GATE is not mandatory for all MTech colleges in Hyderabad. While top government colleges and NITs require a valid GATE score, many private colleges in Hyderabad accept TS PGECET scores or offer direct admission based on BTech marks and personal interviews. However, having a good GATE score gives you access to better colleges, lower fees, and the added benefit of a government stipend during the course. So while it is not compulsory everywhere, cracking GATE is always the smarter move.

LPU do not actually prescribe one fixed JEE Main rank for admission. For most B.Tech programs it's usually about meeting the eligibility criteria in Class 12 and then qualifying through either JEE Main or LPUNEST, like that. So you can apply without having a specific All India Rank in your pocket. That said, a stronger JEE Main percentile can still matter, because it helps with scholarships, and the most in-demand branches such as CSE might get filled faster based on demand. Therefore, if you meet the eligibility requirements, it's a good idea to put in your application as early as possible.
