Students with a 3-year B.Sc. degree can apply for the GATE exam. However, the eligibility for admission through GATE scores depends on the program and institution. B.Sc. graduates can apply for Master's programs like M.Tech at institutions such as IITs, IISc, and some NITs, but most IITs require a B.Tech for direct M.Tech admissions. IISc offers Integrated Ph.D. programs, and some NITs may accept B.Sc. graduates for specific programs. Ensure you check the specific eligibility criteria for each institute and program.



Hello,

Yes, as per the latest GATE eligibility criteria , students who have completed a 3-year BSc (Bachelor of Science) degree can now apply for the GATE exam. But admission options through GATE score for such students are limited.

  • IITs: Generally do not allow admission to MTech, but some may offer MSc-PhD or research programmes.

  • IISc: Allows BSc students for Integrated PhD in science subjects.

  • NITs/IIITs: Mostly need BE/BTech, so limited chances for BSc students.

  • Best options: Integrated PhD, MS by Research, or research roles.

Hope it helps !
