Yes for sure if you graduate from ISI with a B.Math degree and clear GATE in Computer Science, you can apply for M.Tech programs in CSE-related fields at IISc and IITs. Most of these institutes accept candidates from any undergraduate discipline as long as they have a valid GATE CS score. However, some specializations or departments may have additional eligibility requirements, like prior coursework in programming, algorithms, or discrete mathematics. Since your B.Math background gives you a strong theoretical foundation, you’ll likely meet the academic criteria, but it’s best to check each IIT/IISc department’s brochure before applying.

Yes — if you graduate from ISI with a B.Math degree and clear GATE in Computer Science, you can apply for M.Tech in Computer Science or related fields at IITs and IISc.

Here’s why:

  • Eligibility: IITs and IISc usually allow graduates from any discipline (including mathematics) to apply for M.Tech in CSE, as long as they have a valid GATE score in CSE. They don’t always require a B.Tech/B.E. — degrees like B.Sc. or B.Math are accepted if the applicant has strong math and computing background.

  • What matters most: Your GATE CSE score and rank will be the key deciding factors. A high score (usually 650+ for top IITs/IISc) will boost your chances.

  • Possible fields: M.Tech in Computer Science, Computational and Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Information Technology, and interdisciplinary areas.

One thing to note — some IITs may additionally check for basic programming knowledge or might have an interview/written test after GATE.

Hello,

Yes, you can.
If you have a B.Math degree from ISI and qualify GATE in Computer Science, you are eligible to apply for M.Tech in Computer Science or related fields at IISc or IITs.
Admission will depend on your GATE score and the institute’s selection process.

Hope it helps !

Yes. With a BStat or BMath from ISI, you can apply for MTech/MS in Computer Science at IISc, IITs, and ISI, provided you qualify through GATE (CS paper) or ISI’s own entrance test. Most IITs and IISc accept non-engineering graduates if they meet the eligibility criteria and cut-offs. Always check each program’s brochure for specific requirements

Good evening, yes, you can pursue M.Tech in Computer Science from IISc or IITs with a B.Math degree from ISI, provided you have a valid GATE CS score. Here's details based on official eligibility criteria:

IISc Bangalore – M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering

Eligibility:

BE/BTech or equivalent degree (includes B.Math from ISI if recognized)

Valid GATE CS score (from 2023, 2024, or 2025)

Selection: Based only on GATE CS score

IIT Hyderabad – M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering

Eligibility:

4-year B.Tech/B.E. or M.Sc/MS/MCA in CS/IT/Maths

Valid GATE CS score

Candidates from IITs/IISc with CGPA ≥ 8.0 may get GATE waiver

Hello student,

Yes, it is possible to pursue an M.Tech in Computer Science at IITs or IISc after graduating with a B.Math from ISI and qualifying the GATE CS exam. While your background is in mathematics, the GATE CS score demonstrates your aptitude for computer science and allows you to apply for M.Tech programs in the field.

Thank you !!

Rahul Mandal 10th Aug, 2025

Hello,

Yes, you are right. You can pursue an M.Tech course in any computer science field from IIS or IIT if you graduate from ISI with a B.Math degree and pass out with GATE CS. While B.Tech is a common eligibility criterion for the M.Tech, if  you have a good score in the GATE exam, you can get chances for admission to institutes like IISCs and IITs.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hey:)

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes ,you can apply for M.Tech in computer science or related fields at IITs and IISc if you graduate with a mathematics degree and qualify GATE in computer science .

Even though your degree is in mathematics, qualifying GATE in computer science makes you eligible to apply for M.Tech in CS at IITs and IISc.However, admission also depends on your GATE score,meeting Institute-specific cutoffs etc.

It is advisable to check the specific eligibility criteria of the IITs and IISc you're interested in,as some may require CS background or coursework.
