unable to apply for MS in foreign universities. There are only a few institutes supporting this course in India at the moment, of which the notable ones are IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, UPES Dehra Dun and TERI University, Delhi. I gave GATE 2016 with moderate preparation and it didn’t go well for me, so I’m confident of not getting any calls from the two IITs mentioned above this year. I gave the entrance test for UPES Dehra Dun, in which I got selected and I’m yet to give the entrance test for TERI University. I want to know whether I should try for GATE 2017 again and try to get into the IITs or should I settle for one of the other two private universities mentioned (their exorbitant fees is a concern for me)? Will it be worth taking up the Renewable Energy M.Tech programs from these private universities? I would be very obliged if you can show me some light in this regard and help me out in choosing the appropriate option. Thank you.
