M.Tech. (CSE) Admission Details 2021

IIIT-Delhi subscribes to the view, that a Master degree is primarily industry-focused, though it can be used as a stepping stone for research as well. The decision whether the degree is to be pursued for skill and knowledge up-gradation, or also for building research skills should rest with the student.

The Institute feels that to address the needs of the industry, which today requires more specialized manpower as each field is getting more complex, it is desirable to provide specializations within CSE in the M.Tech. program. For this, the Institute permits a student to do a "M.Tech." or "M.Tech. with specialization". The following are the available specializations:

M.Tech. (Computer Science and Engineering)

Note : The seats in CSE program will be floated as open seats rather than specialization wise.

Students will be admitted in core branch i.e. CSE rather than specialization i.e. Data Engineering, Information Security etc. The candidates are free to choose their specialisation during their studies. Guidelines for each specialisation are defined separately. If a student completes the requirement of a particular specialisation along with the requirement of M.Tech.(CSE) core/bucket, then they will be eligible to graduate with that specialisation. Final degree will be awarded after due verification of completion of all requirements.

Particular requirements of each specialization can be seen here.

Important Note I (Conversion of CGPA to Percentage)

In the application form, only aggregate percentage will be taken from the applicants. Please read the instructions below.

If the University/Institute provides percentage as primary evaluation:

Applicants should directly fill the percentage in the form. In this case, the applicant will be required to give an undertaking form which is available here.

If the University/Institute provides CGPA or equivalent grading as primary evaluation:

The applicants having grading scheme i.e. result in CGPA or equivalent grading, will be required to convert their CGPA to percentage according to the conversion formulae prevailing in their respective university/institute. In addition, the applicant must upload a certificate on the official letter head from university/institute indicating the conversion from the CGPA to percentage.

If the applicant' university/institute does not provide the conversion from CGPA to percentage, the conversion formulae will be "multiplication of CGPA by 10" to derive the percentage. For example, if CGPA is 7.5, the equivalent in percentage will be 7.5x10 = 75%. In this case, the applicant will be required to give an undertaking form which is available here.

Note: The candidates who are facing challenges to get CGPA to percentage conversion certificate from their University due to COVID-19 situation can give a self-undertaking at the time of application submission, for which the applicant should carefully check what is the conversion rule of their University/Institute. All such candidates have to submit the duly signed conversion certificate from the University/Institute at the time of document verification, failing which their admission/studentship shall be liable for cancellation.
