How is the MTech (CSE) program in Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata? What are the placement stats for an MTech (CSE)?

RD
Raashi Das Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata (2020)

Heritage Institute of Technology is a very popular and reputed engineering institute and provides very good facilities to its students. According to the reviews online, here’s what I got to know.

  • This college is very good to pursue B.Tech in CSE but not a good option to do M.Tech in CSE. 
  • And this is not only for CS, but for all other departments. 
  • Although the faculty and the academics are very good in this college, the placements for M.Tech are not upto the mark and it is better not to choose this college to pursue M.Tech.
  • To do M.Tech, it will be better to do it from IIT but you will have to appear for GATE exams to get admission in IITs. 
  • And do note that you will have to be in the top 1000 in GATE to get selected for M.Tech courses at IIT. 
  • In West Bengal, there is also Jadavpur University which can also be a very good option to pursue M.Tech in CSE. 
  • You can also appear for the examination PGET and if you can clear this exam, then you will be eligible to take admission in any government engineering college under WBUT. 

Hence, instead of taking admission in Heritage Institute of Technology for M.Tech in CSE, it will be better to prepare for GATE exam and qualify for IIT or else take admission in some other better colleges for M.Tech.

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Here is a comparison of IIT Hyderabad CSE and IIT Guwahati based on some common parameters.

  • Campus: IIT Guwahati has a much better campus than IIT Hyderabad as the latter is still in its construction phase. 
  • NIRF Ranking: IIT Hyderabad Overall ranking by NIRF is 14 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 while IIT Guwahati Overall ranking by NIRF is 8 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022.
  • Faculty: The CSE department of IIT Guwahati has a higher number of faculty members than IIT Hyderabad. Faculty members at IIT Hyderabad are young and dynamic, always ready to explore new ideas. They also frequently change the pedagogy style to break the monotony and keep up with the recent trends. IIT Guwahati is quite lacking in this aspect. 
  • Locational advantage: Being located in close proximity to the IT hub, IIT Hyderabad offers a huge locational advantage thus increasing exposure through invited talks and collaborations with industry experts in IIT Hyderabad.
  • Research: As far as the research is concerned, IIT Hyderabad clearly is the winner here. The CSE department of IIT Hyderabad has many better-ranked papers in comparison to the CSE department of IIT Guwahati. 
  • Computing facilities: IIT Hyderabad's computing facilities are great.

Sparing the campus issue, CSE from IIT Hyderabad seems to be a better option than CSE from IIT Guwahati.

Which one is a better career option, ISB's Data Science Certification course or an Executive M.Tech on Data Science from IIT Hyderabad?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

It’s difficult to determine the best career option among Data Science Certification courses and an Executive MTech in Data Science from IIT Hyderabad unless I know what your specific goals are. If you are on the lookout for a degree, then an MTech in IIT Hyderabad will suffice for it, but if you are fine with a certificate with a brand name then ISB’s Data Science Certification course will work in your favor.

In my opinion, what matters more than the institute is what you have learned from it. Institutes are just a stepping stone in shaping your career and it's the individual's intellect and will to succeed that eventually drives them to succeed.

Moreover, Analytics is a very broad field, and only after determining what you want to do, can you actually decide the best Institute for it. You can find many institutes, training companies, and MOOCs for the same. It's very crucial to determine the best source for you in order to kick-start a successful career.

Which is better: M.Tech in CSE from IIT Hyderabad or M.tech in theoretical computer science in IIT Guwahati?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : May 20th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

Assuming that you are research-oriented, I suggest you choose IIT Guwahati MTech in theoretical CS rather than MTech in CSE from IIT Hyderabad. From the choice of your research-related subjects, theoretical CS seems to be the best option. Moreover, the Mathematics and Computer Science department of IIT Guwahati is extremely good with a knowledgeable faculty base.

MTech at IIT Hyderabad on the other hand is more focused on campus-related work rather than actual theoretical knowledge of the subjects. 

It’s important to check if the research interests of the faculty align with your subject interests.
