Yes, IIT Delhi MTech Machine Design students do get placed with decent roles and packages. In fact, after IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi is the most preferred IIT for students mailing to get enrolled in the MTech program. The 2 main reasons for this are listed below:
MTech Program offered by the Mechanical Department of IIT Delhi has a decent placement scenario with a placement percentage of around 70-80%. Design stream has the best placements in the entire department in terms of the average package as well as placement percentage. Mainly roles in R&D and a few managerial roles are offered.
When considering a certain program, there are 2 things to choose from; the institute and the branch. So my answer talks about both, IIT Guwahati in general and MTech in Computational Mechanics.
IIT Guwahati
Computational Mechanics
This course is the perfect blend of Mechanics and programming. The key highlights pertaining to the course are
Overall staying and studying at IIT Guwahati will offer you a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will cherish for the coming years.
IIT Guwahati is visited by many reputed Indian and foreign firms both Indian and foreign from both private as well as public sectors.

A few Public sector companies like Indian Oil Corporation, Nuclear Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited (BHEL), etc, have also recruited candidates. Both the private and public sector companies are expected to recruit more candidates.
You should not be expecting placements for an M.Tech from NIT Surathkal. The scenario is quite different for the CS/IT background students.
| Categories | M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at NIT Surathkal |
| Course Fee | 1.29 lakhs |
| Course Duration | 2 years |
| Highest CTC | 14-15 LPA |
| Average CTC | 7 LPA |
The placement is really good in NIT Surathkal. Many top companies participate in the placement program. These companies include Microsoft, Google, Tech Mahindra, IBM, TCS, Capgemini, Accenture, Wipro, Mindtree, Infosys, etc.
My friend received a call in Cryogenic on the basis of her GATE score in the Instrumentation exam. The entire interview lasted for 12 minutes. The panelists initially cross-checked the GATE score with her and then began the interview.
They asked her where she hailed from and then posed a number of technical questions like
Based on her experience, the maximum questions were based on her research work only so you need to prepare well in the same.
In all engineering colleges, BTech students are given more preference than MTech students because they can do the job at a lesser salary than MTech students. Moreover, they are more in number and are ready to grab any role whatsoever. MTech students on the other hand prefer core jobs that align with their academic profile and specific interests. So the placement opportunities offered to Masters students are less. Mostly, they have two options to choose from, academia or corporate.
NITK offers a great research culture that instills all the necessary skills. The placements are unpredictable though. Ultimately I will advise you to opt for a Master’s degree only if you are really interested in getting a specialization degree because there is no guarantee you’ll get a job in the end.
The MTech at IIT Kanpur is a research-oriented program. Most of the professors can be seen engrossed in research work and they encourage the students to do the same. There are 3 branches of Mechanical
The placement scenario of MTech in Mechanical Engineering is average with enough opportunities in the core sector.
IIT Kanpur provides you with the necessary amenities to conduct quality research under the mentorship of experienced professors. Many students opt for Ph.D. from foreign universities after completing their MTech. So the program is a good choice for a prospective researcher.
Yes, students of IIT Guwahati MTech Computational Mechanics get placed in both core and non-core companies with decent packages. These students are allowed to sit for almost every core company that visits the IIT Guwahati campus. In Fact, there are many companies that prefer CM students over students from other branches.
The placement percentage is around 60–70% considering placement statistics of the past few years. There are many students who embark on a career in research through Ph.D. in foreign universities. Getting recommendations from IIT Guwahati’s professors will make your OhD easier.
IIT tag will fetch you jobs off campus too, so don’t worry, you will end up with a job either way.
The better option depends on what your purpose and life goals are and what you want from your Master.
If you want to pursue a career in research (PhD) the best option for you is IIT Guwahati. Being one of the oldest and most highly reputed IITs, it has high credibility and will fetch you Ph.D. interviews much more easily. Additionally, IIT Guwahati also offers immense exposure through foreign exchange programs. IIT Guwahati has collaborations with various reputed universities and can be preferred over NITs.
However, if it's the jobs you are after, then NIT is a better option as it’s more accessible to employers. Still, IIT Guwahati will always be my first preference. Be it a job or higher education, IITs always give an edge to other engineering institutes.
IIT Bhubaneswar is part of new IITs that were established by the government. Even though the Institute is new the placements of IIT Bhubaneswar are good and rising in an exponential manner. In 2019, the placement rate for M-Tech was 69% and for Mechanical Engineering, it was 83%. Maximum placements offer for MTech students were received from Core and PSU sectors.
