Compare IIT Indore vs IIT Kharagpur

Admissions are done on the basis of rank obtained in JEE Advanced exam.

The admission will be based on either GATE Score only or GATE Score (70 % weightage) and a personal interview (30 % weightage). 

The personal interview will be held to test the following: 

(a) Motivation and aptitude for the Programme 

(b) Suitability for the department/center 

(c) Skills in basic science, engineering, and relevant areas. The personal interview will be conducted at IIT Kharagpur only.

Important Note: For specializations where admission is based on both GATE score and interview, a candidate who fails to appear for the personal interview will not be considered for admission in that specialization.

The Candidates must satisfy at least one of the following two criteria with
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as compulsory subjects in the year of
first appearance in the Class XII (or equivalent examination):

1. Must have secured at least 75% aggregate marks in the Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination. The aggregate marks for SC, ST and PwD candidates should be at least 65%.

2. Must be within the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful
candidates in their respective Class XII (or equivalent) board
examination.

The percentile calculation will be done for all the required subjects, in a single
academic year only. Therefore, candidates appearing for improvement in
Board examinations can EITHER appear in one or more subjects and secure
75% aggregate marks (65% for SC, ST and PwD) after improvement, OR,
appear for improvement in ALL subjects to be in top 20 percentile (see Section
titled “Regarding the cut-off marks for the top 20 percentile”) of the
corresponding academic year.

The marks scored in the following five subjects will be considered for
calculating the aggregate marks and the cut-off marks for fulfilling the top
20 percentile criterion.

i. Physics

ii. Chemistry

iii. Mathematics

iv. A language (if the candidate has taken more than one language, then the
language with the higher marks will be considered)

v. Any subject other than the above four (the subject with the highest
marks will be considered).

For calculation of the total marks for five subjects, if the marks awarded in
a subject is NOT out of 100, then the marks will be scaled (up or down) to
100 so that the total aggregate marks is out of 500.

If a Board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent
percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a
certificate from the Board specifying the equivalent marks and submit it at
the time of acceptance of the allocated seat. In case such a certificate is not
provided, the decision taken by the Joint Implementation Committee of
JEE (Advanced) 2023 will be final.

For candidates who appeared in the Class XII (or equivalent) Board
examination for the first time in 2022 and reappeared in ALL subjects (for
whatsoever reason) in 2023, the best of the two performances will be
considered.

• If a Board gives aggregate marks considering both Class XI and Class XII
examinations (in the 10+2 system), then only Class XII marks will be
considered. If a Board gives aggregate marks considering the results of all
three years of a 3-year diploma or courses of equivalent duration, then the
marks scored only in the final year will be considered. Similarly, for
Boards which follow a semester system, the marks scored in the final two
semesters will be considered.

In case any of the subjects Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Language
are not evaluated in the final year (e.g., in a 3-year diploma course), then
the marks for the same subject from the previous year/s will be used for
calculating percentage of aggregate marks.

If a Board does not give marks scored in individual subjects but gives only
the aggregate marks, then the aggregate marks given by the Board will be
considered as such.

The program is open to candidates of all categories with a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture/M.Sc or equivalent professional degrees (AMIE etc.) and having valid GATE score.

Make sure that your GATE marks are above the cut-off marks of your category and GATE paper.
