What is better between an engineering degree from Mumbai University or from any autonomous institute like VJTI, KJ Somaiya or SPIT?
You may have confused SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology) with SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering). SPIT is not an autonomous institute. The courses offered in SPIT are Computers, IT, Electronics, and Electronics and Telecom.
Deciding Factors:
If you are looking for any particular program, then you should narrow down your choice of college based on courses. If you are more college-driven then you should go through the following points to make the right decision.
- First, you should ask yourself about what do you want out of your engineering degree, whether it is academics, extracurricular, or co-curricular.
- Also, it depends on your future goals. Whether you want good placements, seek higher education, or go for start-ups.
VJTI:
Considering all the factors, VJTI is the best option.
- It is an autonomous college with a strong foundation. It also has a broad alumni base.
- All these factors result in better internship opportunities, better placing companies, and a better network in education.
- For extracurriculars, most of the engineering colleges in Mumbai offer almost the same opportunities. However, Thandomal, DJSCOE, and RAIT offer mesmerizing events. However, since extracurricular is not the sole factor of consideration, VJTI will be sufficient.
The placement statistics of recent years at VJTI are as follows.
|
Average CTC |
6.8 LPA |
|
Highest CTC |
27 LPA |
Academics and co-curricular do not depend on the institute only. It is what you make of it. VJTI is the best choice as it provides a good network and exposure.
Preference Order:
The preference order of the institutes other than VJTI is as follows.
- Placement- SPIT>DJSCOE>KJSCOE
- Reputation- SPIT>KJSCOE>DJSCOE
- Academics- SPIT>DJSCOE>KJSCOE
- Alumni- DJSCOE>KJSCOE>SPIT
- Extracurricular- DJSCOE>SPIT>KJSCOE
If you get admission to VJTI you should definitely opt for it. You should consider what course you are choosing and research about the facilities and placements. For example, CS at SPIT has better placement than ME at VJTI or any of the other colleges mentioned here.
Also, autonomous colleges have better administration in MU. They have a better examination schedule, quick result release and you will have higher chances of securing a good CGPA.
How was your interview experience at IIIT Hyderabad for MS ECE?
I had applied for the MS ECE at IIIT Hyderabad as I was interested in Robotics research. Around 22 candidates, including me, were scheduled for an interview that day and a few were absent.
I was interviewed at 4:30 pm. A total of 4 professors interviewed us. The professors first asked me if I sat for GATE and my performance in it. Then I was asked if I had applied for other colleges. When I told them that I rejected NIT Goa because of not so good placements over there, they asked me if I was interested in placements. To this I replied that I was not that interested in placements and my plan was to go into research.
Then they asked me about the field in which I wanted to do my research. I replied that I was interested in Robotics. I supported my answer by saying that I have done my final year project in robotics and worked in the automation department of Godrej. I was then asked what I would want to improve at my company. After this basic question-answer series, another professor of IIIT Hyderabad, who was into Robotics research, joined the panel. He went through my final year project report.
Meanwhile, the panel asked me about my strong subjects and the topics that I was well-versed in. I was asked to write equations and draw graphs on a blackboard and was questioned on the topics that I had selected. I chose to be questioned on Analog and Digital Communications, except the NOISE part.
The interview went for 25 minutes. The Robotics professor did not ask any questions and simply reviewed my project report. Overall, the interview experience was great and I cleared it and secured admission into IIIT Hyderabad.
How are the placements for an Mtech Electrical in Power System and Power Electronics at IIT Madras?
Generally, in the electrical branch, almost 80-90% of students get placed. The highest salary package offered is 1 CPA. The lowest salary package offered is 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Jane Street, Google, and Microsoft. Almost 60% of students got internships in P&G and Dr. Reddy Laboratory. The top roles offered are engineer in petroleum industries and analyst in pharmaceuticals.
However, Power Systems and Power Electronics branch has its own shortcomings.
- Although most companies of EE allow Power students to sit for placements, if they lack knowledge of ECE subjects of GATE, they cannot clear the written test
- You will have limited options unless you are proficient in VLSI. Interviewers may not consider you if you haven’t done VLSI courses
- Core companies of Power Electronics hardly visit the campus. Those that do visit, either require a high cutoff like 9 CGPA like Enphase Systems or offer a package lower than 8 LPA.
So what is the solution to getting better packages as a student of Power Systems and Power Electronics? Well, you have two options
- Either, do some VLSI courses offered at IIT Madras itself. This will get you a good package from top companies like Intel and AMD.
- Or become proficient in coding
These two ways can save you from getting a below-average package. It’s highly advisable to do some courses not related to power engineering to increase your chances of employment because most core companies offer packages lower than 10 LPA.
How good is the integrated circuits and systems M.Tech programme at IIT Madras?
If you are considering pursuing an M.Tech program in India, the Integrated Circuits and Systems (ICS) group at IIT Madras is an excellent choice. This program is considered to be the best M.Tech program in India and is even better than M.Tech from IISC or any other old IITs. Here are some reasons why:
- Tie-ups with industries like Texas Instruments: The ICS group has tie-ups with various industries, including Texas Instruments, which provides students with the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects.

Which course is better: IIT, Madras M.S. by research or IIIT Hyderabad M.Tech in computer science?
The MS program is solely research-oriented and has minimal research work, while M.Tech is coursework based and has very less research angle. It's up to you to decide which aspect is more suitable for you and then only choose the program.
The subject or area of your work defines your MS program because the entire research will be based on that area only. Chronologically, an MS student has to go through these
- Choose 5 courses related to your area of work and try to complete them within a year
- Once you are done, start your research work and publish your paper
- Sit for placements and get placed with a good package
- Synopsis meeting after which you have to write your these
- You are ready to leave IIT Madras
There is no fixed duration of the degree and one can even complete it in 2 years. It all depends on your capabilities and your area of research. Some even convert their MS degree into Ph.D. after the 1st year. The faculty pool is very cooperative and guides you continuously throughout your research work. Some important research topics include
- Computer Architecture
- Machine learning
- NLP
- Speech
As far as IIIT Hyderabad is concerned, its MTech program is coursework-based will little research in comparison to MS. So make a good choice of both institute and program based on your career prospects and preferences.
