I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.


Hello there,

Yes, a student waiting for the final semester (S6 or S8) result but has passed all other semesters and holds a valid GATE score can apply for M.Tech admission.

However, final admission usually depends on:

  • Clearing all pending semester exams before the admission deadline.

  • Submission of the final semester marksheet or provisional certificate when required.

Colleges may allow provisional admission based on GATE and previous results, but you must clear the remaining semester to continue the course.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

The time needed to prepare for the GATE exam varies greatly depending on individual factors like study habits, whether the concepts are clear or not and etc...However, a timeframe of 1 to 2 years is generally recommended for serious preparation, especially if you're aiming for a good rank.

If your basics are clear and you are well known with the concepts then focus on pyq's and give mock tests and re-revise the syllabus. But if your preparation is not that much good then I would suggest that give a complete one year time and prepare well and then appear for the Exam.
