M.Tech from NIT Jalandhar is not particularly useful for placement in manufacturing technology.
The reality is that M.Tech from NIT Jalandhar is like any other college, and NIT Jalandhar only focuses on placement for their Undergraduate students, though they may arrange a placement drive for M.Tech students if necessary. So, if a student is exceptionally bright and possesses exceptional practical knowledge, he will be chosen for campus placement.
Another issue is that there aren't enough companies in the region with manufacturing technology backgrounds.
NIT Jalandhar is a decent college. The placement of the institute varies every year according to the quality of the batch and the hard work of placement representatives. In the past year, the placement percentage for textile technology recorded as 94%. The average CTC received by the students of this branch is around 5.3 lakhs.
The students for manufacturing and textile were also placed in ZS Associates, L&T Infotech, and Reliance. Students were also placed in the marketing firms which deal with the international marketing of yarns or fabrics.
For the master’s degree, it is always better to follow your interest if you have developed one. But if you do not possess an interest in any particular field and are getting textile technology only, then NIT-J will be a better choice instead of going to any private college.
