For admission into M.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar, students are shortlisted on the basis of their GATE score. This institute conducts a written test and an interview to select the shortlisted student for admission. Before the interview, the selected candidates need to appear in a written test, and only those who pass the test are considered eligible for the interview. There is no negative marking in the test and the subjects covered for ECE are Communications, Signals, EMT, Digital, Analog, EDC, and Maths.

The pattern of the written test is as follows:

• 35 questions for 90 minutes.
• 1-20 questions which are 1 mark questions.
• 21-35 questions which are 2 marks questions

The result of the written test is declared within one hour of the exam. And, the selected students are required to go through an interview in order to get admission. You may have the interview on the same day or the day after the written test. The interview takes about 15-20 minutes and the interview panel will have at least 4 members. Questions asked during the interview are mostly from your B Tech project, your choice of subject. If you get selected, the institute will let you know via email after a few days.

The candidates with a minimum of 60% aggregate or 6.5 CGPA in B.Tech with a valid score are eligible to apply in IIT Bhubaneswar for metallurgy and material science. The shortlisting of the candidates will be based on the GATE score only. The selection is based on 70% weightage on the GATE score and 30% in written test and interview.

So for admissions in the metallurgy and material science specializations, there is an average cut off GATE score for the year 2020 which is 460-470. Since GATE is a relative and dynamic grading examination so the best way is to achieve more score. In other words, a better GATE score gives more weightage on your selection in IIT Bhubaneswar for M.Tech with metallurgy and material science specialization.
