  • For MCA/MSC passed graduates, the percentage score of MCA/MSC would be considered. For BE/BTech Engineering graduates without PG specialization, the percentage score of the undergraduate degree would be considered. For a post-graduation in the Engineering field of study,
  • PG score qualification can be considered.
  • GATE is not mandatory.
  • Selection process will be scheduled post-counseling & application process, depending on the number of eligible applications as per seat availability for the program. This entire process will be online.
  • Candidates who do not meet the minimum CGPA or percentage requirement, can still be considered if they provide relevant work experience in the technical field.

Exam & Assessment Structure

M.Tech (online) program follows a structured evaluation system with mid-semester and end-semester exams assessing theoretical concepts. Continuous assessments, include Assignments, projects, and quizzes, ensure ongoing evaluation aligned with course requirements. This proposed structure ensures that students are thoroughly assessed on both theoretical knowledge and their ability to apply these in real-world scenarios.

Exam Type Focus Areas
Mid Semester Exam - 20 to 30% (MCQs + Fill in the Blanks + Descriptive Questions)
End Semester Exam - 30 to 40% (MCQs + Fill in the Blanks + Descriptive Questions)
Continuous Evaluation - 30 to 40% (Marks per category is decided by faculty course wise)

Admission Process

The M.Tech admission process begins with online application submission along with required documents. The Admissions Applications Committee first reviews the application documents to verify eligibility. On successful eligibility verification, the candidate receives an Application Confirmation Letter. In the 2nd stage, the candidates actual selection takes place scrutinized by a faculty committee. Upon actual selection by the Institute, the candidate must confirm admission by paying the prescribed fee. Upon successful payment, a Selection/Final Acceptance Letter is issued confirming enrollment in the program.
