M.Tech. in Bioengineering 

at IISc Bangalore, CV Raman Road

The GATE rank might vary every year. It is advised to visit the official website, i.e., IISC Bangalore before applying for the course. However, to have a better understanding to GATE rank requirement, students can check the table presnted below:

Departments /Programmes	Selection procedure
Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Materials	100% GATE score (Tie Breaker: Performance in the qualifying examination)
Bioengineering, Climate and Earth Sciences, Electrical, Electronics and Communication, Electronic Product Design, Electronic Systems, Instrumentation Systems, Mechanical, Microelectronics and VLSI Design, Mobility, Semiconductor Technology, Quantum Technology, Robotics & Autonomous Systems, Signal Processing and Smart Manufacturing	70% GATE score + 30% performance in interview
Artificial Intelligence, CSE	70% GATE score + 30% performance in written test
Computational & Data Sciences	70% GATE score + 30% performance in written test and interview

No, candidate who are looking for admission at IISC Bangalore need to have a valid GATE score. However, 70% GATE score + 30% performance in written test (100% GATE based for Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Materials Engg.) + COAP counselling will be accepted. Apart from this, students might face some problems while downloading the GATE hall ticket 2024. The problem might be due to slow internet connectivity or a heavy load on the server. In such situations, candidates should try downloading the admit card after a short duration. In case any candidate forgets their application ID/Enrollment ID or password, they can reset it. In case a candidate has forgotten their password, they can reset it from the GOAPS portal. 

The preparation for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) involves systematically mastering the technical subjects, practising mock tests, understanding the level of an exam, enhancing problem-solving skills, etc. Hence, a well-planned strategy, self-assessment, and dedication can improve the performance of the candidate preparing for this exam. This is a high time for the preparation for GATE exam. Since, stress, anxiety, and fatigue may cause or impact preparation and performance in the exam. So, proper planning, preparation, etc. play a significant role in the success of a candidate.

All the MTech specialisations available at the campus of IISc Bangalore are tabulated below:

A total of 653 seats are available for M.Tech at IISC Bangalore. However, majority of setas are reserved for Division of Electrical, Electronics, and Computer Science (EECS), Indian Institute of Science, i.e., 85. For detailed, students can check the table presented below:

Institutes	Seats
Indian Institute of Science	541
Division of Mechanical Sciences, Indian Institute of Science	27
Division of Electrical, Electronics, and Computer Science (EECS), Indian Institute of Science	85

IISc Bangalore admission is competitive due to high cutoff and limited seats. The entrance tests required for getting admission in the institute are taken by many. Hence, the chances of securing seat becomes less. Students are required to perform well in the entrance exam required for their course to get admission in the institute. In 2024, the JEE Main closing R1 cutoff for General category candidates was 903 for BSc (Research) in Physics.

Candidates who want IISc Bangalore admissions need to clear the entrance exams as the admissions to the institute is entrance based. Also, candidates should clear the basic eligibility criteria. The entrance exams accepted by Indian Institute of Science Bangalore include KVPY/ JEE Main/ JEE Advanced/ NEET UG/ IIT JAM/ GATE/ UCEED/ CAT/GMAT, etc. Additionally, the mode of application at IISC Bangalore is online.
