Securing Microelectronics at BITS with a GATE score of 534 is competitive. Alternatively, LPU offers a robust M.Tech in VLSI with industry-aligned curricula and advanced labs. Admission is available via GATE or LPU’s own entrance exam, providing hands-on training and strong placement opportunities with top tech firms for aspiring engineers.

Why b.tech completed students not eligible for TET or DSC? B tech education is more than diet education

That’s why, even if BTech is a higher degree, it is not considered a teaching qualification. States want teachers who are trained specifically for teaching, which is why they insist on B.Ed or D.El.Ed.

Dear Student,

Yes, as an agricultural engineer with an MTech in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, you can apply for many PSU jobs through GATE Civil Engineering. However, it depends on the specific PSU, the post, and whether they accept a Civil Engineering GATE score for agriculture, water, or environmental roles.

Most PSUs require:
