Is a GATE score mandatory for admission at Puran Murti Campus?

At Puran Murti Campus, the M.Tech admission process for the 2026 academic session is designed with a Dual-Pathway Strategy. This ensures that the institution remains a top destination for national-level rankers while also providing a "stress-free" route for consistent academic performers who may not have appeared for the GATE exam.

1. The GATE Advantage: The "Gold Standard" Route

For students with a valid GATE 2026 score, the admission process is highly streamlined.

  • Scholarship Access: GATE-qualified candidates admitted to AICTE-approved M.Tech programs at Puran Murti are eligible for the AICTE PG Scholarship. In 2026, this stipend stands at ₹12,400 per month for the entire 24-month duration of the course.

  • Preferential Selection: 50% of the total M.Tech seats are typically reserved for GATE qualifiers. These students often receive priority during the "Specialization Selection" process, especially for high-demand tracks like Aerospace Propulsion or AI & ML.

  • Research Assistantships: GATE scorers are frequently fast-tracked for roles as Junior Research Fellows (JRF) in campus-led defense and aviation projects.

2. Direct Merit-Based Admission (Non-GATE)

The campus recognizes that many talented engineers may have focused on industry projects or high B.Tech CGPAs rather than competitive entrance coaching. For these candidates, a Merit-on-Merit pathway is available.

  • B.Tech Performance: Candidates with an aggregate of 55% or higher (approx. 6.0+ CGPA) in their undergraduate engineering degree can apply directly. The admission committee reviews the student's final year project and core subject grades to determine eligibility.

  • Management Quota: A specific percentage of seats (often up to 50%) is filled via the Management/Direct route to ensure a diverse classroom mix of academic researchers and industry-oriented professionals.

  • University Entrance Evaluation: For competitive branches, the college may conduct a "Simple Stress-Test" or a personal interview. This evaluation focuses on Fundamental Engineering Concepts and the candidate's research intent rather than the high-speed problem-solving required by GATE.

3. Institutional Scholarships for Non-GATE Students

Even without a GATE stipend, high-achieving non-GATE students can access the Academic Excellence Scholarship.

  • 85%–95% in B.Tech: Qualifies for a 25% Tuition Fee Waiver.

  • 75%–84% in B.Tech: Qualifies for a 15% Tuition Fee Waiver.

  • AIE CET Route: Non-GATE students can also appear for the All India Engineering Common Entrance Test (AIE CET). Scoring a high rank here can unlock up to 100% tuition fee waivers, making the M.Tech almost free of cost for the most talented candidates.

4. Verification and Enrollment Flow

In 2026, the finalization of the seat—whether through GATE or Merit—follows a standard verification process:

  1. Digital Profile: Students register on the Puran Murti portal or the AIE CET website.

  2. Document Upload: Scanning original B.Tech degree/provisional certificates, Aadhaar, and (if applicable) GATE scorecards.

  3. Physical Counseling: A visit to the Sonepat (Delhi-NCR) campus for original document sighting and interaction with the Head of Department (HOD).

  4. Confirmation: Payment of the first installment (including the ₹45,500 one-time admission charges) to lock the specialization.
