Hello Divya, I can help you with information about applying for a Ph.D. in Structural Engineering at IIT BHU or IIT Patna, even without being GATE qualified.
General Information and Application Process
Eligibility: While a GATE score is often a primary requirement for Ph.D. admissions at IITs, it's not always mandatory. Many IITs allow candidates with a Master's degree and a good CGPA (like your 8.8) to apply directly. Your strong academic record will definitely be an advantage.
Application Process:
Check the Institutes' Websites: The most reliable information will be on the official websites of IIT BHU (Banaras Hindu University) and IIT Patna. Look for the "Admissions" or "Academics" sections, and then specifically for "Ph.D. Admissions."
Look for Notifications: Keep an eye out for Ph.D. admission notifications. These are usually released a few times a year (typically around March-April and September-October), but it's best to check regularly.
Read the Admission Brochure/Information Bulletin Carefully: This document will contain crucial details about eligibility criteria (including specific CGPA requirements, GATE exemptions, etc.), the application process, required documents, selection procedure, important dates, and available specializations within Structural Engineering.
Online Application: Usually, you'll need to fill out an online application form. Be prepared to upload scanned copies of your mark sheets, degree certificates, GATE score card (if you have one), photo ID, and other documents as specified in the information brochure.
Application Fee: Pay the application fee online.
Selection Process:
Shortlisting: IITs will typically shortlist candidates based on their academic record, research experience (if any), and sometimes a written test. Since you don't have a GATE score, your Master's CGPA will be very important.
Interview: Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview. The interview panel will assess your understanding of the subject, research aptitude, and motivation for pursuing a Ph.D. Be prepared to discuss your Master's thesis and any research projects you've worked on.
How to Find the Form Dates
IIT BHU Website: Go to the IIT BHU website ( https://www.iitbhu.ac.in/ ). Navigate to the "Academics" or "Admissions" section and look for "Ph.D. Admissions."
IIT Patna Website: Go to the IIT Patna website ( https://www.iitp.ac.in/ ). Similarly, find the "Academics" or "Admissions" section and then "Ph.D. Admissions."
Check Regularly: Visit these pages regularly (at least once a week) to check for updates and announcements.
Set Up Google Alerts: Set up Google Alerts for keywords like "IIT BHU Ph.D. Admissions," "IIT Patna Ph.D. Admissions," and "Ph.D. Admissions Civil Engineering." This way, you'll receive email notifications when new information is published online.
Important things to remember:
Contact the Departments Directly: If you have specific questions, don't hesitate to contact the Civil Engineering departments at IIT BHU and IIT Patna. You can find their contact information on the respective websites.
Prepare a Strong Statement of Purpose (SOP): Your SOP is crucial, especially without a GATE score. Clearly articulate your research interests, why you want to pursue a Ph.D., and why you're a good fit for the program at that specific IIT. Highlight your Master's thesis and any research experience.
Recommendation Letters: Obtain strong recommendation letters from your professors or supervisors who can vouch for your academic abilities and research potential.
Good luck with your applications!

Hope this information will help you. Thank you.
HELLO
To be honest, 80 is an amazing score but it does not guarantee your seat into IITs. For getting into an IIT, you need to score good in JEE mains and advance. Admissions into IITs is only based on that. All the best !
Hello,
Undoubtedly IIT Guwahati is a better among the three IITs because it is considered to be among the top 7-8 IITs. So, the cut off for cse branch IIT Guwahati is also under 600-700 so you need to score really good to get the cse branch over there.
The infrastructure and view of IIT Guwahati is just amazing you will enjoy the campus life. I can be rest assured of that.
But the other IITs are not so good with computer science branch and are not considered to be among the top ones. IIT Patna is comparatively a newer IIT.
If you want to check the other colleges that you can get ,you can take the help of college predictor link given below -
When you have to compare two colleges and have to arrive at a conclusion then you have to choose some of the parameters. This parameters can be a distinct number of events but to conclude this answer I am choosing some of the most important parameters like:
Infrastructurally there are no point to differentiate this two colleges as they both have brilliant infrastructure. Now IIT-ISM is a older institute compared to that of IIT Patna. The curriculum of IIT-ISM is more elegant that IIT Patna. The faculties in both the college are well qualified but from a experience point of view, ISM have more experienced teachers. From a placement point of view, IIT Patna have a better placement package (around Rs 15 LPA in average) where as for IIT ISM its around Rs 10 LPA. So comparatively both the institute have there own advantage and disadvantage but from a over all consideration, IIT Patna is better than IIT ISM in terms of placements which can really help you to get a stable career ahead.

Yes Indian Institute of Technology Patna provides the facility of Auditorium to the students. Mention below all other facilities which are provided to the students of Indian Institute of Technology Patna:
Hello student,
If we compare between those two Indian institute of technologies we can find which is much better for computer science and Engineering and for other courses as well.
All kinds of facilities in IIT Patna is superior in the term of transportation as well as the college campus and all. The average CTC of of iit
patna is near about 15lakhs han jyada and IIT Bhubaneswar has quite much more CTC. The highest salary package of of IIT Patna is 47 lpa but for IIT Bhubaneswar it is only 43.
