sir.,
i am 1st sem b.e in e&c please tell me how to prepare for iit through gate for m.tech .& suggest me books for preparation to gate

HI FRIENDS.........

Desirous students having CGPA 8.0 and above at the end of 3rd Semester of the M. Tech. programme are eligible to opt for Ph. D. Otherwise a candidate can continue with his M.Tech. programme if he is not qualified for Ph.D. programme.
Those students selected for Ph.D. Programme will have to complete the two year academic requirements of M.Tech. Programme before enrolment for Ph.D. and they will be awarded both M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees together upon completion of Ph.D. programme successfully.
Sponsored Candidates
Candidates satisfying the eligibility and selection criteria and in service in the following establishments: i) Defence or other ministries of the Government of India or any other government organizations; ii) Established industrial research and development organizations; iii) Autonomous bodies and public undertakings and iv) Universities/Colleges are eligible for admission to the program as Sponsored Candidates.

Selection:
Selection of candidate is based on performance in GATE and personal interview/written test or both. The weightage for GATE Score and written test/interview will be 70% and 30% respectively.
Personal interviews will conducted at IIT Bhubaneswar
Note: A candidate who fails to appear for the Personal Interview/Written Test will not be considered for admission.
Assistantship:
Students who are admitted in the Joint M.Tech. – Ph. D. programme will receive an assistantship of Rs.8000/- per month for the first two years and the students who are permitted to continue with the Ph.D. Programme will receive an additional assistantship of Rs.4000/- per month in the second year of their study. On completion of M.Tech. programme and after enrolment for Ph.D. these candidates will receive an assistantship of Rs.18000 per month. However, the additional assistantship will be paid retrospectively after the Ph. D. registration.
