Admission to the M.S/Ph.D. program

Admission is through an entrance exam/interview conducted by the Department. IIT Madras will call for admissions for the MS/PhD programs in leading newpapers. This is also available on the IIT website. After you apply, if you are shortlisted, you will be asked to appear for a written test/interview at the Department at a specified date and time. If selected, the applicant will be asked to join the Institute on a given date.
Note. M.S. admission requires a valid GATE score. The test/interview is in addition to the GATE score. The GATE score is only to shortlist candidates who are eligible to appear in the test/interview. After that, admission depends solely on the performance in the test/interview.
