IIIT-B invites applications for admission to the M.Tech program for the academic year starting in 2009. The M.Tech degree is awarded upon successful completion of a 2-year, broad-based academic program in IT.
Eligibility
The minimum qualification for admission to any of the programs at iiit-b is a first-class four-year bachelor’s degree in engineering (i.e. B.E., B.Tech., or equivalent). Holders of an MSc in any of the physical sciences, or an MCA degree, can also apply. Final-year students expecting to graduate by August 2009 may also apply.
Working Professionals
Working professionals applying for the M.Tech. program must get leave for the duration of the program. Such applications have to be sent through the employer (or accompanied by a letter from a supervisor or other authorized representative of the employer stating that there is no objection to the applicant’s joining iiit-b as a student). Working students will also need sponsorship from the employer, or obtain support from other sources to meet their costs. Scholarships and other financial support are not available to working students.

Admission to the M.Tech. program is on the basis of prior academic performance (at the high school level and beyond), performance in the iiit-b’s online admissions test and an admission interview. Applicants with good scores in the GATE examination and GRE examination may be eligible for waiver of Entrance Examination (see below).
