Eligibility required for M.Tech programmes:
Admission to M. Tech. programmes is normally made twice a year, once in July and again in December. Advertisement is released in March/April and September respectively. For eligibility to the M Tech programme, one is required to have passed the qualifying examination, i.e., B. Tech. /B. E. or M. Sc. in the appropriate area as well as hold a valid GATE score. Admission is also allowed in the M. Tech. programmes for the sponsored candidates from the industries as well as research organizations and those admitted need not have qualified GATE.

4. Civil Engineering,
5. Computer Science & Engineering,
6. Electrical Engineering,
7. Mechanical Engineering,
8. Materials and Metallurgical Engineering,
9. Materials Science,
10. Industrial & Management Engineering,
11. Nuclear Engineering and Technology
12. Physics
Eligibility:
Admission to the Ph. D. programme is generally made in both the semesters in a year, i.e., July and December. The advertisement is released by March/April and September each year respectively. The basic qualification for admission to the Ph. D. programme is Master's degree in Engineering, Science, respectively or allied area(s). However, the applicants with Bachelor's degree in Engineering may also be considered for admission based on their performance and attainments. In addition to the basic educational qualifications prescribed in the appropriate area, one is required to have qualified GATE examination for entry to Ph. D. programmes. On the basis of an interview that assesses the candidate's aptitude, proficiency and potential in the area of his/her choice, a candidate is finally chosen. Admission for the sponsored candidates from the industries as well as research organizations is also available in the Ph. D. programme.
Admission of Foreign Students to the Post-graduate programmes:
1. The applicants should send the applications (on plain paper) together with all supporting documents directly to the Dean of Academic Affairs (DOAA).
2. The DOAA will send the applications to the concerned Departments and try to identify the mentors (adviser) for the candidates. Together with this, the Department committee (DPGC) will find out the suitability of the candidate. The committee has to be convinced that the candidate has a reasonably good background to earn 7.5 CPI every semester.
3. On the basis of the recommendations of the Department, DOAA and the Chairman-SPGC will prepare the documents and get the approval of the Chairman-Senate for admission.
4. At this stage, the offer letters (admission only) will be sent to the candidates and they will be advised to contact the HRD ministry of their own countries for formal permission etc.
5. The selected candidates will also be suggested to find out the sponsorship. For the students from the European/North American countries, the problem may be trivial. However, we shall help the students, who will not be able to find out a sponsorship from elsewhere. We shall try for their support through ICCR.
6. Once all these are settled, the student will be asked to fill out a form (basically, name, passport number etc.) and submit it to the local Indian Embassy. This is in addition to his/her application for obtaining visa. In India, we shall also send requests to our home ministry through MHRD for the approval of a long-term
Non-Degree Foreign Students
Usually, the departments process the post doctoral applications directly. The other non - degree students are the Exchange Students. We have a well set route for the exchange students and many faculty members are making use of this. The students, who are interested, may like to contact the DOAA office, for the issues related to exchange students. Tuition Fee Waiver for the Meritorious Students:
Meritorious Foreign Students of Postgraduate Programs are eligible for getting tuition fees waived according to the following guidelines:
1. For the students of South Asian countries, the tuition fees can be brought at par with the fees of the Indian students as applicable from time to time.
2. The tuition fees for the students from other Asian (except Japan) and African countries can be partially waived and brought to US$ 1000 per semester.
The tuition fees for other international students (including Japanese students) can be partially waived and brought to US$ 2000 per semester.
