GATE

Yes, it is possible to get admission to the LNM Institute of Information Technology M.Tech programme without a valid GATE score. Those who have not appeared for GATE or do not meet the institute's GATE cutoff can apply via CUET PG scores. If students have not taken CUET PG, then they can apply via qualifying exam marks or appear for the institute's written test. 

Yes, even if you have less than 60% in your B.Tech, you can still get admission to an M.Tech programme in IITs or NITs by qualifying the GATE exam, as the primary selection criteria for M.Tech admissions in these institutes is your GATE score, not just your B.Tech percentage; however, some institutes might have a minimum percentage requirement which you should check before applying.

GATE is the deciding factor:Your GATE score will be the most important factor in determining your admission to an M.Tech programme in IITs and NITs. 

MTech Admission is done based on an entrance exam such as GATE, OJEE, UPSEE and TANCET. To be eligible for seeking admission to the M.Tech course, candidates must have successfully completed an undergraduate degree in a relevant field. Top M.Tech colleges include IITs and NITs. Fee should be maximum INR 10 lacs and minimum INR 64,000 in IIT.

Candidates seeking admission to get into GIET Engineering College must acquire a cutoff of 355 score for the MTech in VLSI course for General category students in the AI quota,  to make you eligible for the admission to GIET Engineering College. 

Refer to the table below for more information:

GIET Engineering College offers M.Tech course based on GATE scores. As per the GATE last-round cut off, the closing ranks needed to get into the only available course, which is M.Tech in VLSI And Embedded Systems, stood at 355. So, 350 is so close to the cutoff but still you won't be able to get the admission at GIET Engineering College.

Candidates can add the two-paper combination option at the time of filling the GATE application form. Candidates will be allowed to opt for at least two papers - One primary and one secondary subject. 

If you are an IIT graduate with a BTech degree in Communications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Electronics and Communication Engineering and have an overall CGPA of 8 and above or more than 75% marks, you can get direct admission for M.Tech Communications Engineering.

Not all IITs offer this exemption so you need to check at their official website to confirm the same. IIT Delhi does offer this option to IIT graduates. Having said that, rest of the candidates must have a valid GATE score for admission to M.Tech Communications Engineering at the top IITs in India.
