NIT Raipur isn’t a good option for an MTech in VLSI. It is a new branch and only a few branches have been through placements. According to NIT Raipur placement highlights, the placement rate isn’t that good for M.Tech VLSI. The majority of the students get non-core placements. Only around 4-5 students get core jobs.
It is a good option, in terms of research. Students of MTech VLSI have good research publications. The department also has decent facilities and technology to carry out research work.
First and foremost, best of luck for your M.Tech admissions.
The M.Tech ECE placements are average at MNNIT Allahabad. The placements largely depend upon the expected number of recruitments from visiting companies for a particular year.
Companies like Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Idea Cellular visit the campus with limited job vacancies. Other companies that make M.Tech ECE recruitments from our college include Tejas Networks, Digicomm semiconductors, Eximius, etc. Apart from that, M.Tech ECE students get the opportunity to sit for some software companies as well.
Maintain 9+ CGPA (doing so is easy) and focus more on doing projects using tools like MATLAB, NS-2 and System Vue. By doing so, you’ll increase your chances of getting a good package during the placement season.
Thus, the Communication Systems placements are quite decent at MNNIT, but everything boils down to your individual efforts.
Major core sector companies that recruit NIT Trichy MTech VLSI students are Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Invidia, Western Digital, and Nivida. Usually, Semiconductor companies recruit VLSI students in verification, digital, and hardware job positions. According to the recent highlights of NIT Trichy placements, almost all students from M.Tech VLSI, get placed. The salary packages offered are in the range of INR 6 LPA - 24 LPA.

IIT Delhi Telecommunication Management MTech program is one of the most preferred programs among students with electronics and electrical backgrounds.
No doubt, the workload of this program is extremely high with a plethora of courses. One needs great capabilities to handle the pressure. The Integrated Electronics and Circuits branch is more suitable if all you are interested in is hardware.
Telecommunication Management is a multifaceted program of 3 branches; CS EE and DMS. The curriculum is well structured covering software and hardware topics. The core courses are better in the second year than in the first. You will get knowledge of both core technical as well as telecom management sectors.
With the right set of skills and core knowledge, one can fetch excellent packages. Top recruiters include
IIT Delhi lets you choose minors in your area of interest leaving you some extra chance to pursue a career in another branch in case telecommunications does not work for you
Based on my research, here is some relevant information to assist you-
IIIT Bangalore offers much better infrastructure, research facilities, and placement opportunities as compared to NIT Surathkal. However, the fee structure at IIIT Bangalore is also on the higher side. Most of the top brands visit both these campuses for placements.
As of June 2023, the highest CTC for M.Tech ECE stood at 38 LPA, at IIIT Bangalore. The average CTC stood at 26.2 LPA, and the median CTC stood at 22.5 LPA.
Though both are top colleges, I would recommend you choose IIIT Bangalore for M.Tech ECE. Especially, if the fee is not an issue for you.
My brother goes to NIT Calicut so I can give you some insight into their M.Tech VLSI and EDT course. Here are the glimpses of the placement record for the year 2020.
Parameters | MTech Microelectronics and VLSI Design | MTech Electronics Design Technology |
Highest CTC offered | INR 21.5 LPA | INR 21.5 LPA |
Average CTC offered | INR 16.4 LPA | INR 16.7 LPA |
Lowest CTC offered | INR 6.8 LPA | INR 9 LPA |
The average CTC offered to both of these programs is almost similar. Also, the course has a good ROI. M.Tech Microelectronics and VLSI Design is in great demand and it is turning out to be one of the best courses at NIT Calicut.
