Guidelines for M.tech/M.E. admissions for CSE/IT Branch by IISc,bangalore post graduate.

The following analysis is given by post graduate from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. Thanks to Charan who shared this information in our discussion forum. In his words,
Am pretty impressed by the way of running your institute (Got feedback from our batch mates in IISc here), and your committment in sharing your expierience (Nobody in India is doing this). So, I too would like to be a member in IES, and share something from my side.
These are just suggestive / advisory only. People have to contact with the colleges in taking final decision.

Suggested order of preferences:

1. Software Engineering & Programming

2. Computer Science and Engineering

3. Network & Internet Engineering or Distributed Computing Systems

4. Information Technology

5. Multimedia

6. Embedded systems

Here is my suggestion for Institutes in order of preference:

1. IISc, Bangalore

2. IIT, Bombay / Kanpur / Madras / Delhi / Kharagpur / Roorkee / Gowhati

3. Kanwal Rekhi School of information Tehnology, IIT, Bombay ( For both CSE and IT)

4. IIIT, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune, Gwalior

5. NITs : Warangal / Suratkal / Tirichy / Calicut etc…..

6. Anna university, Chennai

7. Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta

8. BITS, Pilani, Mesra, Ranchi

a. M.Tech in Computer Engineering

b. M.Tech in Software Engineering

9. University of Hyderabad

10. Jadavpur University, Calcutta

a. M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering

11. SJCE

a. M.Tech in Network & Internet Engineering

b. M.Tech in Computer Engineering

c. M.Tech in Software Engineering

12. Pondicheerry Engineering College

a. M.Tech. Specialisation: Distributed Computing Systems

13. BMSE, Bangalore: M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering

14. Other University Colleges……


Selection Criteria:

For Computer Science, the selection is, generally based on GATE score. However, some IITs, NITs and other university colleges may conduct a written test / Interview for selection into M.Techs. In such a case, the GATE score is given 70% weightage and remaining 30% weightage is for the written test / Interview. The exact procedure will be known by referring to the information brochure issued by the colleges for admission into M.Tech. The selection criteria may vary from year to year and from college to college.

* In IISc Bangalore, IIT Madras, Kharagpur, Roorkee, the selection is based on GATE score. However in other colleges apart from GATE score, a written test or interview is being conducted for selection into M.Tech. If a student possess excellent rank in the GATE, then direct admission will also be given without any interview.

* In IIIT,Hyderabad the admission is based on written test and interview.

* For Central University, Hyderabad, selection is based on written test and interview.


* If GATE rank is within top 300, there is a chance of getting into IITs.

* If the rank is more than 300, the students can try for those IITs where there is

written test or interview for selection and also apply for NITs and other colleges depending on the merit level..

Non Stipend M.Tech:

Most of the IITs, NITs & other colleges have certain seats reserved in the Non-stipend category. Here, the UGC scholarship will not be given. All the expenses shall be borne by the students only. Those students who are economically sound and desperate to join IITs, can apply . Students, even with low GATE score can get good specializations.

MS Programme:

Offered by most of the IITs and IISc. The MS course is equivalent to M.Tech. It involves research work and takes about 21/2 to 3yrs to complete the course. Very few seats are available in the IITs. Admissions are given twice in a year (in June & Nov. months). Admission are based on GATE score + Degree marks + interview. Candidates with reasonably good GATE score and good academic record (> 70% marks) have chances of getting admission. UGC scholarship will be given throughout the program. Students who can’t get MTech admission in IITs, generally try for MS Course in IITs.

Special attention for SC/ST students :

I 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 I 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 –ve 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:

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. The students may also contact their seniors/friends studying in various colleges for their suggestions and latest information about the colleges.
