hello sir,
I am EC student.i want to know how much marks needed in GATE exam to get admission in IITs.and which field is better for EC student.

It's not the minimum marks you need to get. You need to through the cut-off for the exam and which is merely decided by the exam result. You can get a general idea of the cut off or minimum marks required for clearing GATE from the previous year results.

Hi, you are a ECE student and want a IIT for Post Graduation its nice.
Each institute has its own cut off percentage in the GATE score.

The following are the common cutoff for institutes
1. Above 96 Percentile for IITs., IISC
2. Between 85-96 Percentile for NITs (previously called as RECs)
3. Less than 85 perentile for Other institutes

And the M.Tech. in Electronics is best field for you and it has good scope also.

So good Luck and study hard.

You can expect getting admission in IITs and IISc through GATE if you score more than 96 percentile. Between 85-96 percentile, you can get admission in NIT. For less than 85 percentile, you can try in other instituitions.

Since you are an ECE student, you can select one amongst the following courses that is offered by the various IITs and IISc.

Other than this, other private and government colleges provide various other courses for M.Tech in ECE. You can select one according to your choice.

hi....electronics and communication branch is one of the most hard fought branches for the gate examination and also the number of students attempting this exam is quite huge as compared to some other branches ...
