| After GATE: |
After
publication of GATE results,
students must apply to individual
Institutes to get their application
forms. 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. In the application
forms, you have to mention your
GATE score along with other
details. The concerned Institute
may conduct written test and/or
interview for the purpose of
admission.
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 percentiles, then apply
for top RECs, JADAVPUR, SHIBPUR,
ROORKEE, etc. If less than 85,
you have to look for appropriate
institutes. |

During
the pursuit of M.Tech, you are
paid a scholarship of Rs.8000.00
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. |
