Production Engineering (PI)

There is no reservation for PI candidates in IIT’s, they are treating PI candidates along with mechanical only i.e. wherever PI candidates are eligible, they are seeing the percentile/score of mechanical and PI candidates and whoever got high percentile/score for them they are giving seat. But the rank is immaterial.

The same thing is happening with some of the other colleges also. But in some colleges like PSG Coimbuttor, NIFFT Ranchi etc there is reservation for PI.

IIT’s : MADRAS & KHARAGPUR are offering direct admissions based on GATE score ( normally they ask you to give 8 to 10 preferences of specialisations.)

KANPUR, MUMBAI, ROORKEE, GAUHATI & IISc BANGALORE are giving admissions for some specialisation based on the GATE score directly and some specialisations based on GATE Score + TEST + INTERVIEW. So candidates are advised to opt for first preference carefully, appropriate to their GATE score ( last year admissions GATE SCORE and specialisations will be given in the brochure or website).

DELHI is giving admissions based on GATE Score + INTERVIEW. In general candidate are called for interview by considering their first preference so candidate are advised to opt for first preference carefully, appropriate to their GATE score .

FOR THE IIT’S AND IISc THE CANDIDATES HAVE TO APPLY IN THE FOLLOWING WAY: All candidates with 99 percentile and above can apply for M.Tech in manufacturing as first priorities. The second option is Industrial Engg. But in some colleges they allowing you for desin also , in such cases you are required to apply design as second preference.

All above 98 percentile candidates can apply for industrial, thermal and applied mechanics etc

Above 96&97 percentile candidates can apply to applied mechanics, composites, aerospace engg,

But 97&98 percentile candidates can apply for MS also for good specialization

All above 90 percentile candidates can apply for MS

In IIT MUMBAI the order of priorities for ASSISTANTSHIP may be given as follows.

1. teaching assistantship 2. Research assistantship

3. Teaching assistantship with project 4. Research assistantship with projec

And Order of priorities are:

For above 99 percentile: manufacturing, design ( if they allow you) industrial engg, thermal engg

For above 98 percentile: thermal, Aerospace, energy systems, composites, corrosion engg

For above 97&96 percentile: energy systems engg, triobology, corrosion engg

But 97&98 candidates can apply for MS also for good specialization

All above 90 candidates can apply for MS

Order of priorities in IIT madras (in mechanical department now they will take only on three specializations wise,

but after first semester based on your performance in first semester they will allot specializations)

1.&2. manufacturing sciences & Design sciences

3. industrial management ( Humanities department)

4. thermal sciences

5. composites

6. Aerospace engineering

7. Ocean engineering

8. Metallurgical sciences

9. any other specialization of your interest

But 97&98 percentile candidates can apply for MS also for good specialization

All above 90 percentile candidates can apply for MS

The same way for other IIT’s also you can apply.
