International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore

Hi,

For M.Tech, both LNMIIT and IIIT Bangalore are strong options, but they offer different experiences:

• LNMIIT offers a 5-year integrated B.Tech + M.Tech program, with admissions via JEE Main.
• IIIT Bangalore offers a 2-year M.Tech in Computer Science, with a focus on research and industry connections, admitting through GATE scores.

IIIT Bangalore is renowned for its research opportunities and excellent placements in the tech sector. However, if you prefer a continuous academic journey, LNMIIT could be the better fit. Choose based on your career goals and preferences.

Good luck!

Both LNMIIT and IIIT Bangalore are good options to pursue MTech. However, in terms of affordability, LNMIIT is more affordable since the tuition fee to pursue M.Tech at LNMIIT is INR 3.87 lakh, and the tuition fee to pursue M.Tech at IIIT Bangalore is INR 9.20 lakh.

Note: The fee mentioned above is as per the official sources. However, it is indicative and subject to change.

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. 

For 2024, the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Bangalore offers 270 seats in its B.Tech/Integrated M.Tech program. The seat distribution includes 120 for Computer Science and Engineering, 30 for Electronics and Communication Engineering, and 60 for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Admission is based on the JEE Mains NTA CRL Rank and available seats, with selection occurring through online and campus rounds. The admissions committee has the authority to modify admission dates, cancel rounds, or introduce additional rounds as needed.

The admission process for the B.Tech programme at IIIT Bangalore relies on JEE Main scores and specific criteria. Candidates must achieve first-class in 10+2 with Mathematics and obtain at least 75% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) subjects. Applications are submitted online by the deadline, and each applicant is assigned an Internal Index Rank (IIR) based on their standing among peers. IIIT Bangalore also recognizes scores from exams like BITSAT and VITEEE. For the JEE Main 2024, the CSE cutoff was 2106, while the ECE cutoff was 3142, with exams held from January 24 to February 1, 2024.

Not alone will a JEE Main score above 75% in PCM subjects get the admission to IIIT Bangalore. The primary consideration of IIIT Bangalore for admission is the rank in the JEE Main, and the candidate must have to secure certain cutoff ranks according to his desired programs.
Also, the candidates should have qualification criteria, that is, they should have passed in their 10th and 12th grades with at least 60% marks on an average. So a good score would be good, but should be aligned with the cutoff ranks given by the institution for admitting students.
