Eligibility & Criteria Applicants shall have the eligibility criteria as mentioned below.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering/Technology (4 years after 10+2 or 3 years after
B.Sc./Diploma in Engineering/Technology) - Currently in the final year or
already completed. M. Sc./ MCA or equivalent Master’s degree in any branch of Science /
Mathematics / Statistics / Computer Applications or equivalent. Professional Society Examinations (equivalent to B.E./B.Tech./B. Arch.)

India, AMICE by the Institute of Civil Engineers-India). Applicants should have scored a minimum of 60% in the qualifying degree.
GATE qualified applicants are given direct admission provided they qualify through interview conducted before the last date of application submission. If not qualified, applicants can choose the paper appropriate to the discipline of their qualifying degree if Amrita Graduate Entrance Test (AGET) exam is available in such a discipline.
