Should I join M.Tech IIT Kharagpur/Bombay/Madras if I want to prepare for IES?

PS
Pravalika Sahu Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Mtech IITB

If your goal is to prepare for IES, it is not advisable to join M.Tech at IIT Kharagpur/Bombay/Madras. The M.Tech program at IITs is designed to help you gain a deeper understanding of your field of interest, which can aid in your career. However, it is not beneficial for IES preparation, and attempting to do both may be challenging, as the coursework is rigorous. If you try to do both, it may hinder your progress in both areas. 

Furthermore, M.Tech programs at IITs are often impacted by PSU recruitment. Students who don't get into PSU's take M.Tech as a backup option, but they may leave the program if they receive a PSU offer, leaving vacant seats in M.Tech. This prevents people who are interested in pursuing M.Tech from getting admission. Therefore, if you join the M.Tech program, you may be taking a spot that someone else who is genuinely interested in M.Tech could have had. Hence, it is advisable not to go for it if your primary goal is to prepare for IES.

Why there are so many (nearly 200) dropouts every year from IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur?

AS
Ankita Sinha Posted On : February 17th, 2021
Studies at Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (2022)

There are several reasons for students dropping out from IITs, including lack of interest and passion, pressure, and even not the inability to cope up with the institutional competition. The table below provides some statistics regarding the dropout rates at IITs in recent years.

Academic year

Dropout rates

2015-16

2.25%

2016-17

1.6%

2017-18

1.71%

2018-19

1.46%

2019-20

0.68

Reasons to Drop-out:

  • There are people who motivate students by saying that cracking JEE Advance and going to an IIT is the final task to settle in life. This is a wrong notion that is usually imbibed into the minds of students.
  • There are instances in which students, after getting into IIT, can’t cope up with the syllabus. They get frustrated, and before things turn out to be worse, they quit engineering.
  • On the other hand, there are some students, who after getting into engineering realize that they have a different passion in life and try to make a career in it, thus quitting the degree program.

These are some of the reasons prevalent for dropouts in IITs. But, it is to be considered that engineering is a way of life. It teaches the students to pass through any ups and downs in life as well as careers.

Will it be worth doing mtech in transportation from iit bhubaneswar instead choosing water resources from iit kgp ?

DG
Disha Gupta Posted On : August 14th, 2020
B.Tech CSEIIT Bhubaneswar

This totally depends upon your interest in the subject. You should give preference to the subject rather than a degree from college because your subject will shape your future.

The school of water resources is one of the pioneer centers for education and training in water quality and quantity management. There is an advanced research water quality lab in IIT Kharagpur. It is an old IIT and will provide more opportunities for higher studies in foreign universities, people also go to foreign universities from IIT Bhubaneswar but opportunities in IIT KGP will be more.

The water resources have limited scope considering the Indian employment scenario. If you are giving preference to the subject then join IIT Bhubaneswar. If your preference is not the subject then join IIT KGP because exposure and opportunities will be more in IIT KGP. A student planning for Ph.D. after M-tech will have much better scopes in IIT KGP than IIT Bhubaneswar.
