Is pursuing a dual MSc B.E. in BITS Pilani tough?
Yes, pursuing a dual MSc BE in BITS Pilani is a very tough and tedious journey. One of my friends ended up going for a dual degree and considers it a complete waste of time. Here is a synopsis of the entire journey.
- First year: The first year is the deciding time for your BE degree so dualities have to work hard and score a high CGPA.
- Second year: This year is relaxed as you will be taught only the courses from your first degree (MSc Degree).
- Third year: It's from this year that your dual degree flaws will start becoming prominent. While the single-degree students will be busy with humanities electives, you will be busy with compulsory discipline electives in both your degrees. This is also the year that will make you realize which degree you want to pursue professionally. However, by this time you will have 2 degrees to pursue so you won’t be able to give the degree you like enough time.
- Fourth year: This year again is very challenging especially if you do PS for two semesters. You will have to study eight courses without any breaks. Because of this your other degree will suffer and result in poor CG. Your PS chances will be affected in turn that depends on your grades.
- Fifth year: The fifth-year welcomes the most dreaded thesis. While your counterparts will have to do two discipline electives and another two humanities, you will be doing a 15 credits course alongside sitting for placements. According to the new rules, it is compulsory for students to do a thesis in one degree and PS in the other. Usually, students prefer doing PS in the degree of their choice so a thesis in the degree of not your choice is very difficult.
Overall, I feel that a dual degree is a waste of time and you should reconsider your decision if you are planning to get one.
How is the life of an MS (by research) student at IIT Madras?
One of my friends was an MS student at IIT Madras and she loved the time spent pursuing that course.
- It gave her a sort of exhilarating experience of freedom to pursue whatever and however she wanted in her academics.
- The research helps you learn how to tackle the challenges on your own.
- Since you do not belong to a certain class, you might feel lonely sometimes but for some this might actually be a good thing. You get more time to invest in studying for your research.
- A typical morning of an MS student at IIT Madras begins around 8-9 and there are no fixed timings as you don’t have any classes to attend. You wake up and check if the computation you had left overnight on the supercomputer has converged or not.
- After this, go to the mess for breakfast and then head to the labs.
- You start coding and solving problems. If you face a problem you read and try to get a solution on your own. You keep working till 1: 30 after which you head to have lunch.
- At around 4 30 in the evening, your guide approaches you to get updates on your work for the day. You get to take a tea/coffee break with them which would not have been possible as a BTech and MTech student. They guide you not only academically but also enlighten you on fundamentals like professionalism, discipline, humility, principles, and morals of a human being.
- Post the tea break you are back with coding in your lab or reading a scientific paper.
- After a while, you can pack yourself and leave for the hostel. Now you can catch up on your sleep, watch anything.
The routine of a typical day of an MS student is mostly self-driven and thus varies from person to person. You get immense exposure as you have to work with BTech students, Ph.D. students, and sometimes even with the placement committee. Unlike BTech and MTech students, you have practical and theoretical knowledge of many concepts.
Does pursuing a dual degree from BITS, Pilani (integrated MSc physics + BE CSE) have same chances for placements?
BITS Pilani is a renowned institution in India that offers excellent academic and placement support to students. You don’t need to worry about the branch you selected; BITS Pilani has the advantage of allowing you to switch courses during your first year if you maintain a good CGPA score. After your enrolment in this institute, find out your area of interest and select accordingly
Having a dual degree increases your chances of placement with a good package. Most companies consider dual degrees to be equivalent to a master's degree. So, it is better to opt for a dual degree

You can also get placement offers through off-campus placements. The university offers good exposure to students. The college alumni group is also quite helpful regarding placements.
Which one should I choose: MS by Research program or M Tech at IIIT Hyderabad?
If your future goal is getting a high paying job, choose the M.Tech program at IIIT Hyderabad.The course fee is high but an average package of around INR 31 LPA is offered to M.Tech students. Thus, you will be able to easily cover your education expenses within a year of your job.
If you are really interested in Research, you should choose the MS by Research program. The average time for completing the MS program is 3 years, but depending upon your guide, you can also complete the program earlier than that. At present, the duration has even come down to 2.5 years.
MS students sit with M.Tech students during IIIT Hyderabad placements and get equal placement opportunities. However, as an MS student you will get so involved in research work that instead of going for a job you will probably end up doing Ph.D. If you are interested in CV/ML, its course structure and guidance at IIIT Hyderabad are top notch. The MS course is very flexible and you study subjects that are relevant for your research.
Overall, whether you go for MS by Research or M.Tech at IIIT Hyderabad is a matter of your personal goals.
How do you feel an Integrated MSc course from NIT Surat (SVNIT) is?
An integrated MSc. from SVNIT will be beneficial for your future as NITs are the second most revered engineering colleges in our country. Chasing one’s dream is a good idea, but one must also be aware of our future prospects. SVNIT is a good choice in terms of placements.
Some of my friends who graduated from SVNIT know of their batchmates who received job offers of around 30 LPA from foreign recruiters. Even Indian organizations pay SVNIT graduates handsomely, but the foreign offers are higher.
Ultimately, it is you who has to make the most of the available opportunities. Thus, I would recommend you join SVNIT for an integrated MSc.
Am I making a mistake by preferring IISER Kolkata over IIT Kharagpur MSc Integrated Physics?
No, it is not a mistake to prefer IISER Kolkata over IIT KGP for an MSc integrated course in Physics. You are going to get a pure science degree so it makes more sense to get the degree from an institute that focuses on that degree. IIT KGP is popular for its engineering degrees. So, you will be mostly surrounded by people who are pursuing engineering degrees. You won’t get to meet many like-minded students. The course structure of integrated MSc at IITs is also outdated.
At IISER Kolkata, you will get a decent course structure and better faculties for an integrated MSc.
