Basically, a comparison between the colleges can be made according to the choices and interests of the students. The various factors are taken into consideration when we are choosing M.Tech in VLSI. 

• NIT Goa owns a very attractive and appealing infrastructure. 
• At the same time, the college usually focuses on the holistic development of students rather than just focusing on academics. 
• Also, NIT Goa has well-qualified faculty members imparting quality education to all the students. 
• Also check the fees, placement statistics, and the number of students who got placed in various companies. 
• The course fee for M.Tech students is affordable, unlike many other popular colleges.

NIT Goa has affordable fees and decent placement offers can be a preferred option for many. So before making the choice weigh all the pros and cons before getting admission in the college.

Welding technology has the distinct advantage of having some organizations who come to NIT Trichy solely to hire welding masters. In core welding firms, more than 50% placement is guaranteed. During the placement process, many software and mechanical firms visit the campus. 

• According to the recent placement highlights, the placement average for Welding Technology was around 60%. The placement average is less this year due to the ongoing pandemic. 
• The average CTC offered in the placement is 7-9 LPA. 
• The major recruiting companies that visit the campus are Tata Steel, Caterpillar, Lincoln, etc. NDT companies also recruit from Welding. If you have the required skills you can also sit for software and data science roles. 
• Almost 60% of the branch get placed in Mechanical core while the remaining 40% get placed in sectors like software, marketing, etc.

If you have good CGPA and decent communication skills then getting into core sectors from Welding Engineering at NIT Trichy will not be that difficult.

To decide a course’s worth depends not only on the subjects dealt with but also on the aptitude/expectations of the student. 

It would be good to keep in mind that power electronics is quite a vast field. Electronics Design and Technology is like any other specialization offered by NITC.

If you go in-depth you get to know that this course is a blend of VLSI and embedded/system design.If you are interested in the VLSI domain, then EDT is definitely your way. Most of the subjects are shared with Microelectronics & VLSI branches.

Okay, let us take a look at the placement scenario:

• Placements are a bit off for M.Tech students relative to B.Tech students at NITC.
• Several core VLSI companies (TI, Broadcom, Nvidia, Synopsys, etc) end up hiring mostly B.Tech batch.
• It also depends on your academics too. 
• Intel usually hires interns during the second year. 
• These internship opportunities are available only to VLSI and EDT students mainly.

Though, the chance for placement in core companies directly is relatively less. But, if you manage to maintain your CGPA on or above 8 you have a chance to get into a good internship opportunity. There will be internship opportunities available in companies like Broadcom, Intel, and Cypress.

Most of these guys selected will be converted to full-time after one year of internship. You can do an internship and Second-year M.Tech main project at the same time. If you are really good you can also try for an internship from other branches like Telecom and Signal Processing.
