IIT

There are only 2 IITs that offer Nanotechnology courses in India at present. You can pursue those courses at the PG level. You can study Nanotechnology courses in IITs, like IIT Roorkee and IIT Madras, which offer M.Tech in Nanotechnology and M.Tech in Functional Materials and Nanotechnology, respectively. The Nanotechnology course fees at the IITs is around INR 20,000.

It will require a very high JEE Advanced rank to get admissions in an IIT. In the top IITs (e.g Bombay, Delhi) popular branches such as Computer Science Engineering (CSE) may require an All India Rank (AIR) of below 100-200 in the General category. In other faculty members and newer IITs ranks can go up to 10,000 or more depending upon the institute, course or degree. These cut offs vary every year depending on the difficulty level of the exam, applicants and seats.

To get into B.Sc Chemistry at an IIT, you must qualify JEE Advanced. For General category, a rank under 6000 is generally needed. Top IITs may require ranks within 1500–3000. For OBC, ranks up to 8000 may work, and for SC/ST, ranks up to 25,000–35,000 might be accepted.

Class 12 marks do not impact  into IIT admissions. But if you get 70 and above then there are more chances to be highlighted after GATE.  

Gate is given for Masters admission especially M.Tech . 

Gate score between 400 and 800 is required to get admission in IIT or NITs.

• IIT Madras 
• IIT Kharagpur 
• IIT Guwahati 
• NIT Surath Kal 

IIT Guwahati will set the GATE 2026 question paper. The GATE 2026 official website has been released along with the GOAPS portal, exam dates and information brochure. The GATE 2026 exam dates are February 7, 8, 14, and 15.

With 448 rank in JAM Chemistry, it may be hard to get pinnacle IITs like Bombay, Delhi, or Kanpur as they close at decrease ranks. But you've got appropriate possibilities in different IITs like Roorkee, Guwahati, or Kharagpur, where the remaining ranks are better.

These colleges additionally have right faculty and labs for Chemistry.

You need to follow in all rounds of counseling and hold checking for seat openings.

Also, do not forget NITs and IISERs, which offer strong MSc Chemistry courses. Choose a university that offers top studying and career help.

The Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati will be organising GATE 2026 question paper. IIT Guwahati last conducted GATE in 2018.
