How is M.Tech in Pondicherry university?
M.Tech, as a degree, is a very good choice at Pondicherry University. However, it also depends upon the department you are choosing. Some of the programs such as Nano Science, Data Science, Computer Science, and Architecture are quite great at the institute.
In many cases, students of the university often claim that the placement percentage, unlike other institutes, is lower than usual. Some also say that the peer group at the institute is not that good.
Contrary to what they say, it is not quite true. One of my friends is a recent alumnus of Pondicherry University and is now settled in a top firm. So, if you have the required skills, you can easily get job offers.
There are many students engaged in government and privately funded projects. For academics, Pondicherry University is quite good. However, you will have to look for jobs on your own.
How is the placement scenario in IIT Hyderabad for an M.Tech in the CSP branch?
IIT Hyderabad is one of the fastest-growing new IITs that has almost reached the level of older IITs in no time. Its location of being in one of the biggest industrial cities of India plays a big role in its fast-paced development. My sister was a student of the CSP branch (MTech RA) and enlightened me about the placement scenario there. However, she passed out in 2016 so the placement stats are for that year only.
The CSP department of IIT Hyderabad has extremely learned and experienced faculty with a decent placement scenario even better than VLSI.
- In 2015-16, CSP recorded 80% placement with an average salary above INR 10 LPA.
- In the 2016–17 placement session, CSP boasted of 100% placement with the average CTC standing at INR 12 LPA. Some students even received more than one offer.
Considering the improved trend, the placement scenario of CSP at IIT Hyderabad is currently expected to be even better.
How is the M.Tech (2 years) program in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at IIT Hyderabad?
Considering the increasing demand for AI, this program is going to be the next big thing. Although it has been launched recently, it seems promising and is becoming one of the most coveted programs offered by IIT Hyderabad.
- This program is the best choice for those who are machine learning enthusiasts
- The program will get you placed either as SDE or as an ML engineer.
So the M.Tech (2 years) program in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at IIT Hyderabad is a decent choice given that you are genuinely interested in the field.
How is Mtech in structure in jntuh?
One of my friends graduated from JNTUH in Transportation Engineering. Here is his review of the M.Tech courses offered at JNTUH.
- According to him, the academic environment of the institute is not that great. It is especially true for the Civil Engineering Dept. The department has experienced professors but they hardly take the classes. Obviously, it is not true for everyone but most of the professors are more engaged in their consultancy work than teaching.
- The lab assistants are also not cooperative. If you don’t have a good relationship with them, then your project work can't go smoothly and it will take longer than the estimated time.
- The placement record for M.Tech branches at JNTUH is not that great. According to the recent placement highlights, the placement average for M.Tech is around 75% and the average CTC offered is around 9 LPA.
- Regarding research, if you don’t have any new ideas for doing research then you will be given a research abstract, which was previously completed but with slight variations in it. The professor doesn’t encourage students to take on new research topics.
According to my friend, it’s better to keep JNTUH as your second preference. Choose Osmania University, if you have an option.
What is the use of doing an M Tech in JNTUK?
M.Tech has generally pursued research purposes. If you are highly interested in your subject then go for it without any further hesitation. To enhance your knowledge is never a decision that would make you regret it later.
You might even be offered an opportunity to opt for the post of Assistant Professor or Research Assistant. Your B.Tech qualification would suffice the criterion for private companies as a degree in M.Tech is not much of value in the corporate field.
You may opt for this course if you are immensely interested in acquiring a job post as a research assistant, etc. Otherwise, it would merely be a waste of time.
How is MTech in signal processing and communication from IIT Mandi?
The M.Tech in signal processing offered by IIT Mandi was launched in 2017 and thus is a relatively new branch. This program has been taught in the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering (SCEE) since August 2017.
The program is designed to give importance to theory and exposure to industry needs.
It consists of two parts
- coursework
- and a year-long project.
The course work is structured to give solid theoretical foundations and practical, hands-on experience which would enable the student to tackle problems in signal processing, communications, and machine learning holistically.
In order to prepare the students for product development by the end of the first year, courses like Advanced Programming Practicum, Embedded Systems, IoT Systems, and Systems Design are included in the curriculum. In addition to the post-graduate project, these courses familiarize the students with the system design aspects relevant to signal processing, communications, and machine learning. The majority of the faculty is in image processing so the maximum course work is from image processing and very little from communication.
The hostel facilities, however, are quite a disappointment with students getting extremely small double occupancy rooms double in single occupancy rooms. The hostel rooms lack basic amenities like tables, chairs, LAN ports, etc. The first-year students are made to stay on the North campus while most labs and classes are on the South campus. Students have to travel a hilly terrain of 3 km just for attending lab sessions. With all honesty, the placement scenario of this particular specialization is poor. The only advantage of IIT Mandi you will have is the amazing climate and surroundings. Thus, make IIT Mandi your last choice and try to target NITs instead.
What are the placement opportunities in IIIT Allahabad for MTech?
IIIT Allahabad offers decent placement opportunities to M.Tech students. During the 2022 placement drive, PG students received an average CTC of INR 19.57 LPA. For IIIT Allahabad placements 2020 and 2021, the average CTC offered to PG students was INR 14.57 LPA and INR 14.45 LPA, respectively. Many top-tier companies take part in the campus recruitment of the institute.
Is it worth doing an M.Tech at NIT Trichy, or should I drop?
If you plan to specialize in one particular branch related to your graduation branch, you can opt for it. Or, if you are currently working in some organization or have some work experience and there is a demand for a specialist in your organization, you can opt for it.
If you are not yet placed and still pursuing your B.Tech, I would suggest you first go for the placements and then give it a thought. NIT Trichy is a reputed institute and offers good academics. In fact, it is among the top NITs.
Should I go for an integrated PhD or an M.Tech at IIIT Allahabad?
It depends on your future plan. If you want to teach, then go for an integrated Ph.D. degree instead of an MTech from any institute. It will save you 1 year.
However, if you want a career in research then do a Mtech first and then go for your Ph.D. You can get your Ph.D. from other better institutes like some IIT.
An integrated Ph.D. will take a minimum of 6 years to complete. Getting the award depends a lot on your performance and your mentor. If your mentor is happy with your performance, you can get your degree done within 5 years too.
On the other hand, doing an M.Tech and a Ph.D. separately will take at least 7 years.
So, consider all these factors and choose what’s best for you.
Is it necessary to attend classes in Mtech from IET Lucknow?
The best part about IET Lucknow is the freedom it offers to the students. The college does not intend to restrict students to only academics. There is no pressure for attendance. However, some faculties might give weightage to attendance. So, if you can balance the academics and extracurricular, you can negotiate with them. Never give a chance to your teachers to point down your mistakes.
Consider the below-mentioned points for this.
- Decent grades and marks in the sessional tests can save you.
- The faculties consider assignments too. So, make sure to submit your quality assignment adhering to all the instructions before deadlines. There is no need for more pages.
- Be enthusiastic and noticeable in classes by raising questions or giving answers to the teachers. Also, respect your teachers.
- Try to attend the lectures by the permanent faculties as such lectures are rare. There are only a few such faculties in the college. But they have vast experience and knowledge.
- Some students fill the attendance by themselves as soon as the faculty leaves the register in the class. But it is risky, and there is a probability of getting caught.
- Lab lectures are easy to skip. You can mark your attendance and leave the lab.
Overall, the classes are skippable in IET Lucknow if you have a decent image in front of faculties. Currently, compulsory attendance of 60% as per the rules of the new director is required, but 50% attendance will let you sit in exams.
