Hello Student,

You will have tough chances through JOSAA counselling, yet there are chances through  West Bengal State Counselling

Hello Rajendra,

As you have scored 353 in Gate 2024, this signifies that you had done a great hard work for this entrance, and thus qualified GATE 24' successfully. But, getting into top NITs for pursuing your M.Tech in Computer Science with this score finds difficult for general candidates. Though, I would suggest you to wait till Round 4 of the counselling for NIT(Patna) for M.Tech in Data Science

Though, you can find your chances of getting a good college across India like IIITs, NSUT, etc for your master's degree in CS and other related branches like Artificial Intelligence & Data Science, by clicking on the link down below:

Hope this helps!

Hi,

With your BTech degree percentage of 84 and a GATE score of 301, along with your SC category, you have a chance to secure admission in MTech programs at some IITs, but it may not be assured in the top-ranking ones due to intense competition.

However, admissions also depend on various factors such as the number of seats available, the specific department and program you're applying to, and the preferences of the particular IIT you're interested in. Some IITs may consider your application favorably based on your category and GATE score.

Considering your GATE score of 301 and SC category, here are a few IITs and MTech courses where you might have a chance of admission:

  1. IIT Delhi:

    • MTech in Electrical Engineering
    • MTech in Mechanical Engineering
    • MTech in Civil Engineering

  2. IIT Bombay:

    • MTech in Computer Science and Engineering
    • MTech in Electrical Engineering

  3. IIT Madras:

    • MTech in Aerospace Engineering
    • MTech in Chemical Engineering
    • MTech in Biotechnology

  4. IIT Kanpur:

    • MTech in Aerospace Engineering
    • MTech in Materials Science and Engineering

It's advisable to check the respective IITs' official websites for detailed information on MTech admissions, including eligibility criteria, seat matrix, and admission procedure.

Consider using the GATE College Predictor tool provided below to get more specific information.

Regarding SSC JE (Staff Selection Commission Junior Engineer) and SSC CGL (Combined Graduate Level) examinations:

SSC JE is conducted for recruitment to the posts of Junior Engineers in various government departments, whereas SSC CGL is conducted for recruitment to Group B and C posts in various ministries, departments, and organizations of the Government of India.

For both examinations, eligibility criteria vary depending on the specific posts and departments. Generally, a bachelor's degree in engineering is required for SSC JE, while for SSC CGL, a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university is required.

As an SC candidate, you may have certain relaxations in terms of age limits and qualifying marks in these examinations.

For detailed information on eligibility criteria, exam pattern, syllabus, and application procedures, you should refer to the official websites of SSC (Staff Selection Commission).


Thank You

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can definitely cope up both the arenas if you keep in mind that time management and consistency are the key. Afterall, this is the very way to success.

Being a final year B.Tech student, balancing your MERN stack coaching along with GATE 2025 Preparations can be challenging in real, but I want to share some tips to help you manage both:

  1. Create a realistic schedule where you must prioritize your Gate Preparations since it's a crucial exam. Set aside specific 1 hour for MERN stack coaching as you have decided yourself.
  2. TIME  BLOCKING : Divide your day into blocks for different activities (coaching, Gate, self study, breaks). Don't do Multitasking in between coaching and Gate Topics within the same hour.
  3. Utilize your weekends , here you can revise your MERN stack concepts and some part of the time for intensive Gate preparation.
  4. Solve GATE-related problems regularly .
  5. GATE MOCK TESTS : This is important for your self assessment. Analyze your results in it.
  6. Stay Healthy
