I am in my final year of M.Tech Biotechnology from BIT Mesra. My course will complete in June, 2018. My marks till now is almost 86%. I am planning to take admission in Ph.D (Biotechnology) in January 2019 uptake. I would like to know what all should be my target for getting the admission on time? Qualification in GATE/GRE is mandatory? along with that should I qualify in TOEFL/IELTS? Kindly help me out. Thank you.
Hi Aakanksha,
It's always good to have a vision for your future aspirations! Appreciate your concern!
Your percentage is well above average requirement, so you are good on that (try to maintain or improve on it).
You will need a supporting GATE or GRE score. GATE being an easier and economical option would be a better choice.
Apart from that, if you have some extra-ordinary academic and cocurricular background then you can try for ASTAR fellowship as well (which doesn't require GATE or GRE).
IELTS/ TOEFL is not needed if your medium of study in 12th and Btech was english.
Hope it helps
All the best
