About MIT M.Tech

Madras Institute of Technology (MIT), a campus of Anna University in Chromepet, Chennai, offers a two-year, full-time M.Tech in two specialisations, Information Technology and Rubber Technology, with 24 seats in all. Half the seats go to GATE holders and half to CEETA-PG takers, through Anna University's CEAP counselling. Both are self-supporting courses, so the full fee without hostel is INR 1,59,660 on a CEETA-PG seat, the same for both. MIT does not publish a closing score for either. Anna University's two-year PG students had a median pay of INR 6 LPA in 2025, and 45% of the batch was placed.

Which M.Tech specialisation should you pick at MIT?

Specialisation
M.Tech in Information Technology
12 seats: 6 for GATE, 6 for CEETA-PG. INR 1,59,660 for two years on a CEETA-PG seat.
Pick it if:
You like building software: semester 1 has Full Stack Technologies and Advanced Data Structures, each with three lab hours a week.
You want the skills software firms test for: the course teaches machine learning and information security, with lab electives such as Deep Learning and Blockchain.
You hold a GATE score in the CS paper: 6 of the 12 seats go to GATE holders first, and seats they leave pass to CEETA-PG.
Skip it if:
You want placement figures for this course before you join: the IT department has no placement page, and the only pay figure is a median for all Anna University PG.
You want classes in the final semester: semester 4 is one full-time project worth 12 credits, with no classes at all.
Your first degree is Mechanical or Chemical: this course takes only computing, IT, electronics and AI graduates.
M.Tech in Rubber Technology
12 seats: 6 for GATE, 6 for CEETA-PG. INR 1,59,660 for two years on a CEETA-PG seat.
Pick it if:
You want a job in the tyre and rubber industry: MRF is based in Chennai, and the department's recent recruiters include MRF, CEAT, BKT and Apollo.
Your first degree is Mechanical, Chemical or Polymer: this course takes these graduates and M.Sc Chemistry holders, which the IT course does not.
You like lab and design work: year 1 has a CAD and Modelling lab, a Rubber Technology lab and a Product Design and Simulations lab.
Skip it if:
You expect software pay: the department's best offers in 2025-26 were INR 6.2 LPA from MRF and INR 5.5 LPA from CEAT.
You want a large batch: only 12 students join each year, so your class is small.
Counsellor's advice
If you hold a GATE score, apply in the GATE list first, since its seats are allotted before CEETA-PG. If you do not, write CEETA-PG and list only the specialisation your first degree allows; the two take different branches, so you cannot choose between them.
M.Tech Eligibility▾
Degree marks: A B.E. or B.Tech pass with 50%. Tamil Nadu BC, BCM, MBC, SC, SCA and ST candidates need 45%.
Branch rule, Information Technology: B.E. or B.Tech in CSE, IT, ECE, AI and Data Science, AI and ML, Software Engineering or Cyber Security.
Branch rule, Rubber Technology: B.E. or B.Tech in Mechanical, Chemical, Production, Polymer, Rubber and Plastics, Automobile, Metallurgy or Petroleum, or an M.Sc in Chemistry or Polymer Science.
Exam, GATE seats: A valid GATE score in a paper that matches your degree, above the floor for your community.
Exam, other seats: A CEETA-PG score from Anna University's own entrance test.
Other route: AMIE with two years of work after it also counts.
M.Tech Admission Process▾
Write GATE or CEETA-PG: GATE is in February and CEETA-PG in May. You can write both and keep the better route.
Register for CEAP: Anna University's one counselling for M.E. and M.Tech seats. The GATE list is allotted first, then the CEETA-PG list.
Fill your choices: Put the MIT specialisation your degree allows in your order of choices. Your order decides which seat you get.
Confirm and report: Accept the seat online, then report at MIT with originals and the first semester fee.
Upward movement: A later round can move you to a higher choice. Report again if it does, or you lose that seat.

In short
VIT Vellore pays more and places more, but its lowest M.Tech fee is nearly double MIT's. If cost decides it, MIT is the better deal; if you want more course choices, VIT has 16.
In short
SRM places almost every PG student but at a lower median pay, for about twice MIT's fee. If you want a government-college fee, pick MIT; if you want 38 course choices, SRM has them.
In short
Amrita costs more than twice as much, and its median pay and placement rate sit close to Anna University's. If you want the same outcome for less money, pick MIT.

FAQs on Madras Institute of Technology M.Tech

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

How do I get admission to M.Tech at MIT?▾
Write GATE or Anna University's CEETA-PG, then register for CEAP counselling. GATE holders are allotted first, to 6 of the 12 seats in each specialisation. CEETA-PG takers fill the rest in rank order. Report at MIT with your originals and the first fee.
Is the fee the same for both specialisations?▾
Yes. Both are self-supporting courses, so the full 2-year fee is INR 1,59,660 without hostel on a CEETA-PG seat in either one. A GATE seat costs INR 1,39,660. Hostel adds INR 77,200 a year, and mess is extra.
Which specialisation can I apply for with my B.E. branch?▾
Information Technology takes CSE, IT, ECE, AI and Software graduates. Rubber Technology takes Mechanical, Chemical, Production, Polymer and similar branches, and M.Sc Chemistry holders. No B.E. branch is on both lists.
What score do I need for a seat?▾
MIT does not publish the last GATE percentile or CEETA-PG rank that got a seat. You must clear the GATE floor for your paper and community, such as 30 for OC in the CS paper in 2026. With only 6 seats of each kind, aim well above the floor.
Do M.Tech students get placed from MIT?▾
MIT publishes no M.Tech pay figure. Anna University's two-year PG students had a median pay of INR 6 LPA in 2025, and 45% of them were placed. The Rubber department lists recruiters such as MRF, CEAT and BKT.
Can I get paid while I study?▾
The MIT PG Assistantship pays INR 6,000 a month for 8 to 10 hours of lab or teaching work a week. You keep it in year 2 only with no arrears. GATE holders can also ask whether the AICTE scholarship of INR 12,400 a month covers these seats.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. The fee is paid semester by semester. The first payment of INR 53,560 covers the one-time fees, the deposit and semester 1, and each later semester costs INR 37,700 on a CEETA-PG seat.
