Which is better: M.Tech in CSE from IIT Hyderabad or M.tech in theoretical computer science in IIT Guwahati?

SN
Sagar Namdev Posted On : May 20th, 2023

Assuming that you are research-oriented, I suggest you choose IIT Guwahati MTech in theoretical CS rather than MTech in CSE from IIT Hyderabad. From the choice of your research-related subjects, theoretical CS seems to be the best option. Moreover, the Mathematics and Computer Science department of IIT Guwahati is extremely good with a knowledgeable faculty base.

MTech at IIT Hyderabad on the other hand is more focused on campus-related work rather than actual theoretical knowledge of the subjects. 

It’s important to check if the research interests of the faculty align with your subject interests.

What should I join IIT Roorkee or IIT Hyderabad for MTech CSE?

PhD in Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IITH)

If you want to see rank-wise, of course, IIT Roorkee is the best option and you will notice a difference in a variety of parameters, but IIT Hyderabad is also a good option because it has good faculty members and offers all advanced courses. Placements are also good here. As a result, both are relatively similar.

Both are excellent Mtech programs, but IIT Roorkee has an advantage over IIT Hyderabad due to the older IIT and its superior research environment.

Which one is considered better, IIT Hyderabad for an M.Tech CSE (RA) or BITS Pilani for CSE?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : May 20th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Before I begin, let me clear the misconception that the 3-year MTech program is inferior in quality to the 2-year MTech program. Because of this false assumption, the higher ranking MTech students tend to choose the 2-year MTech programs instead of the 3-year program.

Similarity

  • In reality, the credibility of the degree you are awarded and the credits requirement of both programs are equal. 

Differences

  • The difference is that you will have to invest more time in your RA (research assistantship) duties. 3 year MTech is funded from research projects so you will be working on research projects quite early. 3 years are more than enough to get publications with the right determination and hard work. This is extremely beneficial for higher studies as well as making the most out of your skills.

Both IIT Hyderabad and IIT Bombay offer 3-year MTech programs. There may be some other IITs as well offering similar programs.

Between BITS and IIT Hyderabad, I think the latter is a better option from a research point of view. Additionally, IIT Hyderabad also has a locational advantage, better connectivity, industry, expert interactions, etc.

Should I choose 5 years (I.T. + robotics) at IIIT Allahabad or 5 years CSE at IIEST Shibpur?

RR
Radhika Roy Posted On : March 24th, 2021
Studied B.Tech at IIEST Shibpur (2019)

There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference. 

According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.

Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.

I have friends at both these institutes and based on what I have heard from them, I can vouch that the Integrated MTech CSE program offered by IIIT Bangalore is great. Here a few of the reasons why you should choose this institute for your int. Mtech. 

Reputation: IIIT Bangalore is among the most reputed colleges not only in Bangalore but in the whole world. 

Faculty: One of the major reasons for choosing the institute is the faculty base. You can check out the official website for the faculty profiles. Most of them have PhDs from top universities of the world like MIT, UC Barkley, IISc, IIT, etc.

Which is the better option for me? Mtech IT from IIIT Allahabad or Mtech CSE from IIT(ISM) Dhanbad?

AM
Ahana Majumdar Posted On : June 19th, 2021
M.Tech CSE - IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, 2020

The first thing you should consider is whether you want to pursue a Ph.D. or want a job after the completion of the course. I have a few friends at IIT ISM and I can tell you there are very few good faculties for CSE if you want guidance regarding Ph.D.

For any information regarding the faculty and research projects of IIIT Allahabad, you can visit both their faculty profile page and set a legitimate comparison with IIT (ISM).

Here are some other parameters of IIT (ISM), which you may find useful.

Placements:

The job prospects are increasing every year and the change is noticeable since its conversion to IIT. The institute also had a new director from IIT Kanpur. There also was a significant change in the placement cell, and the M.Tech placement stats have been kept under consideration, alongside B.Tech only after that.

The latest stats are as follows,

No. of Students Placed

31 out of 58

Average CTC

INR. 14 LPA

Highest CTC

INR 43.31 LPA

Top Recruiters

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Ernst & Young

Moreover, the summer and 6-month internships have also been good over the past few years. For instance, the 2021 passing out batch has received several summer intern offers from companies like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and Microsoft.

If you prepare for the coding session interviews from the beginning of the 1st year, then you are more likely to obtain internship opportunities. You can convert it to PPO before the placement season begins.

Other Parameters:

There is another thing you should consider. It is the number of students from either CSE or IT in B.Tech + M.Tech taking part in the placement season,

A total of 372 students participated in the placement drive from IIIT Allahabad while 203 participated from ISM Dhanbad.

However, there might not be a significant difference between companies that visit both institutes. Fewer participants in placements mean less competition.

So, I will suggest that you take all these factors into consideration and also do your own research. Consider other options too, if you have any.

What should I prefer, MTech (CSE) at DTU or MTech (CSE) at MNNIT Allahabad?

DT

Studied at Delhi Technological University

You should prefer MTech CSE at DTU. It offers better facilities. The infrastructure and hostel facilities of DTU are great. Located in the heart of Delhi, it offers better exposure to the industry. It is comparably easier to receive live projects, internships, and placement opportunities. Companies such as Microsoft, Wipro, Cisco, etc. take part in DTU placements. The average CTC for MTech CSE students is around INR 10 LPA - 12 LPA.
