Subject: Request to Allow MCA to Apply for M.Tech in Data Science / Artificial Intelligence (Day Courses) Through GATE

Our Concerns

MCA students are eligible for GATE in CS, yet JU does not allow them to apply
for the MTech in Data Science and AI
The GATE examination organized by IITs recognizes MCA graduates as eligible for admission into premium technical postgraduate programs in Computer Science, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence.
However, Jadavpur University restricts MCA students from applying to M.Tech Day courses in the same fields.
This creates a contradiction between national academic standards and JU’s admission policy.

Top IITs and NITs allow MCA & related backgrounds for Data Science/AI M.Tech — why not JU?
Major institutes like IITs, NITs, and leading universities across India allow students with MCA and strong mathematical backgrounds to pursue M.Tech in Data Science and AI.
Jadavpur University, being a premier institute, should align with these national standards and provide equal academic opportunities to deserving students.

Our Request

We earnestly request the authorities to kindly:

Review and revise the eligibility criteria
Allow MCA graduates to apply for M.Tech (Day Courses) in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence through GATE

Provide equal opportunities for all students who are academically capable and qualified as per GATE norms
