Norms used for shortlisting candidates in EE Department

Note:

UG% means the percentage marks scored in your 4 year UG programme, taking all semesters into account, rounded up. We compute this from the marks entered semester wise by you.
PG% means the percentage marks scored in your 2 year PG programme, taking all semesters into account, rounded up. We compute this from the marks entered semester wise by you.
GS means the Gate Score (out of 1000) obtained in your Gate exam, rounded up. Note that the score should be valid, i.e., the exam should have been taken in 2008 or 2009.

Candidates applying for the MS Programme

Both a UG degree and Gate score are required.

Regular, General-Category Candidates

We are looking for candidates with 65% in their UG and 450 gate score. However, a very good score in one can offset a poor score in the other (eg: UG%>75 and GS of 400), as follows:

UG% >= 60
GS >= 400
(UG%-65)+(GS - 450)/5 > 0

Regular, Reserved-Category Candidates

We are looking for candidates with 60% in their UG and 425 gate score. However, a very good score in one can offset a poor score in the other (eg: UG%>70 and GS of 375), as follows:

UG% >= 60
GS >= 350
(UG%-60)+(GS - 425)/5 > 0

External/Part-time Candidates

Minimum of two years post-qualifying degree work experience
General category applicants: UG% >= 65
Reserved category applicants: UG% >= 60
Gate qualification is not required.

Candidates applying for the PhD Programme

A PG Degree is a must. Gate is optional.

Regular, General-Category Candidates

We are looking for candidates with 65% in their UG and 70% in their PG. However, a very good score in one of UG%, PG% or GS can offset a poor score in one of these (eg: PG%>75 and UG%>60), as follows:

UG% >= 60
PG% >= 65
(PG% -70) + (UG% - 65) > 0
OR
(PG%-70) + (UG% - 65) +(GS-400)/5 > 0

Regular, Reserved-Category Candidates

We are looking for candidates with 60% in their UG and 65% in their PG. However, a good gate score score can offset a poor score in the other (eg: PG%=60 and GS>375), as follows:

UG% >= 60
PG% >= 60
(PG%>65)
OR
(PG%-65) + (GS - 350)/5 > 0

External/Part-time Candidates

Minimum of two years post-qualifying degree work experience
General category applicants: UG% >= 65, PG% >= 70
Reserved category applicants: UG% >= 60, PG% >= 65
Gate qualification is not required.

Note: In addition the following types of application are handled on a case by case basis:

University rank holders (ranks 1 to 10)
Appicants from IITs with high CGPA (above 8.0 for general category students, and above 7.5 for reserved category students)
Applicants who submit GRE instead of GATE scores

Note: Even if applicants with GRE scores are accepted into the research programmes in the department, please note that they are not eligible for financial support. However, a student with GRE who has been admitted to the programme can clear GATE at a later date and will then be eligible for teaching and research assistantships.
