IIT Kharagpur introduces additional MTech seats for the 2026-27 academic year under the Director’s Platinum Jubilee Scheme. The initiative expands postgraduate opportunities in selected strategic and interdisciplinary areas.
The additional seats are offered through participating departments, schools and centres at the institute. The scheme aims to accommodate more qualified students and strengthen advanced education in areas connected with technology, innovation and research.
Admission under the scheme follows IIT Kharagpur’s existing MTech eligibility requirements. Eligible candidates generally require a valid GATE score. IIT graduates with the prescribed cumulative grade point average may receive an exemption from the GATE requirement, subject to the institute’s admission rules.
Candidates should check the list of participating programmes, available seats and application instructions before applying. They must also ensure that their academic background matches the eligibility conditions of the chosen discipline.
The expansion forms part of IIT Kharagpur’s Platinum Jubilee initiatives and supports the institute’s focus on postgraduate education, research capacity and interdisciplinary learning.
