- Eligible: Applicants meeting the exact academic, examination and admission-category requirements below
- Restriction: Regular CCMT degree/GATE groups for this exact programme:
- Restriction: Group 1: B.E./B.Tech. in Aeronautical Engineering; Aerospace Engineering; Automobile Engineering; Automotive Engineering; Automotive Technology; Electrical Engineering; Electrical and Mechanical Engineering; Industrial Manufacturing Engineering; Industrial Metallurgy; Industrial and Production Engineering; Instrumentation Engineering; Manufacturing Engineering; Manufacturing Engineering and Automation; Manufacturing Process; Manufacturing Science and Engineering; Manufacturing Technology; Material Science and Engineering; Material Science and Metallurgical Engineering; Material Science and Technology; Materials and Metallurgical Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Mechanical Engineering (Design and Manufacturing); Mechanical Engineering (Repair and Maintenance); Mechanical and Automation Engineering; Mechatronics; Metallurgical Engineering; Metallurgical Engineering and Material Science; Metallurgical and Materials Engineering; Metallurgical and Materials Technology; Metallurgy; Metallurgy and Material Technology; Metallurgy and Materials; Mining Engineering; Naval Architecture and Ship Building Engineering; Nuclear Engineering; Nuclear Science and Technology; Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture; Petroleum Technology; Production Engineering; Production Engineering and Management; Production and Industrial Engineering; Shipbuilding Engineering. Accepted GATE/JAM papers for this exact degree set: Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Production and Industrial Engineering, Engineering Sciences.
- 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 Welding 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, EE, IN, ME, MN, MT, NM, 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.
