NOTES RELATING MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

(i) Candidates appearing in the Final Year of the Qualifying Examination may also apply and appear in the Entrance Test. However, the candidate will be required to produce the original marksheet of the qualifying examination at the time of counseling for getting admission. Further, the candidates who are called for counseling for provisional admission in a course, but their results of the qualifying examinations are not declared till the date of their counseling, may be allowed to take conditional admission in the course provided:
(a) They produce a certificate from the competent authority (such as Controller of Examination, Registrar etc.) to the effect that the result of the concerned qualifying examination has not yet been declared.
(b) It is evident from the mark sheets(s) of the previous examination(s) relating to the course of qualifying degree that the candidate has secured at least stipulated minimum percentage of aggregate marks (for example 50%) in the previous examination(s) (except final examination whose result has not been declared upto time of counseling) of the qualifying degree (This will not be necessary for SC/ST candidates).
(c) The candidate gives an undertaking that he/she will submit the mark sheet of the qualifying examination on or before 14th August of the admission year and if he/she fails to submit the original mark sheet on or before 14th August of the admission year, his/her conditional admission in the course shall automatically stand cancelled and the candidate will not claim for refund of fees paid for conditional admission. This relaxation is not applicable for supplementary examinations/ revaluation results.
Further, if his/her aggregate percentage of marks in the qualifying examination is below the stipulated minimum percentage of aggregate marks, his/her conditional admission will also stand automatically cancelled and the candidate will not claim for refund of fees.
(ii) Candidates who were admitted as regular students to any course of study in this University through Entrance Test in earlier years(s) and who were eligible for appearing in the concerned Examination shall not be allowed to re-appear in the Entrance Test for admission in the same Course, unless specifically permitted by the Ordinance of the concerned Faculty. Further, such candidates who were not eligible for appearing in the concerned examination due to shortage of attendance or not filling the examination form in time will be allowed to appear in the Entrance Test for that course if otherwise eligible.
(iii) If the applicant has passed the qualifying Exam where grades are awarded and:
(a) where the Grade Sheet does not mention the equivalent percentage of marks from grade points, the candidate should submit such a Certificate of conversion from the concerned Institution mentioning either the converted percentage, or the formula for the actual conversion of grade point average to percentage of marks.
(b) where the Grade Sheet itself mentions the equivalent percentage of marks from grade points, or the formula for such conversion, the candidate should get both sides of the Degree/Grade Sheet photocopied showing the equivalent percentage of marks/conversion formula.
(iv) “Aggregate percentage of marks” will not include grace marks awarded to a candidate. It will also not include the marks of those subjects where only pass marks are required such as compulsory language compulsory environmental studies etc. and which do not contribute to the total in the final (degree) marksheet. Similarly the marks of additional subject (if any) for improvement of aggregate percentage/division will not be considered for calculating the aggregate percentage for admission in the University. For further clarification see clause “Notes relating minimum eligibility requirements” serial (v) given below.
(v) The percentage of marks in the aggregate will be computed as evidenced from the final mark sheet of the qualifying examination. However in case of graduate examinations, where the final mark sheet is of two or more types based on only Honours subject or all the subjects studied in three years, the aggregate shall be computed on the basis of total marks secured in all the subjects studied in three years. For example, in case of students passing BA (Hons.)/B.Sc. (Hons.) from BHU, in earlier years the final marksheets were of two types viz based on only 1000 marks or on 1800 marks. In such cases, the aggregate shall be computed based on total of 1800 marks rather than on 1000 marks. Further, where final marksheet is based on only Hons subject but the candidate has studied other subsidiary/similar subjects also during the study of course, the marks of these subjects will also be included for computation of aggregate percentage. Still further, in case of any ambiguity/interpretational difficulties, the decision of the University will be final.
(vi) (a) Degrees/Certificates recognized by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) shall only be deemed as equivalent degrees/certificates.
(b) The Distance Education Council of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)/Association of Indian Universities (AIU) is the only authority to recognise the Degrees/Certificates of Distance Education.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Prospectus of Studies regarding the Courses in which admission is made through Entrance Test, the eligibility requirement for the purpose of admission shall be only those which are mentioned in the Information Bulletin of the academic session concerned.
(viii) Application Forms of candidates who have submitted forged/fake certificates or adopted fraudulent means shall be REJECTED. Further, such candidates shall be debarred from appearing in any subsequent Entrance Tests conducted by BHU.
(ix) Candidates are allowed to appear at the Entrance Tests provisionally subject to the final verification of Mark sheets/Degrees/Certificates, validity of Certificates/Mark sheets of Qualifying Examination and also of non-involvement in the adoption of unfair means in any of the University Examination/Entrance Tests held earlier, at the time of admission.
(x) Mere appearance in the Entrance Test, or securing pass marks at the written Test does not entitle a candidate to be considered for admission to the Course unless he/she fulfils the eligibility conditions. APPLICANTS MUST FULLY SATISFY THEMSELVES ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY AS PRESCRIBED ABOVE, BEFORE FILLING IN THE APPLICATION FORM.
(xi) If an applicant is inadvertently allowed to appear at the Entrance Test who otherwise does not fulfill the minimum eligibility requirements, he/she cannot, at a later date, use that as a right to claim that he/she meets the eligibility requirements.

NOTES RELATING MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
(i) Candidates appearing in the Final Year of the Qualifying Examination may also apply and appear in the Test. However, the candidate will be required to produce the original marksheet of the qualifying examination at the time of counseling for getting admission. Further, the candidates who are called for counseling for provisional admission in a course, but their results of the qualifying examinations are not declared till the date of their counseling, may be allowed to take conditional admission in the course provided:
(a) They produce a certificate from the competent authority (such as Controller of Examination, Registrar etc.) to the effect that the result of the concerned qualifying examination has not yet been declared.
(b) It is evident from the mark sheets(s) of the previous examination(s) relating to the course of qualifying degree that the candidate has secured at least stipulated minimum percentage of aggregate marks (for example 50%) in the previous examination(s) (except final examination whose result has not been declared upto time of counseling) of the qualifying degree (This will not be necessary for SC/ST candidates).
(c) The candidate gives an undertaking that he/she will submit the mark sheet of the qualifying examination on or before 14th August of the admission year and if he/she fails to submit the original mark sheet on or before 14th August of the admission year, his/her conditional admission in the course shall automatically stand cancelled and the candidate will not claim for refund of fees paid for conditional admission. This relaxation is not applicable for supplementary examinations/ revaluation results.
Further, if his/her aggregate percentage of marks in the qualifying examination is below the stipulated minimum percentage of aggregate marks, his/her conditional admission will also stand automatically cancelled and the candidate will not claim for refund of fees.
(ii) Candidates who were admitted as regular students to Part I/I Semester of any of the above courses of study in this University through Entrance Test in earlier years(s) and who were eligible for appearing in the concerned Examination shall not be allowed to re-appear in the Entrance Test for admission in the same Course with the same combination of subjects, unless specifically permitted by the Ordinance of the concerned Faculty. Further, such candidates who were not eligible for appearing in the concerned examination due to shortage of attendance or not filling the examination form in time will be allowed to appear in the Entrance Test for that course if otherwise eligible. Candidates already admitted in Part II or above class(es) are not allowed to appear in the Entrance Test of the same course even for change of subject combination.
Such candidates (except B. Sc. I Semester) whose attendance was 25% or above but below the minimum prescribed percentage of attendance for appearing in the examination, ‘need not apply’ for the Entrance Test of the concerned course who are eligible for re-admission in the course. As there is no provision for re-admission for such candidates of B. Sc. (Hons.) I Semester, they are allowed to appear in the concerned Entrance Test. Ofcourse all such candidates are allowed to appear in the Entrance Test for change of subject combination (if any) of the same course.
(iii) If the applicant has passed the qualifying Exam where grades are awarded and:
(a) where the Grade Sheet does not mention the equivalent percentage of marks from grade points, the candidate should submit such a Certificate of conversion from the concerned Institution mentioning either the converted percentage, or the formula for the actual conversion of grade point average to percentage of marks.
(b) where the Grade Sheet itself mentions the equivalent percentage of marks from grade points, or the formula for such conversion, the candidate should get both sides of the Degree/Grade Sheet photocopied showing the equivalent percentage of marks/conversion formula.
(iv) “Aggregate percentage of marks” will not include grace marks awarded to a candidate. It will also not include the marks of those subjects where only pass marks are required such as compulsory language compulsory environmental studies etc. and which do not contribute to the total in the final (degree) marksheet. Similarly the marks of additional subject (if any) for improvement of aggregate percentage/division will not be considered for calculating the aggregate percentage for admission in the University. For further clarification see clause “Notes relating minimum eligibility requirements” serial (v) given below.
(v) The percentage of marks in the aggregate will be computed as evidenced from the final marksheet of the qualifying examination. However in case of graduate examinations, where the final marksheet is of two or more types based on only Honours subject or all the subjects studied in three years, the aggregate shall be computed on the basis of total marks secured in all the subjects studied in three years. For example, in case of students passing BA (Hons.)/B.Sc. (Hons.) from BHU, in earlier years the final marksheets were of two types viz based on only 1000 marks or on 1800 marks. In such cases, the aggregate shall be computed based on total of 1800 marks rather than on 1000 marks. Further, where final marksheet is based on only Hons subject but the candidate has studied other subsidiary/similar subjects also during the study of course, the marks of these subjects will also be included for computation of aggregate percentage. Still further, in case of any ambiguity/interpretational difficulties, the decision of the University will be final.
(vi) (a) Degrees/Certificates recognized by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) shall only be deemed as equivalent degrees/certificates.
(b) The Distance Education Council of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)/Association of Indian Universities (AIU) will be the only authority to recognise the Degrees/Certificates of Distance Education. Such Candidates may be provisionally permitted to appear in the Entrance Tests but will be required to submit certificates from Distance Education Council of IGNOU, New Delhi regarding recognition/approval of the courses.
(vii) Age not to be more than 22 years on 1st July of the admission year implies that for the admission year 2010 the candidate should be born on or after 1st July of 1988.
(viii) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Prospectus of Studies regarding the Courses in which admission is made through Entrance Test, the eligibility requirements for the purpose of admission shall be only those which are mentioned in the Information Bulletin of the academic session concerned.
(ix) Application Forms of candidates who submitted forged/fake certificates or adopted fraudulent means shall be REJECTED. Further, such candidates shall be debarred from appearing in any subsequent Entrance Tests conducted by BHU.
(x) Candidates are allowed to appear at the Entrance Tests provisionally subject to the final verification of Mark sheets/Degrees/Certificates, validity of Certificates/Mark sheets of Qualifying Examination and also of non-involvement in the adoption of unfair means in any of the University Examination/Entrance Tests held earlier, at the time of admission.
(xi) Mere appearance in the Entrance Test or securing pass marks at the UET does not entitle a candidate to be considered for admission to the Course unless he/she fulfils the eligibility conditions. APPLICANTS MUST FULLY SATISFY THEMSELVES ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY AS PRESCRIBED ABOVE, BEFORE FILLING IN THE APPLICATION FORM.
(xii) If an applicant is inadvertently allowed to appear at the Entrance Test who otherwise does not fulfill the minimum eligibility requirements, he/she cannot, at a later date, use that as a right to claim that he/she meets the eligibility requirements.

The University reserves the right to cancel/refuse admission at any point of time if it is found that:

Admissions to M.Tech programmes (2010)

Eligibility
Minimum requirements: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). First class degree holders in 3-year undergraduate programs followed by masters degree with first class in any of the physical sciences, or an MCA degree with first class, can also apply. Final-year students expecting to graduate by August 2010 may also apply. First class or equivalent is required in 10th and 12th (or equivalent) grades as well.

Selection procedure: 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.

Entrance exam waiver

Candidates with GATE scores:Applicants having valid GATE scores from selected disciplines are welcome to apply for the M.Tech. program. Such applicants may qualify for waiver of the entrance examination.

GATE scores from the following disciplines will be considered for this purpose

GATE examination subjects eligible for entrance exam waiver

Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology, Chemistry, Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Physics, Production and Industrial Engineering

Candidates with GRE scores

Applicants who meet the minimum requirements and have valid GRE general test scores are welcome to apply for the M.Tech. program. Such applicants may also qualify for waiver of the entrance examination.

International students

Foreign nationals (FNs) and non-resident Indians (NRIs) are welcome to apply for the M.Tech. program. Such applicants can obtain a waiver of the entrance examination with valid GRE and TOEFL scores. Only those students whose undergraduate education was in an Anglophone country (i.e. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, UK, and the US) are exempt from TOEFL. FNs and NRIs who are short listed for the interview, can also seek waiver of the interview by submitting three letters of recommendation.

Working professionals

Working professionals applying for the M.Tech. program must get leave for the duration of the M.Tech. 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, as scholarships and other financial support are not available to working students.
