With a GATE score of 700/1000 in Computer Science Engineering (CSE), you have a strong chance of securing admission to IITs for M.Tech programs, depending on the specific department and programme requirements. Past cutoffs for CSE in IITs, such as IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, and IIT Delhi, generally range from 750–820 for general category students. However, mid-tier IITs or interdisciplinary programs might accept scores around 700. Apply through COAP for seat allocation.

The IIT JAM exam for admission to M.Sc. programs generally has subject-specific eligibility criteria. For example, if you are applying for the M.Sc. in Biological Sciences or other related fields, having a background in Botany should make you eligible, even if Chemistry is not a subsidiary subject.
