Hey Sunil, I follow your posts regularly and I must say they helped me a lot for my GATE 2015 preparation.
I have got a rank of 49 in GATE 2015. Can you please tell me the options that I have.Are IIT Bombay and IIT Madras good for mtech in biotechnology ? What about the written test and interviews they conduct for admission.?
I am so confused. Please help !
Thanks a lot

Hello Priankay,

First of all congratulations for the brilliant performance. IIT Bombay is undoubtedly one of the best choices, both in terms of the academics and job package. As the M.Tech in IITB is specialized in Biomedical Engg., so it all depends upon your career aspiration (whether you are looking forward to a career in Nano Biotechnology/ Tissue Engineering/ Organ Culture/ Bio-instrumentation etc). Biomedical Engg. is undoubtedly the field of current and future research. If you have an interest in the same, then blindly go for IITB.

If you are interested in Biochemical Engg. then any one of the IITD/IIT Madras will do. I'll recommend IIT Delhi over IIT Madras.

Your percentile is well above 99.5 (assuming 10,000 students appeared). You will easily get a call from Germany (DAAD) and Singapore (NUS) if you apply in time. Do consider that seriously.

If you have interest in business administration, then you may go for NITIE Mumbai (average package after PG is around 10 lpa for a good performer). It takes GATE qualified students with good GATE scores.

Hope it helps
