There are two ways to take admission for M.Tech. First one is through the GATE exam and second one is sponsored admission. Those who take admission for M.Tech. Through GATE exam, you will get stipend of INR12.4k. There is no stipend for sponsored M.Tech. Students. M.Tech.
For taking admission in IITs for M.Tech. Through GATE exam, you have to apply for each IIT individually. There will be interview after shortlisting and final selection is after interview. M.Tech. in NITs.
For taking admission in NITs for M.Tech through GATE exam, you have to go through the CCMT (Centralized Counselling for M.Tech) process. In this process you have to fill common option form for all NITs. There will be four rounds of admission and 4th round will be counseling round.

I have completed 2 years in NIT Uttarakhand. So, I can give you a brief idea about life of an average student at National Institute of Technology Uttarakhand. You will get a tag of NITian and you can participate in inter NIT competitions (both Sports and Technical). The faculty is good but most of them are Assistant Professors. Currently, they don't have any Associate Professors or Professor, some recruitment have been made this year maybe some Associate Professors might join the Mechanical Department. Being a newly established NIT not much has been done yet in the field of Research and Development but students are doing quite well. "Kalam Lab" body specifically working on the development of innovative ideas into a reality. Govind Vajpayee student of NIT UK has recently won the Inter NIT innovation challenge. Placements are not as good as it should be. Considering lack of resources and remote location of college. We are doing quite well in Placements and graph is increasing every year. Major Core and IT companies visit us every year. If you are looking for a huge campus then my friend NIT UK is not for you because their temporary campus is in government. Poly. Srinagar and it ends before it starts. Still, they don't have the permanent land allotment.

In Mumbai there are too many top college for Computer science and engineering from my personal knoweldege and from surroundings i have got the list of some Computer science and engineering (CSE) in mumbai
Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute.
Sardar Patel Institute of Technology.
K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering.
Amity University Panvel
Vidyalankar institute of technology
Thadomal Shahani College of Engineering.
Thakur College of Engneering.
Athrava College of Engineering.
Pillai college of Engineering.
MGM College of Engineering.
Terna Engineering College.
Rizvi College of Engineering.
A P Shah Institute of Technology.
Bhartiya Vidyapeet College of Engineering.
TSEC Mumbai.
These are the top 15 College For Computer science Engineering

At rank 40000, you will get some good colleges but you will have to compromise with the branches as you will get lower branches, but if you don't want to compromise and want to get upper branches or core branches then you will have to go for some lower colleges
The admission cutoffs are usually released by JoSAA on behalf of the colleges that are participating in the counseling process. According to the JoSAA given below are opening and closing ranks of some NITs ( open category only)
NIT Agartala
4,080- Opening rank
25,737- Closing rank
NIT Calicut
470- Opening rank
17,731- Closing rank
NIT Delhi
707- Opening rank
13,423- Closing rank
NIT Durgapur
7,376- Opening rank
21,206- Closing rank
NIT Goa
2,574- Opening rank
18,383 - Closing rank

After giving State Engineering Entrance exam and getting marks above cut off, you can go for counselling which generally starts after one month of result declaration there you will have options of locking seats in different colleges and in different branches and this Counselling generally goes up to 3 to 5 round including where you can free or float the option of locked college then after you will be called for document verification at the locked selected college or it may be any college nearby you. For getting into counseling you may have to pay registration fees which may or may not refundable, generally, it is not refundable. Finally after documents verification you will have to pay the semester fee or annual fees and then you are ready to start your engineering.

If your category rank (OBC Rank) is 3032, then the IITs available to you are:-
1] IIT Dhanbad - Geophysics (5 Y)
2] IIT BHU - Bio (5 Y)
3] IIT Kharagpur - Applied Geology (5 Y)
Unless you need the IIT Tag to flaunt in front of your relatives and unless you have some specific interest in these fields or unless you are planning to work hard to get a vertical branch transfer, go for NITs on the basis of your Mains rank or go for a drop. If your Open Rank is 3032, then you have a lot to choose from: - (The best options in no specific order, according to me are chosen as there are 50 and more branches open)
1] IIT Delhi Chemical (Dual Degree)
2] IIT Bombay Civil Engineering
3] IIT Madras Aerospace
4] IIT BHU Electrical Engineering
5] IIT Jodhpur Artificial Intelligence
6] IIT Guwahati Mechanical
7] IIT Bombay Metallurgical
8] IIT Bhubaneswar CS (5 Y) CS from all the newest IITs
9] IIT Indore Electrical Engineering
10] IIT Delhi Production Engineering
But if I were you, I had pick IITM Aerospace
PS - Data based on JEE 2020.

Automation and robotics engineering is interdisciplinary branch. One should have knowledge of mechanical engineering, electronics engineering and computer Science engineering. To automate any process one should have deep knowledge of that process and its variable parameters also control parameters. Mechanical engineering provides this knowledge. Now we need to measure this variable parameters to compute values of control parameters to achieve desired output from process. This is achieved with implementation of right sensors to measure variable parameters. And control system controls actuators to get desired outputs. (EnTC)
The values of output or control parameters is based on inputs or variable parameters. The relation between input and optput is given by programme. (CSE). .
