Final-year students can apply provisionally, but must produce their degree certificate or provisional certificate at the time of document verification.

  • The B.E./B.Tech must be in a relevant engineering discipline that corresponds to the chosen M.Tech specialisation.
  • Students with an M.Sc. in a relevant science subject (such as Mathematics, Physics, or Chemistry) may be eligible for specific M.Tech programmes, subject to university rules.

  • Students appearing in their final B.Tech examination can apply but must submit results before the date of reporting for seat allotment.

Minimum GATE Score for RTU CAM 2026

RTU CAM 2026 does not prescribe a fixed minimum GATE score for counselling registration — any student with a valid GATE scorecard in the relevant paper can apply. Seat allotment is purely merit-based on GATE score, and a higher score significantly improves your chances of securing a preferred branch and institute.

The GATE score is normalised on a scale of 1000 marks. Based on previous-year admission trends, the table below shows approximate GATE score ranges and the expected level of competition for RTU CAM M.Tech admission.

GATE Score Range (out of 1000) Expected Admission Prospects (based on 2024–25 trends)
700 and above Strong chance of preferred branch and institute
500–699 Good chances at most RTU-affiliated institutes
350–499 Moderate; options available in less-competitive branches
Below 350 Limited; may secure seats in newer or smaller affiliated institutes

Students without a GATE score may apply for Non-GATE seats (self-financed category) at select RTU-affiliated institutes, subject to seat availability and a separate merit list based on B.Tech percentage.


Branch-Wise Eligibility Criteria

The GATE paper you appeared in must correspond to your B.Tech discipline and the M.Tech specialisation you wish to apply for. The table below lists common M.Tech programmes at RTU-affiliated institutes with the required B.Tech branch and accepted GATE papers.

M.Tech Specialisation Required B.Tech Branch Accepted GATE Paper
Computer Science and Engineering CSE / IT CS (Computer Science and Information Technology)
Electronics and Communication Engineering ECE / EE / Electronics EC (Electronics and Communication Engineering)
Mechanical Engineering Mechanical / Production / Industrial Engineering ME (Mechanical Engineering) / PI (Production and Industrial Engineering)
Civil Engineering / Structural Engineering Civil Engineering CE (Civil Engineering)
Electrical Engineering / Power Systems EE / Power Systems / Instrumentation EE (Electrical Engineering) / IN (Instrumentation Engineering)
Chemical Engineering Chemical Engineering CH (Chemical Engineering)
VLSI Design ECE / EE EC (Electronics and Communication Engineering)
Information Technology CSE / IT CS (Computer Science and Information Technology)

Students should verify the exact GATE papers accepted for their chosen specialisation on the official RTU portal before applying, as additional papers may be permitted for specific programmes.
