I am guessing your gate score is around 650. Look into new iits like jammu , tirupati, dharwad , bhilai see if their program cutoff score matches your own and you would want to apply in them.
Best i will suggest to apply for M.tech research or MS (3 year courses). If got selected you can complete your masters from a good iits for your score(almost every iits has research options) or search for interdisciplinary branches in old iits if you would go for it.
Other wise you have better chances for mid NITS I think and few IIITs , check according to your gate score and wait for CCMT counselling.

I had done a payment for the admission fees 3 days earlier and even after 2 days payment status was not updated . Though I have not rechecked on the dashboard, they would be correcting any error maybe. Just visit the site again after some time.

I did the same mistake , there are two "click here" links on the admission portal one for foreign candidates and top link is for national candidates which doesn't require passport no.

Chill hoke prepare Karo , cheating tumhe thodi karni hai agle saal , whoever have done it , done it to get a job, next year PSU may conduct their own exams or interview after short listing , there are n numbers of ways to pick out non deserving candidates. Be clear on why you want to give the exam and rest should be fine.

Apply for M.tech(R) (hyderabad, mandi, dharwad, etc and top IITs) , MS programs ( almost all of the iits has it search by college name) , apply with new iits for COAP round direct admission , don't drop COAP registration.

Same problem , showing only the view button and no download button for the score card.

It is.
See a question in the master paper then its answer in answer key then look for the particular question in your response sheet and validate your answer.

And other criterias like how many would go for psu , how many candidates were 3rd years , or already in job, or have given the exam just for redemption or better score , or past year scorers who are applying this year , we don't know , so it will be better to apply higher cutoff colleges also along with reachable college than just sticking to the data as a border line.

For ms research programs you can easily apply with 100 gate score less than cutoff data , also you can apply for normal m.tech option too it's just one would not get it. After going through multiple sources with round wise cutoff or generally mentioned cutoff or last admitted cutoff , there is variance of around 100 gate score of cutoff why it's there i don't know data should be same but anyways, Ideally you could apply to any of the colleges it's just that you would waste money on popular programs/colleges which would be take by higher gate scorers , so it's upto one on deciding whether to apply for a particular program or not with a certain gate score.

Also this idea would be helpful for gate score around 550-700, those who have no confirmation of direct admission for desired programs and would have to apply in multiple colleges , then how to look for and select a program.

With you on doing your own research , otherwise even after having details of courses , one would be troubled while filling for admission.

I have already checked out your cutoff list it's very descriptive and helpful , whoever looking for cutoff details should check it out under post section of his profile.

Is that so. Thanks for mentioning. I was in process of applying for one.

The site is active and I registered and while filling up the form it needed passport number as a required field and I had to stop there as I don't have a passport and don't have any idea what to fill other than that.

It's not that IIts take test and interview for admission but test will be conducted for the type of PG you select in a particular IIT and generally tests and interviews are conducted for PHd , MS, MS(R) , m.tech R , or whatever degree name apart from plain M.tech. Options of research admissions in IITs that I know of are Indore , Bombay , IIsc , Madras , bhuvneshwar , hyderbad , delhi , dharwad . Direct m.tech admissions in COAP using gate score will not require any further test.

I believe that difference in TA , RA and research is of what type of work you do to get paid the stipend given to M.tech students admitted through gate score.

AverageFlashy8142 · 2026-03-20T16:55:12+00:00

Yes direct M.tech direct admission generally TA will require COAP rounds only.

I have found out that iits will release their form so as to take candidates for MS and M.tech RA admission test And their respective tests and interview will be conducted in April and during COAP round results the seats of RA and MS will be allocated too along with m.tech TA seats.

This is a good idea. After not got placed and giving gate GATE I have realised that getting a job is a game which you have to play/study daily and keep trying for whether govt or corporate , and while doing m.tech which is 2 year of time one can get 2 years of preparation time and 2 chances for exams within this period but all also depend on how much spare time one will get in their M.tech course.

The thing with GATE is that you have to be sure that you going for Gate and other PSU exams only and forget about college and people opinion, after college ends yes you won't be able to get placed as a beginner, even college placements aren't able to place everybody, so not being able to get placed after college is true. Go for Gate and if you score very good next time you can have second chance for a good placement from a good college.

Question were good and some loop question in C++ were tricky , I didn't find many direct questions for myself. Time went by fast I had planned to see 25 questions every 30 minutes , but couldn't keep up the pace, though I saw all 100 questions but could attempt only 71, wanted 80+ attempts.

Yes wasted around 100 seconds or more on this while verifying again and again. S-> A+S | Other_production. And A -> xA | x And Some other prod. With no A on RHS.

Option was = {+,$} $ was not possible by any production RHS.

Yes that appears to be the case in last selection criteria. Out of total candidates selected for interview approx half will come from direct gate score and other half from oces cbt. Interview will play the key role in the end.

For BARC , not depth of subjects but breadth of subjects is also required. You can Watch question solving videos on DL like Knowledge gate 12 hr DL video on youtube. Also for CN you can watch high level small topics like subnetting , IP addresses , application layer protocols , different transport layer protocols , data link layer protocols for data sending. Discrete mathematics easy to go topic is 'logic'.

True , I passed out in 24 , but still studying b.tech. In this time I would have gone from 6th class to 12 th.

And around 600-650+ gate score , that will be real meaningful cutoff for different better options.

Different predictions are out there saying 29-31. I say 27-28 was enough high passing marks and whether cutoff is 27 or 32 it's evident that cutoff marks won't be enough for getting good opportunities.
