Chandigarh University considers a valid GATE score only for fellowship purposes, not for admission, and generally the score of the most recent GATE exam is preferred for evaluation. If you are appearing for GATE 2026, that score can be submitted after results are declared for fellowship consideration. Older GATE scores are not used to provide admission priority. Since admission is granted based on graduation eligibility, students do not need to rely on any specific GATE year score to secure a seat. Students who are not appearing for GATE 2026 can apply without any concern regarding GATE score validity. The relevance of the GATE year ap

No, Chandigarh University does not require a valid GATE exam 2026 score for all M.E. specialisations. GATE is not compulsory admission into any M.E. programme offered by the university, regardless of the specialisation. Admission eligibility is determined primarily by the candidate's academic background, including a relevant bachelor's degree in engineering and a minimum of 55% marks. This applies uniformly across core, advanced, and interdisciplinary M.E. programs. A valid GATE score becomes relevant only if a student wishes to apply for the GATE fellowship, which offers financial assistance. Even in that case, the fellowship is limit

Yes, a low GATE Exam 2026 score does not restrict admission at Chandigarh University. Admission to M.E. programs is primarily based on eligibility criteria, not GATE cut-offs. As long as a student has the required academic qualification and minimum percentage in their undergraduate degree, admission remains possible. However, a low GATE score may impact eligibility for the GATE fellowship, which is awarded only to meritorious candidates and limited to a certain percentage of seats. Even then, students with low or no GATE scores can still pursue M.E. through regular admission routes and may explore scholarships based on graduation marks

Chandigarh University does not use GATE scores from previous years for admission decisions, as GATE does not provide admission priority. For fellowship purposes, the university generally considers the most recent valid GATE score, such as GATE 2026, subject to merit and availability. Previous-year scores are not used to secure or influence admission. Students who are not appearing for GATE 2026 or who hold older GATE scores can still pursue M.E. programs without any disadvantage. Admission remains strictly graduation-based, keeping the process simple and transparent for all the applicants.

Yes, Chandigarh University can offer admission to top M.E. branches even if a student has a moderate GATE Exam 2026 score. This is because GATE is not the deciding factor for admission. Admission is primarily based on whether the student meets the academic eligibility criteria, such as holding a relevant bachelor's degree with at least 55% marks. A moderate GATE score does not restrict branch selection. Students can apply to popular specialisations like Computer Science, Electrical, ECE, or Civil Engineering as long as they satisfy eligibility norms and seat availability. The GATE score mainly influences fellowship allocation, not bran

You are still eligible for M.Tech admission at SIT Pune without GATE score. In this case, you will have to take an entrance test followed by a personal interview round. Based on the combined score of entrance exam and personal interview, you will get admission.

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.
