Though engineering is the IITs’ flagship course, students can also choose from a variety of other options. There are numerous speciality programmes, master’s and PhD studies available at 23 IITs around the country, and admission is available through national level exams such as GATE and CSIR-NET. There are also management courses available after passing the CAT. More than JEE Advanced, here are several other options for getting into an IIT.
Graduate Aptitude Test of Engineering (GATE)
The Indian Institute of Science (IISC) in Bangalore and seven IITs – Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, and Roorkee — jointly conduct this exam. Students who want to pursue a master’s or doctoral degree at an IIT can take the GATE exam. After passing this exam, a candidate can apply for MTech, combined MTech-PhD, and PhD programmes in engineering and related fields.
This exam covers a wide range of subjects, from basic sciences to engineering. Candidates can choose a discipline of their choice based on their undergraduate speciality. The exam is three hours long and consists of 65 multiple-choice questions.
Common Admission Test (CAT)
The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) primarily administer this online exam for entrance to their business administration programmes. The IITs, on the other hand, admit applicants to their management programmes based on their CAT results. Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Ability are the three sections of the test.
Council of Scientific & Industrial Research – National Eligibility Test (CSIR-NET)
The CSIR-NET offers research fellowships to candidates who desire to learn from faculty members or professionals from IITs, university departments, and national laboratories in a variety of subjects. Candidates who are awarded a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) are also considered for lectureships or assistant professorships.
