Hey!

IIT KGP accepts only XE and AG GATE scores for Food Process Engineering. They haven't started to admit GATE XL students yet.

So the Answer to your question is NO.

Hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great.

With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like to tell you that in order to get Food processing and Engineering in Mtech in IIT Kharagpur, then you need to qualify GATE examination with 6.5 CGPA in your 4 years Btech course degree programme.

IT Kharagpur offers a plethora of programs in the undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and doctoral levels. The IIT Kharagpur admission process and eligibility criteria for each of the programs are different. However, there are some common steps in the IIT Kharagpur admission processes such as a qualifying entrance examination, certain minimum percentage or CGPA in the previous degree, personal interaction round in some cases as well as a statement of research may be required for doctoral programs.
