Hi,

Your son's GATE 2025 score of 26.73 in Computer Science (CS) is below the expected qualifying cutoff for general category candidates, which is approximately 27.6.  Qualifying the GATE exam is a prerequisite for admission to postgraduate programs in Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs). Therefore, with a score below the qualifying cutoff, securing admission to IITs or NITs for an M.Tech in Computer Science would not be feasible.

However, there are alternative pathways to consider:

1. State and Private Universities : Several state and private universities in India offer postgraduate programs in Computer Science and may have their own entrance examinations or consider GATE scores below the national qualifying mark. It's advisable to research individual university admission criteria and apply accordingly.

2. Improving GATE Score : Your son can consider reappearing for the GATE exam next year after thorough preparation to achieve a higher score, thereby enhancing his chances of securing admission to premier institutes.

May this will help you!!!

Hello,

NSUT primarily admits students into its B.Tech programs through JEE Main scores and the JAC Delhi counseling process.

Specific cutoff ranks for lateral entry into the Computer Science branch (CEE LE) are not publicly available.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

With a GATE score of 255 in Computer Science (CS) and belonging to the SC category, securing admission to top IITs may be challenging, as their cutoffs are generally higher.

With a score of 255, your options might include:

• State Government Engineering Colleges: Many state-level institutions have varying cutoff scores and may offer M.Tech admissions with your GATE score.

• Private Engineering Colleges: Some private institutions accept GATE scores for their postgraduate programs and might have more flexible admission criteria.

• Self-Financed Programs: Certain universities offer self-financed M.Tech programs where the competition might be less intense.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, you are eligible for B.Tech lateral entry in the CS branch since most colleges require a minimum of 60% in a diploma for admission. However, admission criteria vary from college to college.

Some colleges offer direct admission based on diploma marks, while others require you to clear an entrance exam like LEET, JELET, or university-specific exams . You should check the admission process of the college you are interested in.

Hope it helps !

Hello Devanshi,

Your last year diploma score of 81.57 % is quite excellent. And Yess, you are eligible to get lateral entry in CS Branch in Second year for B.Tech. However, your admission to any college depends on whether lateral entry through diploma score is available to that college or not. If lateral entry is available to college then it will be through merit. This depends on following factors,

1. Seat Matrix

2. Your category.

I request you to kindly prepare a list of your preferred colleges and then go through last 5 year cut off. Admission will be centralized process. So, competitive state authority will release forms for registration. After that they will release seat matrix for each college where seats for lateral entry are available. Where you can check no of seats available according to category. Then you have to fill option form according to your preference of college. Based on merit and your preference you will be allotted college.

Hope this answers your query. All the best !!
