Which is the better option, an MS at IIT Madras or an M.Tech at IIT Bhubaneswar?
My brother completed his M.S. in Electrical Engineering recently from IIT Madras and recommends it highly to everybody. Here is why you should prefer IIT Madras MS to IIT Bhubaneswar MTech.
- Better research culture and opportunities
- Better and diverse student body
- Highly qualified faculty
- The job prospects offered at IIT Madras are way better than at IIT Bhubaneswar.
- IIT Madras being older has a much more elaborate alumni base.
- Vast Alumni network.
- If you haven’t taken a gap after B.Tech and your GPA in MS first year is more than 8, you can switch to Ph.D.
- Better student exchange and internship opportunities.
- IIT Madras being one of the oldest IITs is a brand in itself.
The only flaw is the long duration of the course; 2.5 - 3 year's which leaves no time for preparing for competitive exams like UPSC.
What is the scope after doing an M.Tech in ECE at either NITW, NIT Suratkal or NIT Calicut?
If you are planning to do M.Tech from NITW, you will have to work hard. The course is challenging mainly because of the faculty.
In the second year, you have the choice of doing an internship with core companies like Intel and AMD. This will prove to be quite beneficial to you and the faculty will also support you for internships.
If you do VLSID, you can expect to get a job in Qualcomm, Intel, Nvidia, MediaTek, and AMD. If you are planning to major in EIES or Communication, the opportunities for placements might be a little less but if you study hard, you can get into good companies. Ensure that you have a GPA above 7 though.
Next, if you are interested in research, you can join any college you are interested in for a Ph.D. But, at NITW, you will get fewer resources and even less enthusiasm from your classmates at the college.
You might have to study on your own but some of the faculty is quite supportive.
Which companies recruit students from VLSI (MTech) in NIT trichy?

How is the M.Tech (civil branch) at NIT Patna if the ESE and GATE preparation is the primary concern?
One of my friends has completed his BTech from NIT Patna. I have an idea about the academic environment and placement opportunities at NIT Patna.
- MTech program has a relatively light workload giving you enough time for other things.
- The academic opportunities are limited for MTech students but plenty for BTech students.
- Faculty comprises friendly and learned professors. However, you will have to resort to self-study at some point.
- The NIT tag helps you in the initial stages of your career.
Overall, completing MTech from NIT Patna might offer excellent opportunities. The government of India also encouraged the researchers by its schemes directly from NITs. You can also opt for academia and become a teacher or start working in a PSU. The institute will provide you with enough time and opportunities for civil services or IES,
How is M.Tech Bioprocess Engineering at IIT Madras?
M.Tech Bioprocess Engineering specifically revolves around Mathematical concepts and even contains concepts related to engineering mathematics. It is most suitable for those who study Engineering Mathematics in their Bachelor's program. For those with only GATE-level Math knowledge, it might be difficult to cope and you might even end with a low CGPA.
Some core subjects that contain tough Mathematical concepts include
- Transport Phenomenon
- Thermodynamics in Biochemical Engineering
- Bioprocess Control
- Downstream Processing
Additionally, there are assignments related to coding in MATLAB in Thermodynamics and Bioprocess Control which are very challenging unless you find good assistance by your friends or seniors.
The coursework also contains projects in both dry and wet labs. The former is related to modeling/simulation/coding either in MATLAB or Python while the latter are experimental projects conducted in labs.
The specialization is still in its infancy and has very few core companies coming for placements. Some core companies that visited in the past few years are
- Perfect Day (INR 6 LPA)
- Syngene
- String Biosciences
However, non-core opportunities are plenty with first from various sectors like analytics, finance, and software offering great packages provided you have basic computer science knowledge.
How is the boys hostel facility in JNTUH Kukatpally for M Tech students?
My brother was an M.Tech student at JNTUH a few years back. He lived in the Krishna hostel during those days. According to him, you should not expect much in terms of facilities. The hostel is comfortable but during the rains my brothers’ room got filled with rain water and he had a tough time protecting his belongings.
The greenery of the campus is soothing and the playgrounds are nice. The mess food is limited in quantity and is pretty average in taste. The hostel administration is slow. Some of my brother’s friends used to sleep in the library and TeQip when their rooms got affected with mosquitoes. You will find the TeQip and library much better places to study rather than the hostel.
My brother did not have a pleasant experience at the JNTUH Kukatpally boys hostel as an M.Tech student.

How hectic is life at IIT Madras for Mtech in Thermal Engineering?
The entire first year of an MTech in Thermal Engineering student at IIT Madras revolves around tremendous coursework. Once you have completed your first year, you are expected to select your guide for the research work you will be doing the next year.
The second year is also very hectic in which the entire 3rd semester is spent on placements and the 4th semester consists of thesis work. The entire program is hectic and it’s advisable to pull your socks from the first year itself, or else you will face problems during placements.
To get a good package from a good company, make sure your CGPA does not go lower than 7.5-8. If your basics are strong, you will spend less time doing your assignments and preparing for exams thus relaxing your tight schedule a bit.
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.
