How is the M.Tech life in JNTUH Hyderabad?
Life as an M.Tech student at JNTUH is quite satisfactory. We usually have 3 classes a day of 90 minutes each, for 2 semesters. We get the other 12 months for our project work. The classes are held for 5 days a week and 75% attendance is compulsory. Lab hours vary according to the respective department.
Most of the teachers are friendly, supportive, and highly qualified. The students mostly get placed in the 2nd semester itself with a package of at least 4 LPA.
The JNTUH infrastructure is well-maintained. The library has all the important books. The campus is green and the hostels are well-maintained especially the newly built ones. The sports infrastructure is also good. You can play Basketball, Volleyball, Table Tennis, Football and Cricket. There is a floodlight facility as well. Almost every evening, students can be spotted playing football on campus.
Thus, the M.Tech life at JNTUH is quite good and you won’t regret taking admission over here.
Is NIT Hamirpur a good college for M.Tech in any specialization of Civil Engineering?
NIT Hamirpur B.Tech Civil Engineering department lacks a research environment and proper lab facilities for both UG and PG programs. As far as academics are concerned, the department is ahead of many NITs. However, the infrastructure and teaching methodology are not in line with new-age requirements. Even the placement scenario for M.Tech Civil at NIT Hamirpur isn't good.
In comparison to other branches, the Department of Environmental Engineering and Energy Resources has better research facilities. For an M.Tech in Civil Engineering, I would like you to try these institutions - IIT Roorkee, BITS, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, NIT Allahabad, and NIT Delhi.
NIT Hamirpur isn’t the best choice for an M.Tech Civil program.
What is the better college for an M.Tech VLSI, NITK Surathkal or IIT Guwahati?
In my opinion, IIT Guwahati is a better option than NITK Surathkal. Here is why:
- IIT Guwahati alumni network is stronger than NIT Surathkal.
- The IIT tag proves to be helpful in attracting good companies irrespective of whichever branch you belong to.
- Another major nightlight of IIT Guwahati is the beautiful campus that is a treat to the eyes of a nature lover
- The peer group will comprise the most talented geniuses in the country, unlike NIT.
- Many major recruiters tend to visit IITs only.
- A few companies like Qualcomm do not open R&d profiles in NITs but they do in older IITs.
- The package size offered by some companies like CISCO varies in IITs and NITs.
All in all, IIT Guwahati is better than NIT Surathkal in many aspects.

IIT BHU is one of the best engineering colleges in our country. So its placements are certainly good. The placements are slightly better for B.Techs, but even M.Techs receive ample opportunities. The placements are above 90% for CS, IT,EXTC, and core specializations.

How much is a part-time M.Tech in Anna University worth?
Honestly speaking, a part-time M.Tech course is not of much worth. A course like M.Tech requires a practical approach. This won't be much possible at Anna University. So all you will be left behind is a title attached to your name. This course is also a waste of time and money as the fees of this course are quite high.
This course won't yield you any valuable results unless you are extremely passionate and a self-learner.
