## Admissions

M.Tech. Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is a two-year residential engineering master’s at IIT Madras. Core and elective courses are combined with project work in the named discipline. Programme-specific qualifying subjects and GATE papers apply.

Regular 2026 GATE/IIT graduate entry is described below. The exact degree and accepted GATE paper must both fit the programme; sponsored and international admission have separate conditions.

- Hold a recognised engineering/technology/architecture degree, four-year BS/BSc, or eligible science master’s/equivalent qualification in the accepted subject group below.
- Eligible subjects: Metallurgical/Materials Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Ceramics; Mechanical Engineering; Manufacturing Engineering; master’s Materials Science; Production and Industrial Engineering.
- Also eligible: Production Engineering; master’s Nanotechnology.
- Metallurgical/Materials Engineering degrees: GATE MT/XE. Other listed eligible degrees: GATE CH/ME/MT/PI/XE.
- The IIT B.Tech. graduate route with CGPA≥8/10 may apply without GATE, subject to the department’s review.
- Other-discipline, distance/correspondence or recognised professional-membership applicants need curriculum review and any suitability assessment specified for the route.

1. Confirm the exact degree-and-GATE combination, register separately with COAP, then submit the IIT Madras programme application. COAP is an offer-acceptance portal, not the application.
2. Upload academic records, scorecard and relevant certificates; applicants using the IIT graduate exemption follow the department’s review route.
3. Review the COAP/institutional offer and complete admission payment, original-document verification and the cohort’s joining requirements.
