International Students
Foreign nationals (FNs) and non-resident Indians (NRIs) are welcome to apply for the M.Tech. programme. Such applicants can obtain a waiver of the entrance examination with valid GRE and TOEFL scores. Only those students whose undergraduate education was in an Anglophone country (i.e. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, UK, and the US) are exempt from TOEFL. FNs and NRIs who are short listed for the interview, can also seek waiver of the interview by submitting three letters of recommendation.

Working Professionals

Working professionals applying for the M.Tech. programme must get leave for the duration of the M.Tech. programme. Such applications have to be sent through the employer (or accompanied by a letter from a supervisor or other authorized representative of the employer stating that there is no objection to the applicant's joining IIITB as a student). Working students will also need sponsorship from the employer, or obtain support from other sources to meet their costs, as scholarships and other financial support are not available to working students.
