Mechanical Engineering (ME)

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

IITs, 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, generally).

IIT, 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 IIT’S AND IISc THE CANDIDATES ARE ADVISED TO APPLY IN THE FOLLOWING WAY:

All candidates with 99 percentile and above can apply for M.Tech in Design or Manufacturing as first and second priorities based on their interest. The third option is Industrial Engg.

All the 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 specializations.

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

And Order of priorities are :

*For above 99 percentile: design, manufacturing, 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. Design sciences & manufacturing sciences (based on your interest)

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.

M.S PROGRAMME: It is equivalent to M.Tech. Admissions are given twice in a year in (JUNE & NOVEMBER) all IIT’s have M.S programme, here the admission is based Gate score + interview + B.tech marks. Generally minimum period is two years but it depends on candidates hard work. If the guide is satisfied with the work then the guide will recommend for awarding MS, if not it may take more time. In general the average time period will be 2½ to 3 years. Candidates who have percentile above 90 with B.tech percentage above 70%. have chances to get this programme.

FOR MS in all IIT’s, THE CANDIDATES WILL BE CALLED FOR INTERVIEW BASED ON GATE SCORE + DEGREE MARKS ( GENERAL METHOD ), BUT SOME TIMES THEY MAY CALL BASED ON GATESCORE ITSELF.

NITIE ( Mumbai) : this is a very good institute in industrial Engg. Here the admissions are based on Gate score + Group discussion + interview. G.D will be conducted generally on the general topics like privatization, how to develop Rural areas, literacy development, terms related to contract and agreement, role of a manager effects of Gulf war on India, Signing on nuclear treaty by INDIA, TSUNAMI and preventive measures, Outsourcing etc. Candidates those who have percentile above 85, will be called for the GD and interview. But fee is 90000 per year and student is entitled to get Rs 5000/- per month as assistantship. After doing PG here you will get a job with min of Rs 8 Lakhs / year. But one thing,you have facility to avail loan in the banks.

PSG college of Engg. Coimbattor: it is a good institute and placement is almost equal to IIT’s. selection is based on Gate + Tamilnadu PG test . First the candidate has to appear for Tamilnadu PG test. Candidates have to apply separately for each department.

NIFFT, Ranchi: Here there are only two specializations, Foundry and manufacturing Engg. Placement is good but in the hardware side only. Admissions are purely based on Gate percentile. 100% placement.

BITS , Pilani: it is also a good institute and is generally next to IIT’s . almost 100% good placement is available. Admissions are based on Gate score. + test for 100 ONE mark QUESTIONS (sometime interview also conducted after test)

NIT, Trichy: This is the top most NIT out of all NIT’s. Here welding technology will be given first preference because, it has very good placement . Admissions are based on Gate score + written test + interview. Here if you complete welding technology specialization you will definitely get job in BHARAT HEAVY PLATES AND VESSELS LTD , VISAKAPATNAM. BUT DESIGN , MANUFACTURING AND OTHER SPECIALISATIONS ALSO EXCELLENT.

THAPAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY – PATIALA : Here also they are giving admissions based on GATE + interview. But institute and studies are excellent and almost placement is 100%.

BHU (Benarus Hindu University): good institute, placement is available and admissions are based on Gate score + test. Here manufacturing is very nice.

Also this year some private engineering college of AP also started M.Tech like CBIT, Vasavi, GPREC, RGIT etc.

Preferences: Generally Design and manufacturing are treated as equally preferred specializations. Next comes out to be industrial management or industrial engg , next preference goes to the thermal, next is Composites, Aerospace, Ocean Engg., Maintenance Engg., etc.

ABOVE 99 PERCENTILE: They have to apply for all IIT’s and IISc with their interested specializations. They also have to apply for NITIE. If they are between 99 and 99.5 and require design or manufacturing specialization, they have to apply PSG, NIT’s or apply non-stipend (self financing) in IIT’s. etc.

BETWEEN 98 & 99 percentiles: They have to apply for all IIT’s and IISc, They will definitely get seat in IIT’s but not design or manufacturing , but it may be thermal etc. but they have chances to get design or Mfg. If they apply in non-stipend category. They also can apply for NITIE.

BETWEEN 97 & 98 percentiles: They have to apply for all IIT’s and IISc, PSG Coimbuttor, NITIE, NIFFT, for M.Tech, all IIT’s for M.S Programme. You will definitely get seat in IIT’s

but not design or manufacturing or thermal but it may be ocean engg, aerospace engg, etc. But they will have chances to get design or Mfg. If they apply in non-stipend category. Also have chances to get M.S Programme in IIT’ with stipend.

BETWEEN 95 & 97: They can apply for all IIT’s for M.Tech with specializations of Ocean Engg, Aerospace Engg., Maintenance Engg. etc type of least preferred ones with stipend and non stipend. There are chances to get this. You also can apply IIT’s for M.S Programme. You have chances to get this, if you have good percentage in B.Tech and if you perform well in the interview. In addition to this you also have to apply for PSG, CIT, NIFFT, VJTI, NITIE, NIT Trichy, NIT Calicutt, BITS, BHU, NIT Suratkal etc.

BETWEEN 90 & 95: Can apply for M.S Programme in IIT’s . If Candidates have good percentage in B.Tech and if they perform well in the interview they have chances to get a seat. you also have to apply for PSG,CIT,NIFFT,VJTI, NITIE, NIT Trichy, NIT Calicutt, BITS, BHU, NIT Suratkal, NIT-Warangal , NIT Bhopal, NIT Durgapur,all other NIT’s, Karnataka &Tamilnadu Engineering Colleges , SVUCE, JNTU, OUCE, AUCE, etc.

BELOW 90 percentiles: You have chances to get seat in NIT Allahabad, NIT Bhopal , University Engg. Colleges like SVUCE, JNTU, OUCE, AUCE, Karnataka and Tamilnadu engg colleges (Govt. & Private) , Jodhpur University etc. Recently in AP also many Engineering colleges has started M.Tech programs and they are also giving stiphend. All below 90 will definitely get seat in this colleges.
