How is IIIT Allahabad for an M.Tech?
I did my M.Tech in Microelectronics from IIIT Allahabad. Our college has top infrastructure, hostels, internet facilities, fests, etc. But I would like to enlighten you about the lab facilities at IIITA.
IIITA has one of the best labs for fabrication. It is equipped with all the basic machines. The Phd. students and lab staff are very helpful, and will provide you all the necessary guidance. ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) is installed in the lab.
In IIITA, you’ll operate the lab machines by yourself. This includes washing used funnels, cleaning the oxidation chamber, and cleaning the sputtering machine after finishing your tasks. Mandatory lab timings are from 9am to 5 pm, but you can access the labs at any time.
The professor in charge of the fabrication lab, Dr. B.R. Singh has 40+ years of experience in fabrication. Other than fabrication, all the softwares for Analog and Digital Design are available. The same are headed over by different faculty members. The field of NanoElectronics is headed by Dr. Sitangshu Bhattacharya.
If you are interested in M.Tech Microelectronics, I can assure you that IIIT Allahabad is the right place for you.
Is CSAM at IIIT Delhi worth it?
No, CSAM at IIIT Delhi is definitely not worth it. Here is a detailed review of the program as shared by a friend
- Branch Structure: In the first year, students are taught subjects the same as CSE, The course structure becomes challenging after the first year, There are 2 math courses added every semester. In the 4th semester complex subjects like Algorithm design, Abstract Algebra, Differential Equations, and an elective from Physics, Maths, Bio, etc. are included in the syllabus. No core CSE courses like DBMS, CO, or OS are even offered to CSAM students. Overall, there are 7 compulsory Math courses and 5 CS courses. So, out of 15 courses to be done in the last 2 years, 12 are compulsory. 2 are compulsory for everyone and CSAM students have only 1 slot.
- Professors: Most professors are highly educated, and offer extremely challenging courses. Students aren’t asked basic questions or theorems taught in class. The grading scheme is also quite tough for these courses.
- Placements: CSAM placements at IIIT Delhi depend more on individual profiles and skills than the college. Usually, companies dont prefer CSAM students over CSE because they are taught core courses like DBMS, OS, CO, etc. CSAM BTech placement percentage this year stood at 98.44%.
All in all, the CSAM branch of IIIT Delhi isn't a good choice if you are primarily interested in placements. It is futile to study such high-level Math if only your knowledge of Data Structures, OS, DBMS, etc. will be considered during placements. CSAM should be considered only if you are interested in research in applied math.
Why is BITS Pilani compared to IIT Guwahati if it seems to have a better faculty and an IIT tag?
Here are a few points pertaining to the faculty of BITS Pilani.
- The faculty pool is a mix of both good and bad professors but the quality of faculty is no less than IIT.
- The BITS tag is more exclusive because there are only 3 campuses whereas IIT has 23 campuses.
- Also, Bitsat is more competitive than JEE Advanced, so the number of aspirants per seat is pretty high, thus increasing peer quality,
- I have seen many examples of people who scored well in JEE Advanced but failed to get good marks in BITSAT.
Lastly, comparing engineering colleges is highly illogical as it is all a matter of your competence and not the institute you belong to.

What is the criteria for changing of branch in BIT MESRA after first year? Is it difficult or easy?
The branch change policy solely relies on the CGPA. The candidate should have scored an 8.5 or higher in the semester. The CSE branch has tight competition, so seat vacancies are limited here. In such cases, you need to have a 9+ GPA to secure a seat at the CSE branch.
You need to be consistent in your studies to get an 8 or higher in your semesters. It is a bit challenging for a newcomer, as they need to adapt to the new environment by giving equal importance to their studies. So be persistent and attend all classes and labs; then you can easily change your branch
