I have a few friends pursuing MTech Applied Mechanics from MNNIT Allahabad. According to their review, the Department of Applied Mechanics at MNNIT is known for its rigid and research-oriented teachers. 

If you plan to complete a Ph.D. and further studies after M.tech then this course is a good option.

However, if you are opting for MTech just to prepare for BTech level competitive examinations, then it will be better not to choose this department. 

MTech students do get placement offers in the on-campus placement drive. If you work hard and maintain good grades, you are likely to secure a placement offer. Many private companies visit the campus for placement drives. Securing a placement offer depends more on your effort.

If you compare IIIT Allahabad placement cell with MNNIT Allahabad, then go for IIIT Allahabad. According to some of my friends studying there IIIT Allahabad would be a better career choice. 

The following table will show you the placement record of IIIT Allahabad or MNNIT Allahabad.

IIIT Allahabad has a better placement cell. One of my relatives studied at IIITA and suggested that its alumni are wider and stronger. IIITA also keeps up with the pace with industry and market needs. 

IIITA some of the top recruiters are Google, Adobe, Accenture, Amazon, HCL, IBM, LinkedIn, Expedia, Wipro, and many more. The highest salary package offered to IIITA students is INR 43 LPA, while the average is INR 20.83 LPA.

Therefore, if you are considering taking admission between IIIT Allahabad or MNNIT Allahabad, then choose the former, as its placement cell is better..

For a candidate with a GATE score of 611 and a rank of 5900, admission in design or thermal mechanics at NIT Surathkal is not possible in general. But, there are chances of admission of such a candidate in the present years as most candidates with similar ranks are either from IITs or NITs. 

The points below give some insights regarding the scenario of admission.

• A candidate with a rank of 5900 has some chances of admission in design or thermal mechanics but in the spot counseling rounds.
• There are usually zero to very few placements in such departments at all institutes in India, whether it is an IIT, NIT, or any private college. The GATE coaching centers mislead students by telling them about fake placement records and so, students jump into its preparation. There are very few jobs in PSUs for such subjects, which is an added disadvantage.
• For students interested in applied mechanics or design mechanics, BARC is a better option than M.Tech. But, there are instances of injustice in interviews and very little selection of candidates, which leads to excessive competition.

These are some key highlights regarding the admission in design/thermal/applied mechanics at institutes like NIT Surathkal and MNNIT Allahabad and the outcome of such courses.

Yes, IIIT Allahabad is also a decent institute, providing a similar graded placement as MNNIT Allahabad. There are several similarities between the two institutes, with some added advantages of being in IIIT Allahabad too.
