The selection procedure for a direct Ph.D. in IIT Madras varies as per the department. Usually, there is a primary election that is based on the CGPA that you obtain after clearing any national-level entrance exam like GATE.
After this, you need to give an interview and a written test round.
If you want to go for MS by research or Ph.D., you will have to appear for a written test which is followed by an interview. These tests are conducted twice a year, in May and in November. Check the IIT Madra website regularly. Once you apply for the Ph.D. position, and you get shortlisted, and then you can appear for the written exam. The written exam is similar to what the GATE exam is and there is no difference for MS and Ph.D. aspirants. Your interview will be conducted only if you clear the written test.
However, if you do not clear the written or the interview round, and you are interested in some particular work that is being carried out by any professor, you can approach them directly and ask for a research or project assistant’s position. If the professor is impressed by your work, they may convert you to a full-time Ph.D.
One of my friends studied at SASTRA University. According to him, Mechanical engineering is pretty good when placements are considered.

| Highest CTC | 15 LPA |

Though ECE is said to be the most sought after department in SASTRA University, when placements, faculty and course curriculum is considered. But Mechanical also does not lag behind.
As per the 2022 placement statistics of SVNIT, out of 88 registered B.Tech Electrical students, 72 were successfully placed. Thus, approximately 82% B.Tech students from Electrical branch were successfully placed in 2022. The highest package was 25.56 LPA, and the average package was 8.83 LPA.

If you are opting for an M.Tech in CSE/ECE from IIIT Delhi, consider the course fee as a one-time investment. This course and college have a huge ROI, given that you work really hard during these two years.
The course will cost you somewhere around Rs. 5-6 Lakhs (including all the charges). With an educational loan, you’ll be repaying around Rs 5,70,707 in total (approximately). If you get in through GATE, you’ll get a stipend of Rs. 12,400 per month, which is Rs. 2,97,600 in total. If you spend around 5000 per month, you’ll still save Rs. 1,77,600 from your stipend. So your loan will come down to Rs. 3,93,107.
If you grab a package of 20+ LPA, you’ll get a base salary of Rs. 10-12 LPA. This means an in-hand salary of around Rs. 70-80k per month. Try to save Rs. 40,000 per month. By doing so, you’ll pay your loan within a year.
Try to be mindful of your savings, and you’ll comfortably sail through.
These are the various companies that hire CSE/IT students as interns from NIT Surathkal and the stipend they provide per month-
Sprinklr: 2 Lakhs, Uber: 1.6 Lakhs, D E Shaw: 1.5 Lakhs, J P Morgan: 1 Lakh, Google: 1 Lakh, Arcesium: 1 Lakh, Goldman Sachs: 1 Lakh, Morgan Stanley: 80k, Microsoft: 80k, Walmart Labs: 80k, Credit Suisse: 80k, Cisco: 70k, Intuit: 60k to 1 Lakh, Samsung: 50k to 70k, Oracle: 50k, Flipkart: 50k, Myntra: 50k, Nvidia: 50k, SAP Labs: 45k, Amazon: 45k, Qualcomm: 40k, Adobe: 40k. Companies visit with internship offers in a random order. But those that offer 1 Lakh+ per month, visit the campus within the first two days of internship drive.
PPOs vary according to the brand. Companies like JP Morgan, CISCO and Morgan Stanley pay a good stipend, but their base salary goes to around 12 LPA.
Flipkart on the other hand, offers comparatively low stipend but their base salary is around 16 LPA. The chances of getting a PPO are circumstantial. Companies like Uber, Sprinklr and D E Shaw are very selective in offering PPOs. Google conducts a few interviews before offering PPOs to its interns. Completing your tasks on time, and maintaining a good rapport with your manager somewhat ensures that you get a PPO at your company.
I have mentioned the internship details for the CSE/IT branch. You can consult a few seniors to know the details for other branches.
You must choose between the two based on your future plans and personal preference-
NIT Surathkal offers good placements in the IT sector. It is a fact that the IT industry is prospering tremendously in India at present.
You can choose your branch/college on the basis of this information. I would have personally chosen NIT Surathkal IT because of the location and career prospects.
CSE is the best branch at NIT Calicut for your B.Tech. It has the best placement record and highest packages among all the branches. The course structure is such that you will have plenty of free time at your disposal. There is less workload and fewer classes in CSE. The faculty is filled with experienced and supportive teachers.
You should visit the department’s website. Also check out the course curriculum and syllabi online to get a fair idea of the academics and what courses/books you will be studying.
If you want to pursue B.Tech CSE, you can definitely consider doing it from NIT Calicut.
