Hello Keshwanand,

Yes, for admission in M.Tech  in Disaster mitigation and management from IIT Roorkee, the selection criteria is 70% GATE normalized marks and 30% interview. For Main GATE Discipline, the previous cutoff was 27.49 (year 2017) and 28.61 (year 2016) for general category.

Hope this answers your query, feel free to ask for more info.

Hi Keshwanand, yes it is possible for a mechanical engineering student to pursue m.tech in disaster mitigation and management. Courses from (Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Industrial, Chemical, and Engineering/Computer Science or equivalent, B.Arch. & B. Planning, or M.Tech. in Geological Technology and Geophysical Technology or equivalent, or M.B.A. or M.C.A. or M.Sc. in Physics/ Geophysics/Geology / Mathematics) can all have eligibility to take this for M.Tech course. 

Hi Siddhesh, the cutoff varies every year based on various factors like number of test takers, number of seats available, difficulty level of exams etc. However based on previous cutoffs, you have high chances to get admission in IIT Roorkee for this cutoff. You can refer to this link below for various cutoffs for various courses in IIT Roorkee,

I hope this will solve your query.

Good luck.

Hello dear, 

As you have scored 36 marks in gate 2019 in Civil engineering, you have very very less chance to get seat in IIT roorkee as previous year cutoff for Civil engineering is 55 in 100 .

• Nanotechnology
• Disaster mitigation and Management
• Physics
• Earthquake engineering
• AHEC

• I hope this would have helped you. All the best!

Hello Saurabh,

Nanotechnology is an advanced field and those with M.tech can join engineering firms and research labs. In IIT Roorkee placement scenario in nanotechnology cant be called very good, not very bad though but most of the students prefer to go for research or a Ph.D. or teaching after M.tech.

If you want a good career in India, scope in nanotechnology here is still in the development stage. In India, it is still at the educational level not at the implementation level. Research labs and institutions such as IISc, TIFR, NCBS, and IITs are performing research in this field. If you are interested in working in the industry with Nanotechnology then options are not many. You may find a very few companies working on nanotechnology where you may find recruitment. But if research interests you then you can join any one of the prestigious institutions listed above or move abroad for pursuing it.

Nanotechnology is doing very well abroad in nations such as USA, UK, Singapore, Germany, China, etc in terms of R&D. There has been significant development towards the usage of Nanotechnology in cosmetics, food and textiles and medicines also(Nanomedicine).

Though slowly yet opportunities in this career field are growing. Soon there will be numerous job sectors in which you can be employed such as

Environmental observing, control

Food science including quality control and packaging

Forensics

federal lab research

Military and national security

Energy capture and storage

Electronic industries

Material science including textiles, polymers, packaging, and many more areas.

Hope it helps!
