    Well, yes. You can study an MTech degree in a different branch than your BTech, given you meet the minimum eligibility requirements and pass the GATE exam in the relevant discipline. Several top colleges prefer you to have done your BTech at least in a related branch, while others follow a more flexible approach.

    Interestingly, recently IIT Delhi has introduced cross-branch M.Tech options in the 3rd year of your BTech degree, where you can choose to pursue M.Tech in any specialisation in the third year of your BTech course and graduate with a dual degree at the end of 5 years.
