• Hello
• Yes its possible to get admission in IITs without GATE,  but for that you must require 8.0 or more CPI other than that you have to give written test and will have to face personal interview.
• Best of luck

For admission into M.Tech or MS in Engineering everyone have their own reasons and they prepare GATE accordingly. Few students have time and high targets and they start preparing for it well in advance. Most of them take a year break too to attend some coaching classes for making it to IITs.On the same time, we often see students who are very enthusiastic but could not make it to GATE for some reasons. Few energetic faculty members engineering colleges and universities often try to find a way to get into a good college with minimum or no GATE score. There many reasons, one of them is final exams for engineering or internal test fall during same time making it difficult for them to compete with regular Engineering students or student taking coaching class



Apart from these, there are few average students who always think of high standards but could not make it to GATE. Once they miss it they lose hope and get into a below standard jobs because of social and financial barriers they have to face for one year. Finally end up not realizing the dream, they dream while joining Engineering studies.



In this post I m trying to give the possible ways of admission into M.Tech and MS by Research course in IITs, NITs, Some very good Universities and State Colleges. Hope this will help you all. I also wrote few other posts related to M.Tech admissions process and requirements based on students question, please refer toA set of Must Read articles for M.Tech aspirantsfor more details.



Admission to Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) or National Institute of Technology (NITs) Without GATE score (NON-GATE):

Most of the student can not imagine going to IITs without tough completion, which is a correct assumption. But there are ways to get into IITs and NITs without GATE scores too. Below are the possible cases.

Sponsored Candidates:If you are working in industry for over three year and can prove that your employer is ready to allow you to go to study by letters from authority, you can apply under this category.

There are few seats reserved under this category in both IITs and NITs.

Quality Improvement Program (QIP):This is started by Govt. of India to improve the quality of teaching staff in state colleges by giving them a chance to attend Indias top most engineering schools. All the faculty members with three years plus experience are eligible for this.

Kindly read the upcoming post giving detail view of these programs.



Admission to Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs):

They conduct their own exam for admission. Anyone can apply and try to get admission for Master of Engineering. These colleges are deemed universities and have good infrastructure and placements.



Admission to Central and State Universities:

Few Central Universities conduct there own exams and few consider GATE scores too. Most of the State University doesnt get GATE qualified students, therefore they conduct their own written test and interview.
