How is Mtech cse at NIT Delhi and how are placements there?

DS
Darshan Sethi Posted On : October 10th, 2023
Lives in Delhi

Truth be told, NIT Delhi is mainly known for its BTech program only and its MTech program is relatively new so it lacks credibility. The faculty of M.Tech. CSE is well qualified but has little or no practical experience and the computer labs have limited access to software. Although the overall environment is conducive to studying, academics at NIT Delhi are more of a personal affair. You will have to rely on your own and not on the professors for studies. The college provides the resources necessary for your thesis and project work but you have to work alone. You will also be required to do some lab work because the MTech students are also the lab assistants of juniors, instructing them how to deal with different software languages or software.

M.Tech CSE students of NIT Delhi usually receive offers from IT companies, mostly coding. However, most IT companies don’t allow Mtech students to sit for placements. Only a few allow Mtech CSE students to sit for Pre Placement Talk (PPT) and placement tests. But the M.Tech. students are almost offered the same role and packages as B.Tech. graduate in the same company. Overall, the placement scenario isn't very great, but most students end up with a decent job.

Which one would be a better choice, in terms of career, if one has the option to pursue a B.Tech/M.Tech in CSE from either the NITs/BITS or IIIT Hyderabad?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : July 28th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma when he had to choose between NIT, BITS Pilani, and IIIT Hyderabad. Visiting the NITs he found out about their poor infrastructure so removed it from his preference list. Confused between BITS and IIIT he decided to consult his cousin in BITS and eventually decided to go for it. Today, he claims that choosing BITS was one of the wisest decisions of his life. He stated his entire experience that I have summarised below in points

  • BITS Pilani focuses on the holistic development of its students and its wide range of  clubs, departments, disciplinary associations, and regional associations develop you as a person and not just as an engineer.
  • The institute instills a sense of responsibility within you and you become an emphatic part of the society. 
  • BITS Pilani gives you the chance to work on interdisciplinary projects with mechanical and electrical engineering students, 
  • Here you will see an active entrepreneurship culture and the professors not only motivate but also assist the students in the same.
  • The research culture is another prominent feature and my friend won several international accolades.
  • You will be surprised to know that BITS is the only private Indian university that is working on sensitive military projects.
  • The BITS tag does help in securing good packages but the rest of the journey depends on your efforts, performance, practical experience, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

So, every institute be it IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani or NIT Trichy offers its own kind of opportunities, culture, and resources. It depends on you, how much you are willing to make the most out of them.

DB
Devdutta Bose Posted On : August 25th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Silchar (2019)

NIT Silchar has 9 boys and 3 girls hostels, along with separate hostels for married PG students and foreign students. It also has a 1000-capacity boys hostel which is newly constructed. The hostel and campus life of NIT Silchar are top notch. Old hostels like H1 need more renovation. But overall, hostel rooms are spacious and well maintained, especially the new ones. But there is a scope for more improvements. Water and electricity is available round the clock. H-6 and -7 have playgrounds within their premises. The hostels organize cultural events and festive celebrations on a regular basis. They are provided with proper security.

All the hostels have a big common room with TV and DTH connection. Hostellers play TT, carom and other indoor games over there. All hostels have LAN for unlimited usage. Internet speed is good as well. 

Girls hostels are provided with separate Gymnasium. Boys go to the Central Gym at the Sports Center. A canteen cum stationary shop is provided in all hostels. The mess food is not good, it's bearable at best. 

M.Tech students are allotted hostel-8. It is one of the best hostels with good and spacious rooms. Both LAN and wifi facilities are available. Both single and double occupancy rooms are there in this hostel. Even the double occupancy rooms are good.

Overall, NIT Silchar has good hostel facilities.

PP
Pranay Pednekar Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied at IIT Guwahati

Around 90% of students at IIT Guwahati are successfully placed and the placements are considered to be the best. It's important to note that the remaining students who weren't placed actually opted for higher education in other reputed universities. Top recruiters like Uber, Samsung, Microsoft, Google, and JP Morgan visit the university with the highest package offered by Uber being INR 2.2 Crore and the lowest package being INR 15 LPA. The average salary package for Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is INR 29 LPA. In terms of internships, students were offered INR 2 lacs per month by companies such as Uber and Microsoft. A majority of students tend to choose careers in software development and web development. 

In 2022, the highest packages have been offered by Microsoft and Google. Around 90-92% of students secured excellent internships and every student is satisfied with their internship experience. Companies visit the campus during the third year, providing students with ample opportunities to pursue their career aspirations.

Do IIT Guwahati organise spot round for M.Tech admissions?

NT
Nived Tripathi Posted On : May 3rd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG)

No, the Department of Mechanical Engineering generally does not organize any spot admission for postgraduate courses. The first list is released after the initial counseling. The further lists are released depending on the seats available till that time. This procedure is repeated until the 4th list is released wherein the newly selected candidates have to take admission on the first day of registration, and classes start subsequently. 

Occasionally, a change of specialization is allowed even after the commencement of classes although there is no provision for spot admission. However, sometimes instead of publishing the 4th list, the Department may go for Spot Admission to the waitlisted candidates. This once happened in 2015. It all depends on the vacancy and nothing is fixed. 

Spot admission takes place in IIT Hyderabad and IIT Madras although there is no guarantee of any particular choice of streams even department.

What is the scope after doing Quality, Reliability and Operations Research [M. Tech. (QROR)] from ISI Kolkata?

SH
Sreeparna Hazra Posted On : September 21st, 2021
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute (2017)

Well, I would if you are worried about job prospects and all stuff although being in ISI Kolkata then shed off your worry. Trust me; you will get a job with an average CTC matching with top B-Schools in India. Job roles such as Business Analyst/Data Scientist and many others will be offered to you.

Now let me help you more in understanding this. Let’s break this into two parts – Job vs. Higher Studies.

  • Pursuing Ph.D./Higher Studies is a tough deal if you're applying abroad.
  • My personal perspective, in this case, will be, go for a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering domain. 
  • That's the best option, as it will be aligned with QROR.
  • Now, you should definitely rethink before applying for the courses like Data Science/ Machine Learning domain, or Statistics.
  • For this, I would suggest you consider doing some projects. And if you are at the Indian Statistical Institute you will get a plethora of opportunities.

So first and foremost, just be crystal clear with your future endeavors before joining any course. Once you decide, opt for the best but don’t rush. Just give your best thought and calculate all the pros and cons.

How good are the placements for M.tech in VLSI at VNIT Nagpur?

PK
Pallavi Kapoor Posted On : November 18th, 2023
Information Technology (IT) at VNIT Nagpur (2019)

I was an M.Tech VLSI student at VNIT Nagpur. I had a bitter experience regarding the academics and placements.

At VNIT, M.Tech students are under immense pressure to conduct research. The faculty pushes the students to pursue a Phd. On top of that, one doesn’t even get the necessary lab facilities from the college. The VLSI faculty is not supportive at all, and the entire experience is filled with torture. None of the course subjects are industry relevant.

VNIT wants its M.Techs to pursue research. This is why the campus does not receive any companies for M.Tech placements. Getting placed off campus is very difficult as companies prefer students from communication branches. Also, unlike communication students, the VLSI students aren’t permitted to go for internships. This further lessens the chances of getting a job offer.

It is especially difficult to get placed off campus, given that a single position has around 200 applicants. Moreover, the NIT tag does nothing to get oneself a job. This year, only 2 students from the entire VLSI batch got placed. The others received offers from service based companies for a package of 5–6 LPA, and with a 3 year bond, of 7–8 LPA.

Overall, the placement scenario for M.Tech VLSI is not good at all, maybe the poorest out of all NITs. I won’t recommend VNIT Nagpur for an M.Tech in VLSI.

What are the placement opportunities after earning Master from IIT Bombay in civil engineering?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : March 18th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

IIT Bombay Civil Engineering branch is well known for its programs like Master, Dual Degrees, and BTech. Candidates with good profiles have a wide range of opportunities. BTech students are preferred for Non-core jobs whereas MTech students are preferred for MTech students. 

Some jobs offered to students belonging to the Civil Engineering branch at IIT Bombay are

  1. Structural Designer: Top companies like Dar Al, Walter P Moore, and Thornton Tomasetti offer this role. Around 1 to 4 students are hired for such roles by each company. The most important criteria are CPI and your proficiency in software.
  2. Site Engineer: These roles are offered by companies like SP group, and LnT Look. You are tested usually on the basics of civil engineering and your ability to give long-term commitment.
  3. Management Trainee: Many civil companies offer management profiles also. Students with extracurricular backgrounds with reasonable academics are usually preferred for such roles. Some companies from the Middle East also offer such profiles.
  4. Teaching: In the last few years many private universities hire Masters's students directly for Assistant Professor posts. They are required to start their Ph.D. in less than a year. 
  5. Other Sub branches: Companies for water resources, Geo-tech, and Surveying offer very few roles. A few companies such as Dar Al open these profiles too.
  6. Non-Core Companies: Companies in the fields of investments, analytics, Banking, etc either don't open for M.Tech students or are not short-listed for interview. 

100% placement at IIT Bombay is just a myth and you have to work hard to secure a job.
