Yeah, you can 😄
You can do M.Tech without GATE at many private universities. Thapar University, for example, allows non-GATE candidates through its own selection process (based on academics, sometimes a test/interview).
That said, GATE is needed if you want top government institutes (IITs, NITs) or a stipend.
No GATE = private universities like Thapar, VIT, SRM, etc.
So yes — totally possible, just depends on where you want to study.

Polaris attracts a highly competitive peer group through its Polaris Admission Test (PAT) and founder interviews, which filter for a "Builder Mindset." In 2025, the batch included students who left JEE coaching to pursue hands-on engineering, leading to a culture where 45% of the batch contributes to global Open Source. The peer group is geographically diverse (90% from outside Karnataka) and is deeply integrated with the Bangalore startup ecosystem through weekly fireside chats with CTOs and VCs.

Polaris is a better choice for students prioritizing ROI and modern tech stacks over a traditional "vacation-style" campus life. Traditional Tier-1/2 colleges (like VIT or Manipal) often follow a fixed 4-year theory-heavy curriculum. In contrast, Polaris students master the MERN Stack and AI/ML fundamentals in Year 1, enabling them to earn stipends of ₹1.8L to ₹2.5L as freshmen. The degree is officially recognised under Section 2 (f) of the UGC Act, 1956, ensuring it is legally equivalent to traditional degrees for UPSC, GATE, and MBA admissions.

Both are new-age schools, but Polaris offers a specific "Product Engineering" edge. Polaris achieved a national record in 2025 with 11 first-year students cracking Google Summer of Code (GSoC), demonstrating that its curriculum is geared toward global engineering benchmarks earlier than its peers. If your goal is to be an AI Architect or Founder, Polaris provides a $10,000 Seed Fund through the PST Tech Combinator and a founder-led mentorship model (backed by Classplus) that Newton's more interview prep-centric model differs from.
