M.Tech Admissions - 2012- Suggestions / Guidelines Mechanical Engineering (ME) NOTE: The following suggestions / guidelines for M.Tech admissions have been prepared by us considering the information given by previous students based on their score & Rank IIT s : MADRAS & KHARAGPUR are offering direct admissions based on GATE rank/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 rank/score directly and some specialisations based on GATE rank/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 candidate are called for interview by considering their first preference so candidate are advised to opt for first preference carefully, appropriate to their GATE score. FOR IIT S AND IISc THE CANDIDATES ARE ADVISED TO APPLY IN THE FOLLOWING WAY: All candidates within 200 rank or 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 Engg. All the ranks within 700 (or above 98 percentile) candidates can apply for industrial, thermal and applied mechanics etc. Above 600 rank (or 96&97 percentile) candidates can apply for applied mechanics, composites, aerospace engg, etc. Above 500 rank (or 97&98 percentile) candidates can apply for MS also for good specializations and NITs. Students above 800 rank can apply for MS/NITs 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 : *For above 99 percentile: design, manufacturing, industrial engg, thermal Engg. *For above 98 percentile: thermal, Aerospace, energy systems, composites,corrosion engg. *For above 97&96 percentile: energy systems engg, triobology, corrosion engg.
*But 97&98 candidates can apply for MS also for good specialization *All above 90 candidates can apply for MS Order of priorities in IIT madras (in mechanical department now they will take only on three specializations-wise, but after first semester based on your performance in first semester they will allot specializations) 1.&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. M.S PROGRAMME: It is equivalent to M.Tech. Admissions are given twice in a year in (JUNE & NOVEMBER) all IIT s have M.S programme, here the admission is based Gate score + interview + B.tech marks. Generally minimum period is two years but it depends on candidates hard work. If the guide is satisfied with the work then the guide will recommend for awarding MS, if not it may take more time. In general the average time period will be 2½ to 3 years. Candidates who have percentile above 90 with B.tech percentage above 70%. have chances to get this programme. FOR MS in all IIT s, THE CANDIDATES WILL BE CALLED FOR INTERVIEW BASED ON GATE SCORE + DEGREE MARKS ( GENERAL METHOD ), BUT SOME TIMES THEY MAY CALL BASED ON GATESCORE ITSELF. NITIE ( Mumbai) : this is a very good institute in industrial Engg. Here the admissions are based on Gate score + Group discussion + interview.

All below 90 will definitely get seat in this 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: 1.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 2. 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 3. 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. 4. The students are also advised to visit the websites of the premier colleges for all the latest details on M.Tech admissions. 5. All the above guidelines are only suggestive / advisory.
