Placements
The campus took its first students in 2024 and has not published a placement report for this course yet, so treat any pay figure you read elsewhere with care.
Should you pick M.Tech (Data Science) at IIT Delhi Abu Dhabi Campus?
This course suits students who want an IIT degree and are ready to live and study in the UAE for two years.
Pick it if:
You want the degree without paying for it: a full-time seat with the campus assistantship waives all tuition and pays you a monthly stipend.
You have two years of work behind you: GATE is waived on the full-time route and you sit the campus written test instead.
You need a room from day one: the campus houses men and women separately and charges a shared room by the month.
You need time to plan a visa: the 2026 cycle ran from the May opening to the August registration, about four months.
Skip it if:
You want to study in Delhi: this course runs on the Abu Dhabi campus, so you live and study in the UAE.
You want to see a placement record: the campus is new and has not published a placement report for this course yet.
You will decide only after your GATE result: the form shuts in June and the seat is settled in the first week of July.
You plan to study part-time and pay for it yourself: only UAE Nationals get the full waiver on that route, and others are decided one by one.
Counsellor's advice
If you are aiming at the funded seat, apply in May and keep your GATE score card and your English proof ready, because the form shuts in June and the result follows in about three weeks.

Will your GATE score get you a seat at IIT Delhi Abu Dhabi Campus?
Pick your route and your work experience. Each card shows what the campus asks for on that route.
Your route
Work experience
With assistantship · under 2 years of work
You need a GATE score of 350 if your degree is from India. Clear that with 70% marks, or 7.00 CGPA, and you can apply.
With assistantship · 2 years or more of work
GATE is waived on this route. You sit the campus written test instead, and then the interview.
Sponsored · under 2 years of work
The sponsored route asks for at least one full year of work, so count your months before you apply. GATE and the written test are both waived.
Sponsored · 2 years or more of work
You are past the work bar for this route. GATE and the written test are waived, so the interview decides it.
Part-time · under 2 years of work
Part-time study also asks for at least one full year of work, so check your months first. No GATE score and no written test are asked for.
Part-time · 2 years or more of work
You meet the work bar for part-time study. No GATE score is asked for, and only UAE Nationals get the full tuition waiver on this route.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The 350 score bar is only for Indian degrees on the funded route. Everyone else is judged on the campus written test and the interview, and no score for those is published.

In short
Khalifa University charges less and pays a bigger stipend, and its scholarship covers the room too. If you want the IIT degree, take this seat; if the monthly money matters more, apply to Khalifa as well.
In short
MBZUAI does not publish a fee because every full-time master's student is funded, and its stipend is the biggest here. If you are set on artificial intelligence research, apply there too and keep this seat as your backup.
In short
IIT Madras Zanzibar Campus costs much less for the same two years, but it publishes no waiver and no stipend. If you cannot get the funded seat here, that campus is the cheaper way to an IIT degree.
In short
Heriot-Watt University Dubai finishes in one year and costs less, but it publishes no waiver and no stipend. If you want a British degree in a year, pick it; if you want a funded IIT degree, stay here.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
