The full form of ME is
Master of Engineering and that of M.Tech is Master of Technology. M.Tech is a
professional postgraduate engineering master's degree program awarded to
candidates after completion of two years of study in the discipline of
engineering. This degree is predicated in a specific branch of engineering.
In India, the ME/M.Tech
degree is offered across various specializations. These specializations include
Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, VLSI, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and
Communication Engineering etc.
This degree course is
offered under the following categories:
1. Regular (Full-Time)
2. Sponsored

Graduate
Aptitude Test in Engineering or popularly known as GATE is a national-level engineering
exam conducted every year for admission to postgraduate and doctorate level
courses at IITs, NITs and IIITs. The exam is jointly conducted by seven IITs (Bombay,
Delhi, Kanpur, Guwahati, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore.
Various
government and private institutions across the country accept the GATE score
for admission to their M.Tech programs. Moreover, Public Sector Units (PSUs) also recruit engineers
through GATE.
In
2020, GATE will be organized by the Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT) Delhi in online mode on February 1, 2, 8 and 9. GATE 2020
will be conducted in 25 papers including the newly added subject, Biomedical Engineering. Application forms for GATE
2020 will be available from September 3, 2019, and the last date to
apply for the same is September 24. GATE scores will be valid for a period of
three years from the date of the release of the GATE 2020 result i.e.
