Your profile is good and it can be considered. Being in reserved category, you can apply for all IITs. Your academic profile is great for an undergraduate. IITB,IITD,IITK,IITKgp,IITM,IITGw all should be tried. Also apply for AcSIR PhD program. Hope it helps Best wishes Sunil RE: GATE Advice to Low Scorers - bavithra - 03-22-2015 (03-22-2015, 12:56 PM)SunilNagpal Wrote:(03-22-2015, 05:21 AM)bavithra Wrote: i have cleared gate BT with AIR 521, gate score 459. is there good chance of getting seat in anna university, chennai or IIT madras? RE: Bavithra's quest:GATE Advice to Low Scorers - SunilNagpal - 03-22-2015 Hello Bavithra, You may continue with your job. After 2 years just apply for a PhD at NUS. If one applies using GATE/GRE qualification at NUS/Germany, he/she doesn't have to pay any fee. Average scholarship received is not less than INR 1 lakh per month. Avoid doing M.Tech from a regional college, especially when you have GATE qualification with you. If you want to go for M.Tech, you should pursue from an IIT. If you want to go for PhD in future, then better by-pass M.Tech and directly enroll for a PhD after your job experience (again, pursue it either from an IIT or NUS/Germany). Meanwhile ensure that you go for some conferences, present some posters, or get one or two research/review papers. Teaching is not the only option after PhD. You can get some administrative jobs in research firms, can become a scientist in CSIR labs/institutes (only if you pursue PhD from an institute of repute). Teaching being the safest route is finally taken up by most people. Jobs are there for PhD people, but they are often not in plenty (considering the large pool of PhDs graduating these days. Competition is stiff in job sector for PhDs, but deserving ones always get their share!). Hope it helps Best wishes Sunil RE: GATE Advice to Low Scorers - kmsri - 03-23-2015 Hello Mr Sunil I just came to know from Gate office that the total no of candidates in BT for this year is 8923. This kind of puts me in a 'touch and go' situation - My Percentile on this basis (my rank 452) is 94.93. This is surprising to me given the fact that the cut-off is almost the same as of 2014 (students appeared in 2014 10714). Based on your experience, could you tell me if this changes the admission scenario for me or I can still expect calls from IITs like M, KNP, KGP, G, H & Delhi. Also, what are your thoughts are ME Biotech offered by BITS ? Thank You Sri RE: kmsri's quest: GATE Advice to Low Scorers - SunilNagpal - 03-23-2015 (03-23-2015, 05:05 PM)kmsri Wrote: Hello Mr Sunil Hello Sri, IIT Bombay has already set the cut-off for GATE score as 400. If your score is above the given cut-off then IITB is in. As far as IIT Kanpur is concerned, it was 95 percentile and above during my time (no. of candidates appeared were more than 16000); but given the current scenario of very low footfall, let us expect a lenient cut-off from IITK as well. IIT Delhi has mentioned in it's prospectus that a minimum GATE score of 300 is mandatory for applying for PG/PhD. This keeps you in for IITD as well.For rest of the IITs, you will definitely get a call (atleast I'm nearly sure about it). IITD and IITB are the only two IITs that keep the cut-offs strict. Infact, IITD rarely takes more than 8 students for Masters (in my case only 4 students were taken). BITS pilani is the only BITS that I would recommend. But considering the fact that you can easily get into an IIT, I suggest you to focus on IITs and NUS. Hope it helps Best wishes Sunil RE: GATE Advice to Low Scorers - kmsri - 03-23-2015 Thank You Mr Sunil.. Sri RE: GATE Advice to Low Scorers - bavithra - 03-24-2015 thank you so much sir! that was really helpful.

RE: GATE Advice to Low Scorers - SunilNagpal - 03-25-2015 (03-25-2015, 01:48 AM)Trinanjan Wrote: hello sunil bhaiya Hello Trinanjan, Congrats for qualifying GATE! You may apply at IITB, IITD (Delhi often sets high GATE cut-offs but their prospectus says that a minimum score of 300 is mandatory, which means that you can apply at IITD), IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, (Hopefully IIT Kanpur), IIT Roorkee and IIT Madras. For a good PhD, do consider the AcSIR (CSIR labs' PhD program). And as you must have been aware that you are eligible to apply at NUS as well. So do apply at all these institutes/universities. Do let me know if you have any other query. Best wishes Sunil RE: GATE Advice to Low Scorers - Trinanjan - 03-25-2015 Thank you so much sunil bhaiya... I know that u have very good experiences regarding the admissions specially in IITs, I have read all your articles and it really motivated me. So can you please give me some interview tips and questions as this will be my first time? And I also lack a bit of confidence as my rank is not that good to get into an IIt |
