How is the M.Tech life in JNTUH Hyderabad?
Life as an M.Tech student at JNTUH is quite satisfactory. We usually have 3 classes a day of 90 minutes each, for 2 semesters. We get the other 12 months for our project work. The classes are held for 5 days a week and 75% attendance is compulsory. Lab hours vary according to the respective department.

Is NIT Hamirpur a good college for M.Tech in any specialization of Civil Engineering?
NIT Hamirpur B.Tech Civil Engineering department lacks a research environment and proper lab facilities for both UG and PG programs. As far as academics are concerned, the department is ahead of many NITs. However, the infrastructure and teaching methodology are not in line with new-age requirements. Even the placement scenario for M.Tech Civil at NIT Hamirpur isn't good.
In comparison to other branches, the Department of Environmental Engineering and Energy Resources has better research facilities. For an M.Tech in Civil Engineering, I would like you to try these institutions - IIT Roorkee, BITS, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, NIT Allahabad, and NIT Delhi.
NIT Hamirpur isn’t the best choice for an M.Tech Civil program.
What is the better college for an M.Tech VLSI, NITK Surathkal or IIT Guwahati?
In my opinion, IIT Guwahati is a better option than NITK Surathkal. Here is why:
- IIT Guwahati alumni network is stronger than NIT Surathkal.
- The IIT tag proves to be helpful in attracting good companies irrespective of whichever branch you belong to.
- Another major nightlight of IIT Guwahati is the beautiful campus that is a treat to the eyes of a nature lover
- The peer group will comprise the most talented geniuses in the country, unlike NIT.
- Many major recruiters tend to visit IITs only.
- A few companies like Qualcomm do not open R&d profiles in NITs but they do in older IITs.
- The package size offered by some companies like CISCO varies in IITs and NITs.
All in all, IIT Guwahati is better than NIT Surathkal in many aspects.

How are the placements for an M.Tech in the IIT-BHU (Banaras Hindu University)?
IIT BHU is one of the best engineering colleges in our country. So its placements are certainly good. The placements are slightly better for B.Techs, but even M.Techs receive ample opportunities. The placements are above 90% for CS, IT,EXTC, and core specializations.
If you get a chance to become a part of IIT BHU, you should definitely consider joining. However, for that, you’ll need a good GATE score. Apart from the placements, its academics will polish your knowledge and learning.
How much is a part-time M.Tech in Anna University worth?
Honestly speaking, a part-time M.Tech course is not of much worth. A course like M.Tech requires a practical approach. This won't be much possible at Anna University. So all you will be left behind is a title attached to your name. This course is also a waste of time and money as the fees of this course are quite high.
This course won't yield you any valuable results unless you are extremely passionate and a self-learner.

The MTech ESD is a newly launched program at IIIT Bangalore. Here are a few pros and cons that might help you understand the credibility of the program
Pros
- IIIT Bangalore is located in the IT hub so there won’t be a dearth of opportunities related to hackathons, design conferences, and the stuff.
- The professors have tried to make good connections with the industry. Some of the best professors are Prof. Subhajit Sen and Prof. Subir Roy
- The course structure is extremely flexible allowing you to take up any course of your choice.
- The students of Embedded Systems are assisted by their senior batch, from team Q-Alpha, regarding all aspects.
Cons
- The branch is new and not well-established.
- Embedded Systems lack some of the courses like RTOS and Linux drivers courses.
So choose wisely after weighing the pros and cons of the stream.
Is IIT Dhanbad good for an M.Tech in the ECE department?
The two deciding factors in this case are the studies and placements. IIT Dhanbad offers M.Tech ECE in VLSI, RF and Microwave Engineering, Communications, and Photonics. RF and Microwave Engineering is a good but difficult option.
The faculty for VLSI and Communications is good. However, the Photonics faculty is not good at all. 2-3 subjects and labs are common for all ECE students. However, the curriculum for RF and Microwave is entirely different from the other three.
The placement scenario for ECE isn’t good. Very few students are placed from the department, that too in non-core jobs. Those who are well-versed in programming get easily placed in IT firms.
Core companies like Texas, Intel, Amdocs, etc. visit the campus for recruitment. However, they recruit very few students (sometimes none) from the department. Some students do secure internships at firms like Intel. But for final placements, they have to undergo screening once again. The placements are nil in RF. But some universities visit the campus seeking Assistant Professors. They offer good starting packages.
If you get VLSI at NIT Surathkal/Trichy/Warangal, choose that over IIT Dhanbad. The placement for VLSI is very good at these colleges. As for IIT Dhanbad, it offers a very decent M.Tech ECE. The main advantage in this case is the ‘IIT’ tag.
