The key to manage your UPSC preparation while doing an MTech from IIT Delhi is to score well in your optional subjects rather than General Subjects. A successful candidate scores 275+ in optional whereas an unsuccessful candidate scores around 240. The General Subjects' scores are usually the same.
So prepare well for optional in MTech because you can prepare for GS in just a year. Focus more on optional as it’s a major criterion for selection.
If you believe in yourself and think that you can do well in M.Tech, then you should consider going for NIT rather than joining any company. This is because cracking the CS GATE exam is not easy and there is no guarantee that you will be able to get admission to any IIT next year. Don't waste your one year and go for M.Tech instead.
Here are some reasons why you should consider going for M.Tech at NIT:
Pursuing M.Tech at NIT can provide you with ample opportunities, good placements, exposure, guidance from experienced faculty, and a strong network.
At MANIT, CSE and ECE branches have a great placement record. Most IT companies prefer students from this branch. Almost all the companies that come for the UG placement in the placement drive also allows MTech students for interviews.
The only thing you should be knowing is basic aptitude and good English. Also, knowledge about software and computer-related fields is required. At present, CSE is the best branch at the institute. Many MNCs visit the campus and most students get placed.
The recent placement statistics for MTech CSE at the institute are as follows.

Finally, if you want to pursue Mtech CSE from NIT Bhopal, don't worry about placement opportunities and work hard on your academics.
If your future goal is getting a high paying job, choose the M.Tech program at IIIT Hyderabad.The course fee is high but an average package of around INR 31 LPA is offered to M.Tech students. Thus, you will be able to easily cover your education expenses within a year of your job.
If you are really interested in Research, you should choose the MS by Research program. The average time for completing the MS program is 3 years, but depending upon your guide, you can also complete the program earlier than that. At present, the duration has even come down to 2.5 years.
MS students sit with M.Tech students during IIIT Hyderabad placements and get equal placement opportunities. However, as an MS student you will get so involved in research work that instead of going for a job you will probably end up doing Ph.D. If you are interested in CV/ML, its course structure and guidance at IIIT Hyderabad are top notch. The MS course is very flexible and you study subjects that are relevant for your research.
Overall, whether you go for MS by Research or M.Tech at IIIT Hyderabad is a matter of your personal goals.
No, it's certainly not a wise decision to pursue an MTech after completing BTech from NIT Trichy. The courses and the approach are similar, giving you no newer perspectives and wasting 2 years as well as the money spent. A better alternative is to go for an MS or Ph.D. abroad instead. That will be the true utilization of your money, knowledge, and time.
However, if you are hesitant about going abroad, an MBA from an Indian B school is also a great option.
An MTech in IIT should only be considered if you have a low CGPA and have no project achievement up your sleeve. The MTech course will give you a second chance to improve your grades and work well on projects improving your profile as a whole. This will help you open better Ph.D. options. But if you are not planning to do one, then MTech is again of no use.
SVNIT witnesses decent M.Tech placements. But for someone who wishes to work as a teacher, there are good options. This is because a large number of colleges and coaching institutes visit the campus for recruitment. The companies look for a certain specialization, in accordance with the job requirements.
Intel and Marvell Semiconductor visit the campus seeking VLSI, Communication systems and Computer Science students. They do not make direct recruitments. Instead, they hire students as interns and then later offer them PPOs.
Bombardier, Qualcomm and General Electric hire from M.Tech Electrical. L & T hires Civil and Mechanical students, and WSP hires Civil students. Akash institute, Base and WiFi visit for teaching recruitments.
M.Tech placements are average at even the IITs. I would recommend you look for off-campus placements as well.
Basically, a comparison between the colleges can be made according to the choices and interests of the students. The various factors are taken into consideration when we are choosing M.Tech in VLSI.
Categories | M.Tech VLSI at NIT Goa |
Course Fee | 2.01 lakhs |
Number of companies visited | 45+ |
Number of students placed | 80-90% |
Highest package offered | 14.3 LPA |
Average Package Offered | 4.2 LPA |
NIT Goa has affordable fees and decent placement offers can be a preferred option for many. So before making the choice weigh all the pros and cons before getting admission in the college.
When it comes to choosing between IIIT Allahabad and VNIT Nagpur for an MTech in CSE based on placements, there are several factors to consider. Here are some key points to help you make an informed decision:
In conclusion, both IIIT Allahabad and VNIT Nagpur have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to placements. It is essential to evaluate your options carefully and choose the institution that aligns with your career goals, interests, and preferences. It is also important to put in your best effort and work hard to succeed, regardless of which institution you choose.
NSUT is a well-regarded institute in the field of engineering education but is yet to make its mark in the field. There are many other better engineering colleges out there that should be given preference over NSUT.

I think it’s better to consider other options like DTU and IIIT Delhi that offer better MTech programs in the same location.
As an IITB undergraduate, you may observe that some UGs do not respect M.Techs from IIT Bombay. However, this is not a fair judgment as M.Techs work hard on their projects, have great practical knowledge of their stream, and know their stuff. While clearing JEE is a parameter to gauge one's intelligence, it does not solely determine one's worth or capability.
Interestingly, the placement survey of the past 2 years reveals that M.Techs give tough competition to UGs during placements and get placed in core jobs with good packages. In fact, in some cases, fewer UGs get placed in core jobs and instead opt for non-core sectors or start-ups. Companies like BMW and Mahindra have taken in a good number of M.Techs from the mechanical stream.
Therefore, it is crucial to recognize your capabilities and potential, and not judge or compare yourself based on the degree you possess. B.Techs and M.Techs have different parameters of evaluation, and both seem to have done well for themselves in their respective fields. Remember to focus on your skills and knowledge, work hard, and opportunities will follow
