- Restriction: DASA is a distinct overseas route: the 2026 brochure requires accepted four/five-year engineering/technology or equivalent qualifications, GRE Verbal + Quantitative at least 280, and the stated residence/nationality categories.
- Restriction: NIT Tiruchirappalli’s DASA special restriction requires at least 60% or CGPA 6.5/10. DASA branch equivalence and any further programme conditions require its own verification; a CCMT GATE combination is not a substitute for GRE.

Apply through the route matching the qualification, nationality and intended cohort. Other routes require their own admission and fee-category verification.

## Admissions

A two-year full-time postgraduate programme in Energy Engineering. The academic structure includes core and elective study with the programme’s project, laboratory or studio components. Admission depends on the exact qualifying-degree and entrance-paper combination.

These are the documented requirements for the named admission route. Academic subjects, marks, entrance paper and any nationality conditions must be considered together.

- Qualifying-degree aggregate: 60% or CGPA 6.5/10 for GEN/EWS/OBC-NCL; 55% or 6.0/10 for SC/ST/PwD. If both marks and CGPA are given, CGPA governs; prohibited percentage/CGPA conversion is not used.
- Regular CCMT 2026 requires a valid GATE score from 2024, 2025 or 2026. The qualifying degree and GATE paper must appear together in this programme’s mapping.
- Accepted GATE paper codes in this programme: AE, BT, CE, CH, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT, PE, PI, XE. Each paper is restricted to its paired degree group; the list does not make every paper valid for every branch.
- Accepted qualifying degrees are the exact named branches in the programme-specific admission groups below. Read the degree and entrance paper together, including any ordered group priority.
- Candidates of NRI origin with overseas degrees need AIU recognition and the valid entrance score under the counselling notice; other overseas routes have separate rules.

Steps:

1. Choose the exact programme and admission category in its institutional or central counselling application.
2. Submit qualifying records and the specified entrance result, complete selection or allocation and accept the written offer.
3. Complete original-document verification and confirm tuition category, joining instructions and accommodation before reporting.

- Document: Qualifying school/degree certificate and complete marksheets, with the required subjects
- Document: Specified entrance examination result or scorecard and any required qualification-equivalence evidence
- Application document: Identity and nationality documents and the programme offer/allotment letter
- Application document: Applicable category, disability, income and migration/transfer documents
- Application document: Passport, visa and the required overseas-route records where applicable
The verified 2026 postgraduate cohort reported in August, with orientation on 12 August and classwork from 13 August 2026. Future application dates and joining instructions require the next cohort’s notice.


## Teaching phases

- 2-year full-time programme (English): Disciplinary coursework and the degree’s laboratory, studio, practical, project or internship requirements; confirm the exact curriculum and approved training locations.
