My friend has the opportunity to attend MTech inter rhe at IISc Bangalore. She was called on the first day itself where she sat waiting and was eventually summoned.
As she entered the room, the panelists asked for her introduction. They bombarded her with both technical as well as non-technical questions. The non-technical ones looked like
They kept counter-questioning her based on her answers. Following this was a round of technical questions. I have only mentioned the most important ones
The interview lasted for 40 minutes. What she learned from her experience was that you need to focus on your basics while preparing. Also, try to answer them honestly because they will counter-question you. She was also surprised that they did not even care to ask a single question about Math and the whole interview was a new experience.
The interviews for the M.Tech (nanoscience and engineering) program are conducted on the campus of IISc Bangalore. The interviews usually take around 3 days to get completed. There will be 4 panels with 4 faculties each. Generally, around 200-300 participants are called for the interview. The interviews start with a few general questions, regarding the preference for the subject and introduction. Then the technical part of the interview starts, the interviews are not very technical or difficult, the questions asked in the interview are aimed to test the student and how eager the student’s basic knowledge is in the subject. Students are also asked questions from their UG Projects. A typical interview ranges for 40 minutes to an hour. To prepare for the interview, clear your basic understanding of the subject and follow the syllabus for undergraduate and GATE.

Overall, the placement conditions are decent and not all students get placed. Most CS companies allow only BTech students to sit for placements and therefore Mech students end up in service-based companies like TCS, and IBM (GBS). This poor placement scenario stems from the outdated CSE curriculum at NIT Rourkela. The curriculum focuses on theoretical concepts only and students are not exposed to practical experiences.
So, I will suggest you go for CSE M.tech at NIT Rourkela only if you are unemployed after your BTech or you want to pursue your career academically. Joining this course on the pretext of getting better jobs will not be a wise decision.
VLSI is an excellent branch for those opting for Master's in IIT Roorkee. Apart from CSE, VLSI is the only branch offering high packages to its MTech students.
Most students are offered internships at Intel which are most likely to get converted to PPO under excellent performance. Some of the companies that offer the highest packages are Intel (23 LPA), Qualcomm (25 LPA), Texas Instrument, Samsung Semiconductor, etc.
Most MTech Electrical students tend to go for VLSI because of the huge packages. VLSI jobs have excellent job locations such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, etc
Thus, VLSI has a great scope not just in IIT Roorkee but other newer and older IITs too.
BITS Pilani offers decent placement support to students from the M.Tech. and B.Tech. batches. The chances are higher for the one who has a master’s in Mechanical Engineering. BITS Pilani conducts the placement process in two semesters. During the first semester, about 15-20 companies, including Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, SanDisk, Nvidia, Cisco, and so on, visit the campus. In the second semester, the placement is done based on your CGPA, as the companies mostly prefer students who score a CGPA above 8.
The M.Tech program in Computer Science (CS) at IIIT Lucknow is worth considering if you cannot get into other similar institutions such as IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, IIIT Allahabad, NIT Warangal, NIT Trichy, and NIT Karnataka.
So all in all, IIIT Lucknow is a very good option for doing an M.Tech which will sharpen your skills and prepare you for the journey ahead.
The packages offered to the students of NIT Trichy who are pursuing M.Tech ME according to what branches they are in are as follows:
Finally, most of the students in the civil branch are not seen in high regard for me. The placement percentage is from 50 to 70, unfortunately.
