My sister was a part of this course at IIT KGP and she found it extremely interesting and aligned with her interests. The course is industry oriented covering a number of topics like
Basically, all aspects of product design are covered under this course. In the First Semester, it covers topics related to Embedded systems, Control Engineering and Software Engineering and in the second semester, you are free to choose electives of your choice.
As far as placements are concerned, top big names like Robert Bosch, KPIT, Cognizant and Cypress Semiconductor visit the campus for placements.
However, interdisciplinary courses face a lot of issues during placements since this course is not known to many companies. This is because it falls under a different center named ATDC(Advanced Technology Development Center)
To prepare for the interview one needs to go through concepts of signals and systems, processors and controllers, C language, and Assembly language.

M.Tech CS at ISI Kolkata isn’t just for CSE graduates. The student crowd includes students from all engineering streams. So, in the first year, ISI encourages students from non-CSE backgrounds to learn coding and study computer science courses. While CSE students are encouraged to take Mathematics courses such as Algebra, or Probability.
Second year course curriculum can seem a little boring for students with CS background. As the major chunk of the curriculum includes Algorithms, Networking, DBMS, etc. But you should use this opportunity to brush up on these subjects. You will also have the option to do research work, during the course tenure. Pursuing a research project can be really helpful if you are interested in doing a Ph.D. or an internship afterward.
In the second year, you will be allowed to choose a course of your choice. Try to take a subject that is relevant to your thesis work. The coursework in the third year can get extremely hectic, you will have to work on your thesis, start preparing for placement or PhD, and work on five subjects.
M.Tech students (boys) of IIT BHU are allotted Aryabhatta Hostel I (Block A&B) and II (Block C&D).
It is a three story building that contains a large common room with TV, and a large dining hall. The hostel mess serves decent quality food. The hostel rooms are quite spacious, and they are two seaters. But whenever there’s a shortage of rooms, three students are allotted for each room, instead of two. But even then, there’s ample space for each occupant.
Each block has a garden. The washrooms are cleaned every afternoon, and are equipped with handwash and geysers. The two hostel canteens have all the basic items (including the basic food items), and their timings are 1:30PM-3AM and 7AM-10PM. On each floor, in each block, hot and cold purified water is available in the coolers. Each occupant is given a wooden cot, a table and a chair, and each room contains two cupboards. Decent wifi facilities are made available. The hostel celebrates every major festival with enthusiasm.
Overall, the M.Tech hostel at IIT BHU is quite decent.
IIIT Delhi is an excellent engineering college known for its huge contributions to research work. Its CSE branch is the most sought-after branch offering excellent job opportunities to its students.

Since you are considering TCS Digital as another option, I am assuming you have decent coding skills. So, you can build your profile while pursuing an MTech in CSE. Unless you have any financial constraints, it's better to complete your MTech first.
The choice between IISc Bangalore CSA and MTech TA or a job at Amazon depends on your preferences and future prospects. If you have a passion for software/application development, then the SDET role at Amazon will give you an edge overcome who chooses to do MTech first. If you are worried about acquiring CS knowledge, trust me MTech is not the only way.
Nowadays big companies offer amazing courses that keep you at par with industry trends. Moreover, as an Amazon SDET, you will get the opportunity to work with some of the most talented engineers from top universities around the world which will be an enriching experience.
However, if your interest lies in core computer science, then an M.Tech at IISc Bangalore will give you a better understanding of core CS subjects. An MTech will help you to secure jobs at FAANG, such as Amazon AWS or Google’s Core Search team. An MTech will also be beneficial if you are looking for specialized jobs like CPU Performance Architect at AMD or AI Compiler Engineer at Facebook. The major criterion for such kind of job is to have a research experience in relevant fields. An M.Tech from IISc will also open your doors to other opportunities like Applied Scientist/Machine Learning roles at FAANG. You can also get pursue Ph.D. from a top foreign university. after completing your MTech. Both options are very good and have their own sets of pros and cons.
It depends upon you whether you want to pursue your dream of getting a government job or pursue higher studies further. Either you pursue M.Tech from IITs or go for PSU jobs. It totally depends upon you what your interest level and what do you want to achieve as both are very different career options.
It finally depends on you and how you want your career to be shaped further. Because both have entirely different outcomes. Both can be equally good for your career if you are dedicated enough.
These questions need to be answered step-wise:
However, if you do not wish to get into research after your PG and instead plan to join the workforce, I would suggest you to rather go for IIT Bombay or IIT Kharagpur.
Thus, I have made an effort to give you my perspective on this question and share my knowledge to help you make a more informed choice.
NIT Silchar is a prestigious engineering college that imparts quality education in various fields. However, the PG courses aren't very well-known and only the UG courses have gained fame over time. It is therefore advisable to check the profiles of the teachers in the respective department.
Additionally, NIT Silchar is located in a remote location and you might find it difficult to procure your equipment for projects. MTech depends on the quality of the research and project you have completed and if you fail to accomplish it your MTech degree is invaluable.
Most companies visiting NIT Silchar prefer BTech students to MTech students. So getting a good job let alone a core job is very difficult here. The institute has no international ties so your future prospects may narrow down further.
Consider all the above factors before making your final decision!
