To pursue M.Tech program in a leading institute of the country. The benefits of M.Tech are:

  1. More and better companies are coming for Campus Placement in leading Institutes
  2. Higher salaries are being offered for M.Tech as compared to B.E.
  3. M.Tech degree leads to specialization and furthering of interest in a certain area which may lead to Ph.D

  4. Generally a large number of students appear for the Computer Science subject in order to do a M.Tech in Computer Science.
  5. Old question papers are available in the shops.
  6. Results of qualified candidates in GATE will give All India Rank and indicate percentile score. For example, a percentile score of 99 means you are in the top 1% category of the candidates who appeared for GATE.
  7. Candidates who get less than 70 percentile get no score card.
  8. GATE scores are valid for 2 years. You may reappear the GATE exam if you are not satisfied with the earlier score and the new score (if better than the old one) will be used for admission purposes.

After the Exam, what next:

  1. After publication of GATE results, students must apply to individual Institutes to get their application forms.
  2. 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.
  3. In the application forms, you have to mention your GATE score alongwith other details.
  4. The concerned Institute may conduct written test and/or interview for the purpose of admission.
  5. 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:

  1. GATE score is valid for 2 years.
  2. The syllabus as required by GATE is generally over by 5th semester.
  3. Anyway, it will be a good try ! If it is a bad score you can always try again.
