Average placements at IIIT Bangalore stands at around 24lpa, is it worth leaving top NITs for an Mtech CSE at IIIT Bangalore?
IIIT Bangalore is at par with top NITs at least in terms of placement scenario of its MTech CSE course. But the question is, are good placements enough to choose a college? Here are a few factors to consider while choosing between top NITs and IIIT Bangalore.
- Faculty: IIIT Bangalore has a much more qualified and learned faculty pool than top NITs and offers core CSE education in India. Most professors are Ph.D. holders from foreign universities and are at par with the top 7 IITs.
- Labs: IIIT Bangalore has much better labs and resources whereas NITs obsolete equipment and lab facilities.
- Curriculum: IIIT Bangalore has a CS-tailored class which is updated frequently to meet industry trends while NITs don't.
- Brand: IIIT Bangalore has a better brand name mainly because it is known for its master's and doctorate level education in computer science and engineering.
- Placements: IIIT Bangalore has an excellent placement scenario owing to its focus on Masters and PhD education. Many top firms that prefer specialized graduates in diverse CSE streams visit the campus for placements.
I feel the primary point of difference between NITs and IIIT Bangalore is that NITs mostly focus on placements at the undergraduate level. IIIT Bangalore's main focus has been providing quality education at the master's and doctorate levels. Still, to answer your question, IIIT Bangalore is better than top NITs in almost all aspects.
How good is the curriculum of M.Tech C.S. in ISI kolkata?
M.Tech CS at ISI Kolkata isn’t just for CSE graduates. The student crowd includes students from all engineering streams. So, in the first year, ISI encourages students from non-CSE backgrounds to learn coding and study computer science courses. While CSE students are encouraged to take Mathematics courses such as Algebra, or Probability.
Second year course curriculum can seem a little boring for students with CS background. As the major chunk of the curriculum includes Algorithms, Networking, DBMS, etc. But you should use this opportunity to brush up on these subjects. You will also have the option to do research work, during the course tenure. Pursuing a research project can be really helpful if you are interested in doing a Ph.D. or an internship afterward.
In the second year, you will be allowed to choose a course of your choice. Try to take a subject that is relevant to your thesis work. The coursework in the third year can get extremely hectic, you will have to work on your thesis, start preparing for placement or PhD, and work on five subjects.

IIIT Allahabad is a good choice for M.Tech in CSE. You can also go for NIT Bhopal which has a good placement record. But lacks a good teaching-learning process. So, It is suggested you go for IIIT Allahabad, as it will be the best option for you.
IIIT Sonepat: Which one should I choose, NIT Kurukshetra or NIT Bhopal or IIIT Allahabad for an M.Tech in CSE?
I will never recommend you to choose NIT Kurukshetra because the administration is very disappointing and the entire system is in dilapidated condition. The CSE branch specifically is losing its charm. The official records claim some very good professors but the reality is most of them aren’t interested in teaching.
The result is declared after 4 months and the students were given backs by a margin of 1/4 of a mark. The duration of exams is long, giving no time for holidays. The Institute does not encourage any kind of educational tours or summer training. Research work is not promoted in any form. The only reason NIT Kurukshetra is still here is because of the hard work of students who get good packages.
How is the ML and AI culture at IIT Madras? Do MTech CSE students at IIT Madras get internships at Google, Microsoft, etc.?
IIT Madras is the leading IIT in terms of growth in fields like ML and AI. it is taught by the very imminent expert in the field, Professor Balaram Ravindran. He has contributed largely to Machine Learning.
Additionally, MTech students of IIT Madras get the excellent opportunity to intern at MNCs like Microsoft, IBM, etc. IIT Delhi and IIT Madras are the only IITs offering internship opportunities for M.Tech. students. IIT Madras has a separate portal for PG internships like the already established portal for UG Internships. Many PPOs are provided on completion of internships.
Thus, both AI and ML are on the rise, and job opportunities on the same are increasing day by day.
How is it possible that IIIT Bangalore's mTech CSE Average package (27.5LPA) is greater than IIT Guwahati CSE Average package (27.04LPA)?
The difference in the packages is due to the inflated figures released by the institutes. For instance, Microsoft offers 42 LPA packages but the actual in-hand salary is only 13 LPA.
Also, IIIT Bangalore has no core job offers whereas, in IIT Guwahati, you can also explore other domains apart from IT like finance, consulting, analysis, data science, etc. It is exactly why Inthunk placements should never be the criteria to judge the credibility of an institute or program. Rather, we should start considering in-hand averages.
Another possible reason for IIIT Bangalore's better placements is the excellent research-focused culture that provides great knowledge and scope.
How is the M.Tech program in computational science from IISC Bangalore?
IISC Bangalore is the best institution for higher studies in India, in the field of Engineering and sciences. M.Tech at IISc Bangalore is highly reputed and sought after. This course is focused on research and IISC Bangalore is the best institute in our country in terms of research.
In this program, the student has to complete 40 credits, divided into electives (13 credits), softcore (10 credits), and hard-core courses (13 credits).

The general rank of 1430 (or a score of 624) is good enough to get colleges that are even better than ABV-IIITM Gwalior. With this rank, a candidate can get into NITs and many more institutes that have a much better curriculum and placement than ABV-IIITM Gwalior.
Here is a list of some of the best institutes which a rank of 1430 should expect for M.Tech in CSE.
- NIT Surathkal
