MIT Manipal Collaborates with Deakin University to Launch Dual-Degree Programme

MIT Manipal has announced a collaboration with Deakin University, Australia, to launch a dual-degree programme. This initiative aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of their chosen field and enhance their career opportunities in the engineering and technology sectors. The dual-degree programme enables students to earn two globally recognised undergraduate qualifications from leading universities in four years. Students can choose their major from two discipline areas: Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering.

The programme combines modern theory with industry-standard skills. The 2-year BTech course at MIT and the 2-year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Deakin University equip students with the skills needed to create innovative solutions to real-world engineering problems. Dr. Anil Rana, Director, MIT, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating that it strengthens academic ties and expands the reach of education across continents, cultures, and knowledge fields.

MIT Manipal students who meet the eligibility criteria may be considered for the Deakin International Merit Scholarship (South Asia), which offers a 20% or 25% tuition fee waiver. The programme also offers seamless credit transfer between both institutions and a full-time student experience in India and Australia. Upon completion, students will be awarded two degrees: a BTech from MAHE Manipal and a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) from Deakin University, Australia.

With a GATE 2024 score of 365 in Electrical Engineering, admission to top IITs is unlikely, as their cutoffs for EE usually range between **700–750+**, and even newer IITs often require scores above 600 for M.Tech programs. For NITs, a 365 may allow admission in some **lower-ranked NITs or reserved category seats**, but options will be limited and highly dependent on your **category, home state quota, and previous year cutoffs**. Considering opportunities, placements, and facilities, **LPU offers a better alternative for M.Tech in Electrical Engineering**, accepting GATE scores in this range, providing good labs, industry exposure, and campus placements for career growth.

With a **GATE 2024 score of 473 in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence**, getting into top old IITs is very tough because their cutoffs are usually **much higher (often 600‑700+)** for AI and related M.Tech programs. You may get chances at some **NIT / GFTI colleges like Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (AI/Data Science range ~466‑472 in recent rounds)** depending on category and counselling. Considering overall opportunities, placements, labs, and female scholarships, **LPU (Lovely Professional University) is a strong choice** for M.Tech in Data Science/AI with GATE score, as it offers direct admission, good curriculum, industry exposure, and support for female students.

If you are pursuing a diploma final year and wish to take admission into National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli through Joint Entrance Examination Main, you are generally not eligible through the regular JEE Main route because NITs primarily admit students who have completed 10+2 with Physics, Mathematics and one additional subject. Diploma holders usually cannot apply through JEE Main for first year B.Tech at NIT Trichy. However, some state universities allow lateral entry, but NIT Trichy does not offer lateral entry admissions for diploma students. You may consider completing 10+2 or exploring other universities offering lateral entry options.

Dear Student,

No, Manipal University Bangalore does not accept KCET scores for direct admission to its BTech programs. For BTech at Manipal Institute of Technology Bengaluru, admission is based on the Manipal Entrance Test (MET), not KCET.

Thank You!

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.
