Hey Aspirant!

Yes, you definitely can pursue MTech in Computer Science after BTech in Mechanical Engineering, and when you aim for it you have to gather a lot of basic knowledge about computers to crack the GATE paper.

A bit of microprocessor, Linux, kernels, structures etc. That will help you understand. You should have good knowledge like CSE aspirant. Apply for GATE examinations and get a good score in CSE and you'll definitely be able to pursue your dream.

And for GATE preparation and for various update on GATE you can check Careers360:

Hello,

Yes you can do m.tech in computer science via GATE as per eligibility criteria any candidate who passed graduation can apply for gate.but why are you thinking to change your stream because both are different streams one deals with machines and other is related with software.i highly recommend think about pros and cons before changing your stream.

Good luck!!

Hey,

Yes you definitely can take admission for M.Tech computer science after B.Tech mechanical engineering but remember your gate score card must be of CSE stream, if you are going with mechanical GATE score then it is not possible to take admission for another branch in M.Tech.

Hope this helps you.
