Is the MTech in computer science at IIT, Madras hectic?
The M.Tech program in Computer Science at IIT Madras is considered a demanding graduate-level degree program that requires a strong grasp of computer science concepts and a high level of dedication and hard work. However, with the right approach and attitude, it can be a very enriching experience.
The level of difficulty of MTech depends on the courses you have specifically opted for and the professors teaching you. Some professors like to take the reins and have strict rules in terms of attendance and assignment submission deadlines while some have a laid-back attitude and leave it up to the students to be punctual and make the most out of the classes.
The project you chose for the second year and your guide also determines whether you will have a hectic schedule or can spare some time for leisure activities and hobbies. Choose wisely as these 2 years are very important in shaping your career. However, one should be ready to commit completely to their course and invest maximum time possible.

Which is better: M.Tech in CSE from IIT Hyderabad or M.tech in theoretical computer science in IIT Guwahati?
Assuming that you are research-oriented, I suggest you choose IIT Guwahati MTech in theoretical CS rather than MTech in CSE from IIT Hyderabad. From the choice of your research-related subjects, theoretical CS seems to be the best option. Moreover, the Mathematics and Computer Science department of IIT Guwahati is extremely good with a knowledgeable faculty base.
MTech at IIT Hyderabad on the other hand is more focused on campus-related work rather than actual theoretical knowledge of the subjects.
It’s important to check if the research interests of the faculty align with your subject interests.
What should I join IIT Roorkee or IIT Hyderabad for MTech CSE?
If you want to see rank-wise, of course, IIT Roorkee is the best option and you will notice a difference in a variety of parameters, but IIT Hyderabad is also a good option because it has good faculty members and offers all advanced courses. Placements are also good here. As a result, both are relatively similar.
Both are excellent Mtech programs, but IIT Roorkee has an advantage over IIT Hyderabad due to the older IIT and its superior research environment.

My son has scored 42.33 marks in GATE (CSE). Could you please suggest which IITs, NITs, or IIITs he might be eligible for an M.Tech in Computer Science?
With a GATE 2025 score of 42.33 marks in Computer Science, your son has comfortably crossed the General category qualifying cut-off mark of 29.2 marks and can be eligible for admission into a number of top institutes in India. Here is a quick analysis of where he stands and the options that actually confront him:
Admission Possibilities
| Institute Type | Chance for Admission in CSE |
|---|---|
| Top IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, etc.) | Unlikely, as cutoffs are usually 55–65+ marks |
| Newer IITs (Jodhpur, Patna, Dhanbad, etc.) | Possible in later rounds or for allied CSE branches |
| Top NITs (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal) | Competitive, but admission more likely in later rounds or for specializations like information security and data science. |
| Mid/Lower NITs | Good chance for direct admission in CSE |
| Top IIITs (Allahabad, Gwalior, Jabalpur) | Competitive; possible depending on the round and specialization |
| Other IIITs | Good chances for CSE or related programs |
Recommendations: Apply through COAP (for IITs) and CCMT (for NITs/IIITs). Keep looking for related fields like Data Science, Cybersecurity, or Information Technology, which may have slightly lower cutoffs. And take all rounds of counseling, including spot rounds, as cutoff trends fluctuate every year. Also visit state universities and centrally funded colleges that accept GATE scores.
Your son is rightly positioned for M.Tech admissions in all NITs, IIITs, and new IITs. CSE and this score will not make the top 5 IITs feasible, but there are plenty of good colleges where he can build a strong academic and professional life. Wishing your son best of luck for future admissions.

Which institute should I join for an MTech in computer science, ISI Kolkata or one of the IITs?
IITs offer better placements for MTech in Computer Science. ISI Kolkata offers fewer core Computer Science job profiles. Most opportunities offered at the institute are for M.Stat and MSQE students. But if you want a career as a Data Scientist, it will be a better choice. ISI Kolkata placements are the best in the country for analytics. However, the recruiting companies usually prefer M.Stat/MSQE students over M.Tech.
According to the recent placement highlights M.Tech CS students of ISI usually receive a median CTC of around INR 18.6 LPA.
In terms of research too, join ISI Kolkata, if you want to work on something related to analytics or big data, etc. If you want a traditional career path in CS, then IITs will be better.
