Delhi University will use GATE scores for admission to its M.Tech programme in Microwave and Communication Engineering for the first time after AICTE approval. Candidates with valid GATE scores will get first preference, while vacant seats will later be filled through CUET-PG merit.

New Delhi: The Delhi University has decided to accept GATE scores for admission to its M.Tech programme in Microwave and Communication Engineering, marking the first time the score will be used to secure a seat in a postgraduate degree in the varsity.

According to the university notification, the move was introduced after DU received an AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) approval for the course.

Haneet Gandhi, dean of admissions, DU, said, "We have used GATE score for PhD admission before, but this is the first time it is being used for a PG course. We will use the GATE score first, but if the seats do not get filled, then we will also use CUET-PG scores for the next round."

Gandhi added that while the course is not new, Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) scores are being accepted from this year, following AICTE approval.
