Should I join M.Tech IIT Kharagpur/Bombay/Madras if I want to prepare for IES?
This is a bit of a subjective question. An M.tech from the IITs won’t help in your IES preparation in any way. So both the paths are very different.
If you decide upon pursuing an M.Tech, then IIT Kharagpur will be an ideal choice. The M.tech program from IIT Kharagpur is one the best among the IITs. Here you will get to learn in-depth concepts of your preferred specialization.
You will also get to develop an academic mindset. The faculty is kind and helpful. They will encourage you to write papers and publish them. You will have the option either to go for a Phd or to apply for jobs at top companies. Because of IIT Kharagpur’s vast industry network, you will get to sit for the interviews of top companies. If you perform well in these interviews, you will have a chance to get placed in a top brand.
As an M.Tech student of IIT KGP, I can assure you of the excellence of my college in the field of engineering. You won’t regret the decision of choosing IIT Kharagpur for your higher studies.

Why is the IT department of KIET better than AKG?
As a current student at KIET, my opinion is that the IT branch at KIET is better than that at AKG.
The IT branch has excellent labs and an amazing faculty. You’ll get all sorts of facilities that a department needs. A variety of workshops, seminars, conferences, and guest lectures are organized regularly.
The placement rates have been consistently good over the past 5-6 years. In 2023, the IT branch's placement percentage was about 93.81%.

Why there are so many (nearly 200) dropouts every year from IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur?
There are many dropouts every year from IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur. This is because there is intense academic pressure on the students at the IITs. The IITs have strict academics, and the huge coursework can be very overwhelming for the students.
The students are under constant pressure to produce the best results. This causes most of them to suffer and eventually drop out. They face burnout and stress, which is why they take such a big step.
Another reason is that some students enter the IITs with unrealistic expectations. These are obviously not met, so they choose to drop out. Some students also take this step because of financial difficulties and family emergencies. Then there are students who get good job opportunities, and so they choose to drop out during their PG or doctoral degrees. There is also a group of students who take this step to follow their passions, as they come to realize that IITs were not their dream after all.
These are the most common reasons why students end up dropping out from top IITs like IIT Delhi and IIT KGP.
Is LPU or Chennai Institute of Technology good for the CSE group?

- Placement: CIT average CTC is around 38 INR LPA with big recruiters like Goldman Sachs, Microsoft and Oracle. LPU also offers better investment packages than CIT.
- Campus and Facilities: CIT has an excellent campus with decent facilities. Because the LPU is larger, it provides a uniform view for everyone.
- Alumni base: Manipal University has a better alumni base than LPU.
Overall, Manipal University seems to have an advantage in terms of placements, campuses and alumni network.
