Since you completed classes 8, 9, and 10 in Andhra Pradesh as a hosteler and then did 11th and 12th in Telangana, your eligibility for NEET state quota seats depends on how each state defines domicile.

1. Andhra Pradesh (AP)
   AP offers both local area and non-local (unreserved) seats. If you studied in AP for a continuous period or have parents with long-term residency, you may qualify. AP also allows non-local candidates to compete for 15% of unreserved state quota seats. (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vijayawada/sc-order-on-t-domicile-policy-not-applicable-for-ap-says-official/articleshow/122887501.cms?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

2. Telangana (TS)
   Telangana currently requires students to have studied Classes 9 to 12 in the state to qualify for its state quota. However, the Supreme Court has flagged this rule as too restrictive and urged a more inclusive approach where domicile is based on parental residence, not just schooling. A hearing is scheduled soon.

3. What This Means for You

   1. You may be eligible for AP state quota under the non-local category, especially if you meet other residency criteria.

   2. TS quota eligibility is uncertain due to the pending court decision, and your schooling history might not currently meet TS requirements.

Yes, it is possible to get admitted to some government postgraduate (PG) programs, including M.Tech, without a GATE score. While GATE is a common and often preferred route for admission to many government institutions, especially IITs and NITs, several alternatives exist.

Here's how you can pursue PG programs without GATE:

Sponsored Seats:

Many IITs and NITs offer sponsored seats in their M.Tech programs. These seats are often available to candidates with relevant work experience (usually at least two years) in a related field.

Quality Improvement Programme (QIP):

This program allows individuals already working in academic institutions to pursue M.Tech degrees at IITs and other institutions without a GATE score.

Entrance Exams Conducted by Specific Institutions:

Some institutions, including IITs and NITs, may conduct their own entrance exams or interviews for specific M.Tech programs, especially for those not seeking GATE-based admission.

State-Level Entrance Exams:

Some state governments conduct their own entrance exams for postgraduate programs in state-funded universities and colleges.

Merit-Based Admission:

Some institutions may offer admission based on academic merit, considering your undergraduate performance and other relevant factors.

Private Institutions:

Private universities and colleges often offer M.Tech programs without mandatory GATE scores, relying on their own entrance exams, interviews, or merit-based admissions.

Study Abroad:

Consider pursuing an MS degree abroad, as many international universities have their own admission criteria, which may not include GATE.

Important Considerations:

Eligibility Criteria: Ensure you meet the specific eligibility criteria of the institution and program you are interested in, as these may vary.

Application Deadlines: Be aware of the application deadlines for each institution and program.

Alternative Exams: If you are considering an institution that conducts its own entrance exam, familiarize yourself with the exam pattern and syllabus.

Congratulations on securing an All India Rank of eight hundred seventy five in GATE Exam this is a very good achievement and opens up several opportunities first you can apply for postgraduate programs like MTech or ME in top institutes including IITs NITs and other centrally funded universities during the counselling sessions such as CCMT or institute level admissions your rank is strong enough for branches like core engineering computer science electrical mechanical and more in good as well as premier institutes second many public sector undertakings recruit graduates based on GATE scores companies like Indian Oil Corporation NTPC ONGC PowerGrid and BHEL consider candidates with high GATE ranks for engineering roles third you can also explore teaching and research assistant positions in technical institutes where GATE qualified candidates are preferred fourth if you are interested in further studies you could go for dual degree PhD or integrated research programs which require strong GATE scores to get scholarships and fellowships your rank makes you eligible for financial assistance under MHRD or institute specific schemes in summary with All India Rank eight hundred seventy five you are well placed for MTech admission jobs in PSUs academic or research careers and other advanced opportunities Let me know if you would like specific college or program recommendations under the same format

Hello Aspirant,

In the NIT Surathkal GATE cutoff list, G1 and G2 refer to seat categories for admission through CCMT counselling.

G1: General pool of seats—includes all primary category seats like General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD.

G2: Additional or supernumerary seats—may include seats reserved for specific categories (e.g., industry-sponsored, foreign nationals, or special quotas) depending on the institute’s policy.

For most candidates applying through GATE via CCMT, G1 is the main seat category you should focus on.

All the best for your M.Tech admission process.

Hello,

For core branches (like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc.), VSSUT Burla is a better choice than OUTR (CET) Bhubaneswar.

Here’s why:

• Strong core departments : VSSUT has a long history and strong reputation in core engineering.

• Better GATE environment : Many students from VSSUT prepare for GATE, so you will get a good peer group and study environment.

• Good faculty and alumni : Especially in core branches, VSSUT has better faculty support and alumni network in PSU and higher studies.

So, if your focus is on core branches and GATE preparation, VSSUT Burla is the better option.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

You have a possibility of getting into BHMS, particularly in private or semi government colleges, if you are NEET 2025 EWS rank is 79856 and your chances is in the 61 percentile. It's preferable to look into choices in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar and Chattisgarh because the BHMS cut off differs by college and state. For possible openings, keep a watch on mop up and the stay vacancy rounds.

Dera Bhuvan,

yes as per my knowledge many private universities conduct their own entrance exams or offer direct admission based on academic record. like for examples:-

1. VIT (Vellore Institute of Technology)

2. SRM University

3. Amity University

4. Lovely Professional University (LPU)

5. BITS Pilani

while some. state universities may also offer seats Anna University, JNTU, MAKAUT colleges

. Some Central Universities also like offer seats like University of Hyderabad, Jamia Millia Islamia

hope you get...

thanks!

best of luck..
