Which is best to pursue an MTech in ECE: IIT Bombay or IISC Bangalore?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : July 14th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I have a friend who is pursuing M.tech in Electronic systems engineering at IISc and a cousin who is pursuing M.tech at IITB too. So, I seem to be in the best position to compare IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. 

  • Academic environment: IISc has a rich research culture and you will find both faculty and students actively involved in dynamic research projects. A total of 42 departments offer rigorous courses that challenge the researcher within you. IISc also provides excellent opportunities to pursue any interdisciplinary field like microbiology, neuroscience, nanoscience, astronomy, genetics, etc. IIT Bombay on the other hand has a laid-back culture and curriculum that is more placement-oriented. Only passionate students are motivated enough to involve in research activities.
  • Placement: IIT Bombay has diverse companies visiting for placements while IISc usually has only core companies. Moreover, the students applying for placements are at IIT Bombay than IISc because IISc students prefer higher studies or research. So we can say that IIT Bombay has a more active placement cell than IISc.
  • Extra-Curriculars: IIT Bombay is known for its vibrant campus life and huge events that are organized to give the students a break from academics. IISc is a bit lacking in this aspect as its sole focus is on in-depth research. However, it does have all basic modes of refreshments like Hockey, Football, Archery, Swimming, and cultural societies for Drama, Music, Photography, and Literary
  • Higher Studies: Although both IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore have excellent prospects and opportunities for higher studies, it no brainer that IISc Bangalore will encourage you more for higher studies, and a Ph.D. from IISc is an excellent choice.

Ultimately, the final decision depends on what your prospects are and what you expect from your college life. If your main goal is to pursue full-scale research then IISc is the best place for you but if you also want to experience a great campus life and get placed then IIT Bombay will serve you better.

PK
Poulami Kar Posted On : March 16th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

Yes, any M.Tech person who is looking for placement is going to find one. Any person with an M.Tech background is pretty easily placed in brilliant companies like Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm, 1mg, Flipkart, Amazon, Daily Hunt, Razorpay, Swiggy, Phillips, etc. In case you are curious even in the least bit about your CTC, you need not worry as the highest CTC went up to 34 LPA. This was grabbed by people with an M.Tech background. 

Categories

IIIT Allahabad

Course Fee

1.04 lakh

Placement Percentage

96%

Highest CTC

43 LPA

Average CTC

20 LPA

Also, you will have better chances if you have great coding skills and knowledge concerning all your technical subjects. This can help you get placed pretty easily in any of these brilliant companies mentioned above. 

Having said that, you should also keep in mind that there are companies that reject people with an M.Tech background. NITs or IITs too, do not always accept people with an M.Tech background. 

Nevertheless, you would come across heaps of opportunities where you can showcase your skills and impress the panel.

What should I know about MTech life at IISc, Bangalore?

SB
Saikat Banerjee Posted On : July 14th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc)

The life of an MTech student at IISc is pretty busy and challenging. Students are given broad exposure to a wide variety of disciplines. The coursework is rigorous and helps you become proficient in a particular discipline through thesis research. My sister completed her ME in Microelectronic Systems from IISc last year and shared her experience of the same.

The first semester was very challenging and tiring as she had to complete 36 credits in all. She was advised to complete 5 credits in the first semester which wasn’t easy as most courses have assignments and projects.

The curriculum at IISc is flexible and students are given freedom in course choice. So apart from the core courses, students can take courses from any department be it Genetics, Molecular Biology, or Physics.

The students are assigned research advisors by the end of the first semester so they have to get in the good books of the faculty members they wish to work under. 

 The campus is serene with the best amenities one could ask for. The sports facilities are also great including TT, Soccer, Cricket, Hockey, Swimming, etc. The food served is of good quality and midnight cravings are catered to by coffee shops and fresh fruit juice stalls operate really late into the night to serve the late-night cravings of the graduate students. 

Her overall experience as an MTech student at IISc Bangalore was challenging and rewarding at the same time.
