After the Exam, what next:

1. After publication of GATE results, students must apply to
   individual Institutes to get their application forms.
2. Institutes advertise M.Tech admissions in leading
   newspapers from 1^st April till end July. However some Institutes do
   not advertise and therefore students have to get the forms themselves.
3. In the application forms, you have to mention your GATE
   score alongwith other details.
4. The concerned Institute may conduct written test and/or
   interview for the purpose of admission.
5. General thumb rules: If your Gate score in Computer
   Science is 96 percentile or more then you can try for IITs, if between 85 - 96
   percentile, then apply for top RECs, JADAVPUR, SHIBPUR, ROORKEE, etc. If less
   than 85, you have to look for appropriate institutes.
