I’m gonna be talking about only the Old IIT’s

Primary method is GATE score(pretty much all IIT’s), actual marks scored in GATE(e.g - ROORKEE).

Interviews are most common once you get shortlisted(IITB, IITD, IITK, IISc are few examples)

Written exams take place in IISc and IITB for some branches not all.

IIT’s which shortlist students solely based on GATE score - IITM, IITKgp, IITR

IITM and IITKgp counselling process is online.

IITR counselling process happens in the campus, one has to be present in person and alert when his/her roll no. is called, you miss it, the next person below you takes your place.

All IIT’s except IITK let you appear for more than one interview if eligible.

The branch preference order while filling up the application forms are very important. Messing it up is not advised. 

For example, this is the order you choose:

1. Signal Processing.

2. VLSI

3. Microwave

Say you get shortlisted for Signal Processing in the 1st round, you can no longer get shortlisted for VLSI, Microwave etc.

Different specializations have different GATE score requirements, VLSI pre-requisites pretty much reigning over others in pretty much all IIT’s.

Then there is this COAP process adopted by pretty much all Old IIT’s which totally messes up things. People can either get lucky or can get stuck with a shitty stream. Pretty sure there will be some changes to it, so not gonna be talking about it right now.

Hope you find it helpful

let me know in the comment box if you are having any further doubts

thanks

Good Luck!

Dear Aspirant 

For getting admission in IITs for M. Tech program you have to appear in exam called GATE(Graduate aptitude test for engineering) which is conducted every year in the month of February and for that eligibility is that you should have passed bachelor of Technology. So you can prepare and appear for exam in appearing and coming years. 

Good luck for your future :) 

Feel free to ask if you have any further queries. 

Hello,
Student need to register and appear in GATE examination. The IIT M.Tech admission will be on the basis of GATE scores of the candidates. Students who have their UG engineering degree from IIT with a CGPA of 8.0 or above are however exempted form having GATE score.
Apart from GATE, candidates will also have to apply to each IIT individually to complete the registration process.
