Your Gateway to an IIT MTech Degree
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi has officially opened its doors for MTech admissions for the upcoming academic session. Aspiring engineers who have successfully qualified the GATE 2026 examination are invited to submit their applications for a range of cutting-edge specializations. This is a crucial chance for students to secure a seat in a highly sought-after postgraduate program and advance their careers in technology and research.
Key Eligibility and Program Details
Admission is open for several MTech programs, including Structural Engineering, VLSI, Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Power Electronics and Drives, and Biotechnology. A valid GATE scorecard in the relevant discipline is the primary requirement for most applicants. However, there’s good news for some IIT graduates. Students graduating from any IIT with a BTech degree and a CGPA of 7.5 or higher are exempt from the GATE score requirement, with CGPA relaxations available for reserved categories (7.0 for OBC-NCL and 6.5 for SC/ST/PwD).
