IIT Mandi: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 2 Reviews

Admissions are based on application submissions, with previous batches undergoing interviews, though recent admissions skipped this step. Interview questions, when asked, are straightforward and focus on reasoning. The college charges affordable fees ranging between 30,000 to 40,000 INR per semester, with only slight increases due to mess charges. All students receive a monthly MHRD scholarship of 12,400 INR for completing 32 hours of teaching assistant duties per semester, which helps cover most expenses.

Students can engage in placements starting in their second year, but the biotech department lacks core placements due to fewer students and a trend towards PhD pursuits. Students manage the placement process, which can be demanding alongside studies. The faculty offers strong support, especially for those aiming for further studies. M.Tech students usually don't participate in internships due to their teaching responsibilities, although internships are possible if the scholarship is suspended during that time.

IIT Mandi: 2 Answered Questions

What should I choose for M.Tech in Bio tech, IIT Mandi or NIT Bhopal?

Aman Kumar
Soutrik GuptaIIT Mandi

I feel you are torn between the IIT and NIT tags here. In that case, new IITs are a better option unless you are considering top NITs like Warangal, Surathkal, or Calicut. 

But it seems you have 2 generation NITs in your list only. In that case, IIT Mandi is a preferable choice. 

  • IIT Mandi has a better learning environment and competition 
  • IIT Mandi has one of the most beautiful campuses and it’s location is also a boon.
  • The new IITs have young professors who are dynamic and friendly. 

Either program will offer a plethora of opportunities, and choosing one over the other will be merely because of personal preferences.

How is M.Tech biotechnology at IIT Mandi in terms of research?

Vaibhav SinhaStudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi

Choosing an M.Tech. in biotechnology for research purposes might not be a good decision. 

For better job opportunities and placements, opt for other streams like CSC; otherwise, you will end up as a postgraduate in the biotech field without the perfect job you wish for. 

The biotech department in most of institutions, including IITs, is weak in nature. Most students prefer other streams for their higher studies, which is a good idea to secure your career. 

The only option left for you is to take the JRF and NET exams. If you have a strong interest in the biotech field prefer institutions like IISERs, TIFR, IISc, DU and JNU other than Mandi

Fee Structure And Facilities:

There is negligible fees hike, mostly for mess charges. All students get a MHRD scholarship and compensated with 12400rs per month upon working 32 hours as a Teaching assistant. TA changes every semester and workload depends on what you are assigned. For exam if you are assigned to a maths faculty you'll have to learn a few things and assist. Some faculties are easy going and will assign you tasks you're comfortable with. Other duties in NKN, library, SRC are really easy.
