Admission
Rank lists for M. Tech. programmes are prepared on the basis of the valid GATE Score. When the GATE Scores of two or more candidates are equal, the marks scored at the qualifying examination are reckoned as the tie-breaker. Seats set apart for candidates from different disciplines in interdisciplinary M. Tech. programmes will be allotted on the basis of their GATE Scores in the respective disciplines.Candidates without GATE Score will be considered only if sufficient numbers of applicants with valid GATE Score are not available. Candidates without valid GATE score and sponsored candidates will have to appear for a Department Admission Test (DAT) conducted in the Department/ School concerned.

Visit to University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Three students from every batch of the M.Tech. (OE and LT) progamme had the opportunity to do their two-semester dissertation work at University of Gothenburg, Sweden under the Erasmus Plus Student and Faculty Exchange agreement with International School of Photonics.
Six students from the 2019-21 and 2020-22 batches visited University of Gothenburg under this agreement for two semesters, after the COVID-19 outbreak.
