GATE is Non-Negotiable
All 55 seats are filled through GATE-based admission only. There is no direct entry or management quota. If you don’t have a valid GATE score, this program is locked.
The verdict
Strong fit
If you have a CS background and a solid GATE score, this is one of India's best ROI bets. Placements are elite, fees are negligible, and the mandatory thesis builds depth that actually helps in a post-AI job market. Only skip if you want a coursework-only PG degree or cannot commit to GATE prep.
