hi shankar,

Mtech Admission Procedure:

Admissions will be effected for all the programs/ Engineering, according to merit list prepared on the basis of valid GATE score in the respective branches conducted by different states  and valid for the universities underwhich those colleges are goverened.

Merit list shall have weight age of 70% for GATE score and 30% weight age for written test/ Interview.

The seats remaining vacant if any after the completion of admissions of GATE qualified candidates (candidates with valid GATE Score), will be offered to Non-GATE Candidates (candidates without valid GATE Score), as per their merit based on the written test and interview.

Written Test / Interview: All the non-GATE candidates applying for M Tech programs will be required to appear for written test and interview.

Important Points Related to MTech Admission: (1) Non-GATE candidates who are admitted to M Tech program shall not be eligible for stipend/scholarship. (2) Candidates with valid GATE Score admitted under quota of stipendiary seats (3) GATE candidates desirous of seeking admission to M Tech program(s) 4) In all categories the GATE candidates will get preference over Non-GATE candidates.

If the result of the qualifying examination is awaited at the time of submitting the application form, the mark list of the pre-final year/semester examination along with final year exam appearance certificate issued by the Principal of college/institute must be enclosed along with the application form. Further the candidate is required to submit to the mark sheet of qualifying examination within the prescribed date which will be notified separately.
