Yes, you can take admission in M.Tech on mechanical engineering based on your PGCET qualified score in Karnataka.

Hi Narendra,
As a student of NIE, I know about NIE placements, it's really good and even in the previous academic years, your prescribed branch secured 100% placements.

Hi Pooja,
As per previous year cutoff you might get seat.
Don't leave it apply to NIE CS as the first preference then you may get seat.

It depends on your admission type along with the year.
And also, it depends upon the branches.
Please specify in which branch you are trying to get the seat? CS IS, EC, Civil, Mechanical, EE, IP.

Hi Suhas,
If you are trying K-CET please mention your category like GM,1AG, 2AG,3AG,3BG,SCG,STG because in seat allotment along with rank category matters a lot.
We can't tell you without knowing it.

In my opinion if you wants bright and calm future then start preparation for UPSC Civil services and IES exam because once you enter here you will get the time bond career promotions and other related benefits. While in private sectors you may got the more money but isolation and busy life which are the negative sides.

You can not go directly for Ph.D. Either you can go after Masters or can go for Masters+ Ph.D.

No, you can't go for Ph.D directly. You have to first complete your Master's degree, or you can do master's+ Ph.D programme. Good luck.

Please visit to BITs website, there you will find the links to Ph.D admission. You can read all the instructions.
And carryon with the process.
