General Introduction

All Engineering students have to make a choice that defines their career. The three most popular options among the engineers are:

* A job.
* Management.
* M.Tech.

It’s not necessary that 100% of the engineering students get placed in one or the other company. In such a situation they have to make a choice between Management and M.Tech. In the past, a large crowd was diverted towards management in order to achieve a lum-sum amount of money. But if we consider the present scenario, then we can’t under-estimate the next option i.e. M.Tech. In order to support this fact, we want to let you know that the number of students appearing in GATE has been increasing every year.

Many people are good at management, and if they have interest in pursuing a management degree then they should opt for the management. However, M.Tech provides a direction for a research-oriented job or a faculty position in a university. One may even take up a management position in a research-based enterprise through M.Tech. In all the choice between both kinds of careers depends completely on an individual and its area of interest. After making a choice, what he or she needs to do is to prepare well for it that requires proper understanding of the option chosen. So here is the beginning…

* Some Engineering colleges / institutes specify GATE as a mandatory qualification for the admission of students to Postgraduate Programmes.
* Admission to Postgraduate Programmes, with MHRD and other government scholarship / assistantship, in engineering / Technology / Architecture / Pharmacy / Science at Engineering colleges / institutes in the country will be available only to those who qualify through GATE.
* GATE qualification by itself doesn’t guarantee either admission or scholarship / assistantship. The candidate is required to find the procedure of final selection and award of scholarship / Assistantship from the Institutions to which the candidate seeks admission.
* Gate qualified candidates in Engineering / Technology disciplines are eligible for the award of the Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. GATE qualification also serves as a requirement for applying to the Post of Scientists in some Government Organizations.
