Yes, you can apply for an M.Tech programme at DTU (Delhi Technological University) without a GATE score, although there are few options available. DTU largely evaluates GATE scores for admission to M.Tech courses, giving this exam a high priority. However, in some situations, admission may be feasible for sponsored candidates (those with suitable job experience) or under specified quotas, such as foreign nationals or NRI candidates. These applicants are frequently required to pass interviews or written tests administered by the university. Furthermore, certain seats may be available through lateral entry programs or university-level entrance tests, albeit these are less prevalent. It is recommended that you visit the official DTU website to find out the most recent admissions standards.

The IIT Delhi M.Tech course is offered across different specialisations. IIT Delhi M.Tech admission is done based on the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) score.
