Hi, I have done BE in EEE but working as a software engineer from last 3years. I want to study MS in computer science and engineering, do I have to clear any exams or how can I get seat in IIT Madras? And is it possible to do part time MS? If yes, what is the course duration?

Getting into an M.S. program in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Madras with a B.E. in EEE and software engineering experience is possible.

While not mandatory for all specializations, some M.S. programs at IIT Madras, including CSE, recommend a GATE score for shortlisting candidates. A good GATE score can strengthen your application.

Your B.E. in EEE is a valid bachelor's degree, but some foundational knowledge of computer science would be beneficial. Your 3 years as a software engineer demonstrate practical experience in the field. You can highlight relevant projects and skills in your application. IIT Madras typically considers a combination of factors for selection, including GATE score (if applicable), academic performance in B.E., Statement of Purpose (SOP), and letters of recommendation (LOR).

IIT Madras doesn't currently offer a part-time M.S. program in CSE.However, they do offer a Master of Science (MSc) by Research program, which allows some flexibility in scheduling research work.

The full-time M.S. program in CSE at IIT Madras is typically a two-year program.
