No, you can not take admission to the MTech course at the Division of Mechanical Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, without the GATE exam. To be eligible for admission to the course at the college, the candidate has to score a minimum of 50% aggregate in graduation in a relevant stream from any recognised board. Eligible students will have to appear for the GATE exam and score a valid rank to be eligible for the course. There is no management quota or any other quota available at the college for direct admission.

For most M.E./M.Tech programs at IISc, GATE is the standard and strongly recommended path. However, there are certain programs and research fellowships where IISc may consider other criteria such as sponsorship from recognised organisations, exceptional academic background, or internal IISc entrance processes. These are niche opportunities and limited in number. If you're aiming for direct entry, it's best to consult IISc's specific notifications. But for most, a solid GATE score opens the door to this incredible academic ecosystem.
