Should I pursue M.Tech from IIIT Allahabad or NIT's?
While choosing a college for MTech between NITs and IIIT Allahabad you can refer to the following preference order. The following colleges have been ranked based on curriculum, placements, faculty, research work, student life, infrastructure, and other important aspects.
- NIT Surathkal
- NIT Warangal
- NIT Trichy
- NIT Calicut
- NIT Allahabad
- VNIT Nagpur
- SVNIT Surat
- MNIT Jaipur
- IIIT Hyderabad
- IIIT Bangalore
- NIT Bhopal
- NIT Rourkela
- IIIT Allahabad
- NIT Delhi
The reason I have placed IIIT Allahabad second last is because IIIT Allahabad is known for its BTech program and nit MTech program. Most software companies don’t permit MTech students to sit for placements and prefer BTech students only. You can not match the level of IITs and NITs. Moreover, you will find no passionate coders in MTech IIIT Allahabad.
How is an M.Tech in Instrument Technology which is offered at IIT-Delhi? What are the placement opportunities?
Yes, a student in Textile Engineering can opt for a minor in CS at IIT Delhi subject to the following conditions
- BTech and Dual degree in MnC (Maths and Computing) cannot apply for this program.
- The maximum number of students allowed to minor in Computer Science every year is 20.
- The candidate applying for a minor in CE must have necessarily cleared courses COL100(Introduction to computer science) and COL106(Data Structures and Algorithms) with a minimum grade point of 8 in each of them.
- COL100 will not be counted toward the minor areas.
- COL 106 will not be considered if it has been cleared as a core subject.
- The candidate must have cleared at least 3 Department cores and the remaining courses can be done from Department electives.

Any student of Textile Engineering who fulfills all the above criteria is eligible for opting for a minor in CS.
Is there any scope of doing an M.Tech in Applied Mechanics from MNNIT Allahabad?
I have a few friends pursuing MTech Applied Mechanics from MNNIT Allahabad. According to their review, the Department of Applied Mechanics at MNNIT is known for its rigid and research-oriented teachers.
If you plan to complete a Ph.D. and further studies after M.tech then this course is a good option.

However, if you are opting for MTech just to prepare for BTech level competitive examinations, then it will be better not to choose this department.
MTech students do get placement offers in the on-campus placement drive. If you work hard and maintain good grades, you are likely to secure a placement offer. Many private companies visit the campus for placement drives. Securing a placement offer depends more on your effort.
Is it worth giving 10 lakhs for an M.Tech self-sponsored in IIT Hyderabad?
I think it’s highly illogical to charge such high fees for an MTech self-sponsored at IIT Hyderabad. Usually, they consider industry-sponsored and self-sponsored as equal. However, the fees for sponsored candidates are always higher than for MHRD candidates. So I would recommend you to clear GATE or get into an industry in order to do your Mtech as 10 Lakhs for an MTech is not worth it and might put you in a financial hole. In many cases, self-sponsored students are considered inferior by the professors.
Ultimately, go for it only if you are financially stable and can afford it. Else, go for other options like GATE, industrial jobs, or many other NITs and IITs.
How is the placement for an M.Tech in NIT, Rourkela (all branches)?
Many companies visit the CSE branch every year with a decent salary package. Only a limited number of core companies approach students from the EE and EC branches. The placement support at BM and BT is relatively poor at NIT Rourkela.

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

What will be the scope after doing an M.Tech in climate science and technology at IIT Bhubaneswar?
The trend of Climate Science and Technology is much higher in the Western world as compared to the Eastern world. However, China, Singapore, Japan, and Australia are among the countries that are investing heavily in the field of climate change. By mid-2020-2030, even India will understand the dangers of climate change. This is when such courses will become popular even in India.
At IIT Bhubaneswar, the data for M.Tech Climate Science and Technology placements 2023 was quite promising.

Though not as good as CSE or ECE placement statistics, it was at par with most other branches of M.Tech.
As of now, one can say that job opportunities and salary offers in the Climate Change field are not very high. In the coming years, there is a high chance that companies will look for professionals with expertise in the climate change department.
You should also consider the present situation deeply before making the final decision. As of now, this course has huge potential in the research field. However, job opportunities in the field of Climate Science and Climate Change are very limited, especially in India. Salary scopes will also differ from one university to another for any of the M.Tech branches and so you should also make comparisons with other universities.
