Hello,

Having a variation in your name on the GATE scorecard and academic records, such as your 10th marksheet, may lead to some problems during admission processes at IITs. Normally, consistency in all documents is expected.

Things to do:

Contact Institution: Contact the admissions offices of the IITs that you are applying to explain the situation. They would advise you on their minor name variation policies.

Affidavit or name clarification: You may even have to draft an affidavit stating that MUPPURI SIVAKRISHNA and MUPPURI SIVA KRISHNA are one and the same. This avoids confusion during verification.

Notarized documents: A declaration or supporting document, usually in the possession of a notarized version, would be quite helpful.

This way, if a solution exists to this prior to admitting a child, a smooth process will be accomplished.

Hello aspirant,

Indeed, those who hold a degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering are qualified to take the GATE exam, which gives them the opportunity to apply to PSUs. GATE-qualified ECE students are sought after by numerous PSUs for jobs in signal processing, electronics, telecommunications, and other domains.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hello,

Yes, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering graduate becomes eligible for recruitment in various public sector undertakings through GATE examination. Numerous PSUs recruit the higher engineers in electronics and telecommunication sectors of telecommunication, electronics, and information technology as per their score.

Some common PSUs that recruit ETE graduates through GATE examination.

BSNL

MTNL

BHEL- Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited

NTP C- National Thermal Power Corporation

ONGC- Oil and Natural Gas Corporation

IOCL- Indian Oil Corporation Limited

Refer the eligibility criteria and recruitment advertisements of PSU's always as they differ with respective PSUs. It would be also a smart idea to keep updating regularly about GATE schedules and details.

Hello,

Yes, you can take the GATE exam in Aerospace Engineering after completing your B.Tech in CSE with a specialisation in AI & ML. The GATE exam opens up opportunities to many engineers from diverse engineering streams for most of the subjects, including that of Aerospace Engineering provided one's eligibility criteria for participation are aligned with that required by the conducting authorities.

Here is your suggested plan to pursue:

Do you understand GATE Eligibility ? Verify whether you meet the eligibility criteria for Aerospace Engineering. They generally accept candidates with a degree in engineering or technology.

Study Syllabus: Review the GATE Aerospace Engineering syllabus. Focus on a few important streams of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and structural mechanics which are not a part of your CSE course.

Study Materials: Get study material that shall include books, online course materials, and particular GATE preparation books specific to Aerospace Engineering.

Solving previous years' GATE papers is very important to understand the pattern of the exam and what questions are most asked.

Coaching or Study Groups : One may take coaching classes or join a study group where guided preparation is provided for Aerospace Engineering.

Higher Studies: If, after the GATE exam, you are interested in a career in aerospace, you must seriously consider that you would want to do a Master's in Aerospace Engineering to further improve your knowledge and skills in the field.

By following the above steps, you certainly can make the transition from CSE to Aerospace Engineering, but this time by making proper preparations for GATE.
