  • There is a possibility that some of the high scorers are currently in the pre-final year of their programme.
  • From past few years, various PSUs require GATE score as a prerequisite. Some of the high-score GATE qualified students may prefer PSUs instead of pursuing MTech.
  • There may be a variation in number of admission seats of a programme.
• There are some institutes who take their own entrance examination for PG programmes. Some of these are: IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, CSIR, DAIICT, ISI Kolkata, Thapar university, ISM Dhanbad and BITS Pilani.

• Read the information brochure of each institute carefully. Look for the various interdisciplinary/MS/MSc/MTech(RA) options available in each institute.

The inaugural Kingsbury Scholarship was awarded to Catherine Stevenson, who started her MEng course in Aeronautics in October 2012. Through YINI she took a placement to work for a year at Scottish Power before she started at Imperial.

“My placement through YINI at Scottish Power was invaluable in helping understand how engineering and technology are practically applied to industrial solutions, and I’m sure this will help give me a head-start on my course at Imperial. The placement also helped instil in me a valuable work ethic and a useful glimpse of the working world as an engineer that has made me all the more determined to qualify as a chartered engineer after I graduate. I am delighted and honoured to have been awarded this prestigious scholarship, and am very excited to now be starting at Imperial.”

Note

• Under the new Combined Award Policy for Clarendon Scholarship holders that came into effect from the 2011-12 academic year Clarendon scholars may be in receipt of a funding package covering tuition fees, college fees and living expenses from multiple sources, and the value of the funding package from these sources may equal up to the total of a standard Clarendon Scholarship plus an additional £2,500 p/a for living expenses
