M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering Stream

IIT’s: MADRAS & KHARAGPUR are offering direct admissions based on GATE score. (Normally they ask you to give 8 to 10 preferences of specialisations.) IITs, KANPUR, MUMBAI, ROORKEE, GAUHATI & IISc BANGALORE are giving admissions for some specialisation based on the GATE score directly and some specialisations based on GATE Score + TEST + INTERVIEW. So candidates are advised to opt for first preference carefully, appropriate to their GATE score (last year admissions GATE SCORE and specialisations will be given in the brochure or website, generally). IIT, DELHI is giving admissions based on GATE Score + INTERVIEW. In general candidates are called for interview by considering their first preference, so care to be taken while opting for the first preference appropriate to their GATE score. For IIT’S and IISc, the candidates are advised to apply in the following way:All candidates with 99 percentile and above can apply for M.Tech in Design or Manufacturing as first and second priorities based on their interest. The third option is Industrial Engineering All the above 98 percentile candidates can apply for industrial, thermal and applied mechanics etc. Above 96&97 percentile candidates can apply to Applied Mechanics, Composites, Aerospace Engineering. But 97&98 percentile candidates can apply for MS also for good specializations. All above 90 percentile candidates can apply for MS In IIT MUMBAI the order of priorities for ASSISTANTSHIP may be given as follows.1. Teaching assistantship 2. Research assistantship 3. Teaching assistantship with project 4. Research assistantship with project. And Order of priorities are:Order of priorities in IIT Madras 1. Design sciences & manufacturing sciences (based on your interest) 2. Design sciences & manufacturing sciences (based on your interest) 3. Industrial management ( Humanities department) 4. Thermal sciences 5. Composites 6. Aerospace engineering 7. Ocean engineering 8. Metallurgical sciences 9. Any other specialization of your interest But 97&98 percentile candidates can apply for MS also for good specialization All above 90 percentile candidates can apply for MS The same way for other IIT’s also you can apply.

You also have to apply for PSG,CIT,NIFFT,VJTI, NITIE, NIT Trichy, NIT Calicutt, BITS, BHU, NIT Suratkal, NIT-Warangal , NIT Bhopal, NIT Durgapur,all other NIT’s, Karnataka &Tamilnadu Engineering Colleges , SVUCE, JNTU, OUCE, AUCE, etc. BELOW 90 percentiles: You have chances to get seat in NIT Allahabad, NIT Bhopal, University Engineering Colleges like SVUCE, JNTU, OUCE, AUCE, Karnataka and Tamilnadu Engineering colleges (Govt. & Private) , Jodhpur University etc. Recently in AP also many Engineering colleges has started M.Tech programs and they are also giving stipend. All below 90 will definitely get seat in these colleges. 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 negative 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. Note: The students are advised to select the first preference carefully, appropriate to their GATE score level as the students are called for interview based on their 1st preference opted, generally. 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 at least 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. The students are also advised to visit the websites of the premier colleges for all the latest details on M.Tech admissions. 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.
