One of my friends had both options, MTech in IIT Delhi and MTech in IISc Bangalore, however, despite his hailing from Delhi, he chose IISc Bangalore over IIT Delhi. Some strong reasons which influenced his decision were
All these pointers strongly inclined my friend towards IISc and he eventually completed his MTech from there.
Yes, Thapar University is a good option for pursuing an MTech in Computer Science and Engineering. The program covers various areas of computer science and is designed in such a way that students can complete it solely based on advanced coursework. Some problems, however, are taught through a combination of both coursework and project work.
As for the placements, usually, 100% of the batch gets placed in some of the most reputed research laboratories and companies in the country and even across the globe.
Overall, the quality of education, the faculty pool, and the placement opportunities offered by Thapar University make it a good option for students willing to pursue an MTech in CSE.
The M.Tech program in Computer Science at IIT Madras is considered a demanding graduate-level degree program that requires a strong grasp of computer science concepts and a high level of dedication and hard work. However, with the right approach and attitude, it can be a very enriching experience.
The level of difficulty of MTech depends on the courses you have specifically opted for and the professors teaching you. Some professors like to take the reins and have strict rules in terms of attendance and assignment submission deadlines while some have a laid-back attitude and leave it up to the students to be punctual and make the most out of the classes.
The project you chose for the second year and your guide also determines whether you will have a hectic schedule or can spare some time for leisure activities and hobbies. Choose wisely as these 2 years are very important in shaping your career. However, one should be ready to commit completely to their course and invest maximum time possible.
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.
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.
