Applications have been invited by CMC, Vellore for admission to MS and PhD Bioengineering degrees, awarded by Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, for the Academic Year 2012-13.

Candidates should have an undergraduate degree in engineering, preferably Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Computer Science or equivalent, and a Masters degree in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering or equivalent with exposure to advanced biology. A qualifying score in GATE is required.

Candidates must download the application form fromhttp://home.cmcvellore.ac.in  Filled in applications are to be enclosed with Rs.1000/- (Application & Registration fees Rs.1000/-) by demand draft in favour of

Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH), Department of Biomedical Engineering offers MTech in Biomedical Engineering.

Students with following qualifications are eligible to apply

(a) BTech/BE (or equivalent 4 year programme) in Bioengineering, Biomedical, Chemical, Electrical, Electronics and communications, Electronics, Instrumentation, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Metallurgy and Material Science

(b) MSc or equivalents (2 years) in Physics, Chemistry, Biophysics, Ceramics, Electronics, Computer Science, Materials Science, Physiology

(c) MBBS, BDS MPharm, or equivalent programme with duration of 4 years or more (eg.B.P.Th, B.O.Th)

(d) BPharm, BVSc (programme with duration 4 years and above)

For admission into M.Tech or MS in Engineering everyone have their own reasons and they prepare GATE accordingly. Few students have time and high targets and they start preparing for it well in advance. Most of them take a year break too to attend some coaching classes for making it to IITs.On the same time, we often see students who are very enthusiastic but could not make it to GATE for some reasons. Few energetic faculty members engineering colleges and universities often try to find a way to get into a good college with minimum or no GATE score. There many reasons, one of them is final exams for engineering or internal test fall during same time making it difficult for them to compete with regular Engineering students or student taking coaching class.

As you all might be preparing for the GATE 2011 exam so as to secure a seat in IIT or NIT’s or other premier institutions of the country. It becomes necessary that you must be aware of what happens just before the GATE exam?

I am writing this article to give you some useful tips for the upcoming exam

• GATE exam in the end doesn’t test your ability to know but your ability to express and analyze moreover.
