Master of Technology is a postgraduate degree that demands a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, B.Tech/B.E., or equivalent qualification from an accredited university. Most institutes demand the candidate qualify for entrance exams such as GATE, whereas some universities conduct their own entrance exams. Minimum percentage requirements in undergraduate studies vary, usually at 50-60%, although the top institutions are more stringent. Others offer admissions based on merit, interviews, or work experience in some private universities.
Other than the educational qualification, strong technical background along with research ability and problem-solving skills can benefit candidates. Specializations in M.Tech differ; Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, etc. depend on the candidate's undergraduate discipline. There are part-time or sponsored M.Techs where working professionals can take higher education. Additional requirements of foreign universities might be GRE scores, TOEFL or IELTS language proficiency tests for international students.
