Hi Ansh,

GATE score is not a necessary requirement for PhD entry into IITs. PhD admissions are undertaken two times a year: one for the July-Dec semester and the other for the Jan-May semester. There are generally two steps for PhD admissions :

1. You have to apply individually to every IIT on their website. Once you apply, they will generate a shortlist based on the applications and their number of requirements.
2. The shortlisted candidates will be called for Written Test/ Interview at the respective IITs.

Once you qualify both of the above steps, you will be asked for guide preference and your area of interest. If the vacancies and the interests match, you will get the admission.

Returning to your question, there is a direct PhD program that allows you to do Pht with GATE Score.

For the IIT Kanpur Gate Score > 720 ( with excellent academics) and GATE Score >750 (with good academics )

Note: The cutoff varies every year with a +-(20 ).Considering the fact that the number of seats in PhD changes depending upon the availability of vacancies under a professor, sponsored projects, the cutoff does not maintain a regular trend.

Hope this information was useful for you.

All the best.

Sorry to say but with this score you can't get IIT kanpur in ec department. You can apply for state government universities like jadavpur,Chandigarh university.If you don't get state government universities then you can apply for private universities like bit SRM kit etc. Best of luck.

hi,

THE gate score criteria for ms in comparatively low with respect to mtech. remember ms is 3 years course duration. and ms programme has less of course work and maximum credits is given to thesis work. your score is in boarder line. and cut off score varies year to year. you may also apply in iit guwahati, jodhpur, roorkee also. best of luck.

Hi Manu,

It is Possible but there's no ECE Program in IIT, Kanpur and if you have any doubts here's the link you can check

Hope it helps.

Hi Manu,

Yes there's Possibility to get IIT Kanpur and Kharagpur and Here's the link you can check

Note: There's no ECE Program in IIT, Khanpur but there's EE Program ( in that Microelectronics & VLSI is there)

Hi Manu,

Yes, You can get with that Score and Here's the link you can check

Hii Ansh, if you have done M.Tech then you don't need your GATE score. According to IIT Kanpur website you must score a minimum score of 65% in your masters and then you can apply for a written test held twice a year. You will be shortlisted for an interview on the basis of this test.

If you have done B.tech and want an admission then your GATE score will be required.There is no fixed GATE score for the IITs as they consider your B.tech score as well, a great B.tech score and a decent GATE score is equivalent to an excellent GATE score and a decent B.tech score, so I have mentioned below the average GATE score required for different IITs. The cutoffs are as follows-

• For new IITs like Jodhpur and Indore an average score of 450+ would be enough with excellent academics.
• For IITs like Hyderabad, Bhubaneshwar, Guwahati a score of 640+ [excellent academics] and 690+ [decent academics] would do.
• For the old and famous IITs like IIT Kanpur, Kharagpur a GATE score of 720+ [excellent academics] and 750+[decent academics] would be required.

I hope this would have helped you. All the best!

Hii Ranjith Kumar,

The final cut off for IIT's depends on the 

• Difficulty level of JEE advanced 
• Number of candidates appeared for entrance exam
• Number of candidates applied for program
• Previous year cut off marks
• Availability of seats in IIT's

Aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur is one of the best stream and has good scope.As you are from SC category you may get .

Thank you.
