60% aggregate for M.Tech admissions

This year many institutes struck to 60% aggregate in B.Tech or qualifying degree for M.Tech (Master of Technology) admissions.

60% aggregate means, one should have overall 60% marks in all semesters of Engineering course. Few students asked me that is it only final year percentage or all four years percentage? The answer is that one need score minimum 60% marks in all four years course in engineering. That also means from semester 1 to semester 8 combined one must have 60% in B.Tech.

In 2010 M.Tech admissions, I saw only few institute allowed students who have less than 60% aggregate, whereas 2009 many institutes didn’t asked for this conditions. I think from 2011 it will become mandatory condition for admission to al most all institutes and universities in India.

Many student who are at 59.XX have really bad time and luck. I got few comments too asking for some suggestions and most of them have got reasonably good scores but have 59 + %. I strongly recommend them to join some good central university as soon as possible. Because I feel next year may be the admissions will be more stringent. I also suggest them to apply to good institutes in India, because they always look for exceptional candidates and if get a chance you need to prove it. Do apply to NITs if you have good GATE scores.

If you are in final year student and targeting GATE 2011, you must take it seriously and work harder towards it, if you don’t have a 60% aggregate. Even if you score really great in GATE 2011 and don’t have 60% aggregate you will really difficult time during admission. Better prepare in advance and make sure are in 60% + class, usually first class student. Even finding a reasonably good job with below 60% is a quite a daunting task.

Wish you all great luck for your dreams.

Pls. mention the list of IIT’s I can opt for. Thank you.

  14. raj

    sir plz anyone tell me det , i hav 55 % aggregate in btech & if i hav good score in gate den m i eligible for any iits ? ya if 60 % aggregate is required ??

  15. rahul

    the M Tech is possible in after Mca?

  16. sarvu

    aggregate=(sum of all semester marks)/(sum of max marks obtainable in semester). and it is not aggregate of percentages you got in every semester. and if the criteria says aggregate 60% it means aggregate. it need not be 60% in each and every semester. only people who are fucked by universities like pune need worry rest chill.

  33. jayan

    For gate admission whether they consider the first attempt or second attempt marks for calculating the BE aggregate..?

  34. Dinesh

    if you don’t know the meaning of aggregate don’t misguide people. Aggregate is not average always. it depends on university. Like for Pune university aggregated means only final year %, for some university it will be like 10% of (1 st , 2nd , 3rd year ) and 70% of final. Aggregation is summation not the arithmetic mean, i.e. take some weight age from each % and calculate the total. what weightage to take it already decided by university and convey to student so student can manage their study to get 60% aggregate.

  35. praveen kumar vanamala

    Sir, I have scored only 50% aggrigate in my B.Tech. which is not eligible to get any job in IT industry. I wanted to know whether i am eligible to do M.tech in any inistutions (atleast a local, ordinary college) and please tell me necessary steps to take to get admitted into M.Tech & details of admission tests etc. I am from Andhra Pradesh.

  36. ravi

  39. sandesh

    respected sir,
    Some colleges ask for 60% in degree(agreegate not written).In pune university they consider last year % on degree certificate.In this case what is the meaning…..i got 60% in degree as per the rules of pune university(i.e. in last year only) so am i eligible for such colleges? plz reply…mi email is…[email protected]

    1. Aditya

      Mate stay in contact. I’ve got same situation

  40. vaibhav

    why r u confusing these guys actully there are many colleges which asks for only final year percentage like iit bombay(u can go through application forms) only iit delhi and nit jaipur asks for 60 aggregate which can be relaxed in case of high gate score

  41. Aditya

    Some colleges ask for 60% above but CGPA required is above 5.5. What you comment on this case? Recent institute doing this I saw is PEC, and I’m sure there are many more.

  42. suraj

    Its not about only me,59%
    What happened with bachelors, belowed 60% !.
    1.Aren’t they did well in M.tech course!, then What happens in GATE,and Interviews?.
    “Not Every solid guys comes above 60%”.
    what happened with senses of IITian Interviewers,
    2.Are they lose that! OR
    3.Is it load sheding funda!
    4.mention your opinion.

  43. kamal

    sir,
    first all i wanna really thank u for such a good work for right n accurate guidence to m.tech aspirants …..
    i really appriacite ur effort in in this direction..
    now coming to the point for which i m writing this comment is that we only able the question asked by other aspirants not the answer given by u as many of us have same common question again n again if one could see the answer given by you other aspirant will know their answer which for such type already asked…
    to the point what m trying to say is ur answer should be openly viewed by anyone sothat they widen their horizons of knowleghe of related or some new they may not like the communities in ORKUT have forum where anyone answer given experts thereby sharping thier knowleghe on question which may they wanna known but doest strike in mind or they too lazy ask or post their n wait for its answer….
    in all please allow ur answer veiwed openly viewed by anybody sir..//
    in the hope that u may bother my request..
    sir plz plz….

    siR,
    This year lots of students have appeared 4 gate, so chnaces of students getting average percentiles(like me) to get into mtesch admission into good colleges are very bleak.but this year the market scenario is good, many students will enter into jobs,many of them will have less than 60% marks in degrees,etc
    so considering my branch which is ec(which offers many specialisations) though my AIR is above 4000 what do u think about my chances of getting mtech admission in a good college lke nits??/
    (i read one of ur previous post where you told that students having air close to 2500 should apply 4 nits)

    1. Nishant

      Hi sir as per my knowledge.many IITs are entertaining students with less than 60% marks in their qualifying degree..IIT kanpur and madras being among them plus IIT bombay has clearly mentioned requirement of 60% in the final year and not aggregate,IISC banglore has also mentioned 2nd class degree requirement for admission.
