IIT Delhi M.Tech Power Electronics FAQs
Ques. What GATE paper and score is needed for M.Tech Power Electronics at IIT Delhi?
Ans. The GATE 2026 EE (Electrical Engineering) paper is required for M.Tech Power Electronics and Machine Drives at IIT Delhi. Candidates must score above the qualifying mark, generally 300 or higher for General/OBC/EWS and 200 or above for SC/ST/PwD. The competitive cut-off in practice is higher. IIT B.Tech graduates with CGPA 8.0 can apply through COAP without GATE. Checking previous year COAP cut-off data for this programme provides a realistic benchmark for the score required.
Ques. What are the career options after M.Tech Power Electronics from IIT Delhi?
Ans. Graduates find roles in the electric vehicle sector, power grid companies, industrial automation, and renewable energy firms. Companies such as ABB, Siemens, Tata Power, Schneider Electric, and EV startups regularly hire power electronics specialists. Some graduates join government research organisations such as CPRI, BHEL R&D, or DRDO. A portion of each batch also pursues PhD programmes at IITs, IISc, or abroad to build on their M.Tech thesis work in advanced power electronics topics.
Ques. Do M.Tech students at IIT Delhi receive a monthly stipend through GATE?
Ans. Yes. GATE-qualified M.Tech students at IIT Delhi are appointed as Teaching Assistants and receive INR 12,400 per month throughout the 2-year programme.

Ques. What is the seat intake for M.Tech Power Electronics and Machine Drives at IIT Delhi?
Ans. The IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering department offers M.Tech in Power Engineering, which includes Power Electronics and Machine Drives, with around 44 seats in the power engineering area. The exact number of COAP seats available each year depends on the published seat matrix before each COAP cycle. The seat matrix for COAP 2026 was published on the official portal before Round 1 allotment. Candidates should refer to the official COAP seat matrix for the most accurate and current seat count.
Ques. What topics are covered in M.Tech Power Electronics curriculum at IIT Delhi?
Ans. The curriculum covers power electronic converter topologies, electric machine modelling and control, power quality, motor drive systems, and emerging applications in electric vehicles and grid-connected renewable energy systems. Students choose electives from IIT Delhi’s Electrical Engineering and interdisciplinary departments and complete a thesis project in the second year. Research areas include multilevel inverters, battery management, and high-frequency power conversion for modern energy systems and smart grid applications.
Ques. How does the COAP process work for IIT Delhi M.Tech admissions?
Ans. COAP (Common Offer Acceptance Portal) is coordinated by IIT Roorkee and allows GATE-qualified candidates to apply to multiple IITs through a single platform. After GATE 2026 results, candidates register on COAP and list their programme and institute preferences. Seat offers are released in multiple rounds from May to July. Candidates must accept or decline within the window for each round. Accepted candidates pay the confirmation fee to secure the seat at IIT Delhi for the August 2026 session.
