CUSAT MTech Admission

Admission to CUSAT MTech program is primarily based on GATE exam scores. Candidates with no GATE scores undergo Department Aptitude Test (DAT) in case there are still seats left vacant. In the case of admission to M Tech Programs, wherever there is a tie in the GATE Score/DAT Score the marks obtained in the qualifying examination will be considered as tie-breaker.
