IITs generally require a valid GATE score for admission to the M.Tech program. However, some IITs may offer M.Tech programs through sponsored or part-time mode, where the GATE score may not be a strict requirement. It's best to check the admission criteria and requirements for the M.Tech program and the IIT you are interested in. For such program, I would like you to go with Intellipaat’s MTech in AI and ML which is specially offering an M.tech program in collaboration with IIT Jammu where you will be getting chance to learn from IIT faculty during your 2 years program.
