Yes, it is possible to get admission to an M.Tech programme without GATE under certain circumstances. One such circumstance is if the candidate has a BTech degree / MSc (Math/Applied Math) degree from any IIT.  In general, the candidate must have earned a BTech/BE/MSc/Equivalent Degree in any discipline and must have already earned BTech/BE/MSc or, at least, should be in the final year of the respective studies. In the latter case, it would be assumed that the candidate will be able to complete the degree by the time of M.Tech admission.  

To pursue M.Tech at IIT Hyderabad, aspiring candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria. This includes holding a valid GATE score in CS/ECE/Statistics/Maths. Notwithstanding, there is a provision for candidates who have completed their B.Tech/MSc/MS/MCA from IITs and IISc, having a CPI of at least 8.0 (7.0 for SC/ST candidates), to be exempted from the GATE requirement.

Candidates will go through a preliminary shortlisting procedure based on their academic history and GATE score in order to be admitted to the programme. A candidate may be required to take a written exam and/or an interview if they satisfy the cutoff for shortlisting. The number of applications received will determine whether or not a test or interview is required, and candidates will be informed as such. It should be emphasised that the department retains the authority to set a shortlisting cutoff for M.Tech applications and may decide not to accept any candidates if none are thought to be eligible. Being eligible does not automatically mean that a candidate will be invited to the written exam or interview.

The BTech programme is offered under 15 specialisations at IIT Hyderabad. Some of the specialisations include Artificial Intelligence, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering.

Candidates preparing for IITs are only required to appear for the JEE Advanced entrance exam after qualifying JEE Main. Students who who secure above the 98th percentile in JEE Main 2024 Session 2 should start preparing for JEE Advanced 2025 immediately. Those who score between 95th and 98th percentile should focus on improving their JEE Main score by taking multiple mock tests and practicing previous year's question papers. By analysing their strengths and weaknesses, candidates can identify their areas of proficiency and topics where they need improvement. If they can achieve full marks in their practice sessions, they can start preparing for JEE Advanced. However, if they cannot score full marks, it is recommended that they appear for multiple mock test series for more practice. 

 Based on the JOSAA 2022 closing ranks, Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) consistently has lower closing ranks compared to other branches, indicating higher competition for admission. It is a highly sought-after branch due to its demand in the job market and diverse career opportunities in areas such as Software Development, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science. However, it's important to note that closing ranks can vary each year, and the popularity of a branch can fluctuate.
