Pillai College of Engineering accepts GATE scores for admission to M.Tech courses. To be eligible for admission to MTech, candidates are required to apply and appear for the entrance exam. Further for BTech and Phd course admission is based on the JEE Main, MHT CET and PET entrance exam score, respectively.

To get admission at IIIT Bangalore for M.Tech specialisations, the last round closing ranks were released for M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering and M.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering. The cutoff was released for different categories under the All India quota. For the General AI category, the cutoff for M.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering was 591 and for M.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering, it was 504. For candidates belonging to other categories, the cutoff was almost same as that of the General AI category. 

IIIT Bangalore GATE cutoff 2024 was concluded for admission to M.Tech specialisations. The available M.Tech speciallisations were Computer Science and Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering. Among the General AI category candidates, the cutoff for CSE (MTech) and ECE (MTech) were 591 and 504, respectively. Looking at the cutoff ranks, admission at 400 rank in GATE is possible for both the courses available. However, you should try to get MTech in CSE, as it has the tougher cutoff. 

Since the OBC qualifying cutoff is 35, it would be impossible for your gaining an M.Tech seat using GATE scholarship in biotechnology. Nevertheless, without a GATE, you might still get enrolled in a few special institutes and through self-sponsored programs or entrance exams conducted on their behalf. It is probably sensible to search for other paths of becoming admitted or wait till next year to attempt another crack at GATE.
