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!

Hello,
Yes, you can apply for EAMCET counseling even if you don't have a ration card or income certificate, as long as you meet the eligibility criteria for your category. However, some colleges may require documents for reservation benefits under the BSc caste category. It's advisable to check with the specific college or the counseling authority for alternative documents or provisions that may allow you to participate in the counseling process.

IIT BHU has four different for M.

Hello Rajendra,
As you have scored 353 in Gate 2024, this signifies that you had done a great hard work for this entrance, and thus qualified GATE 24' successfully. But, getting into top NITs for pursuing your M.Tech in Computer Science with this score finds difficult for general candidates. Though, I would suggest you to wait till Round 4 of the counselling for NIT(Patna) for M.Tech in Data Science
Though, you can find your chances of getting a good college across India like IIITs, NSUT, etc for your master's degree in CS and other related branches like Artificial Intelligence & Data Science, by clicking on the link down below:
