Which one should I choose: MS by Research program or M Tech at IIIT Hyderabad?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 2nd, 2023

If your future goal is getting a high paying job, choose the M.Tech program at IIIT Hyderabad.The course fee is high but an average package of around INR 31 LPA is offered to M.Tech students. Thus, you will be able to easily cover your education expenses within a year of your job. 

If you are really interested in Research, you should choose the MS by Research program. The average time for completing the MS program is 3 years, but depending upon your guide, you can also complete the program earlier than that. At present, the duration has even come down to 2.5 years.

MS students sit with M.Tech students during IIIT Hyderabad placements and get equal placement opportunities. However, as an MS student you will get so involved in research work that instead of going for a job you will probably end up doing Ph.D. If you are interested in CV/ML, its course structure and guidance at IIIT Hyderabad are top notch. The MS course is very flexible and you study subjects that are relevant for your research.  

Overall, whether you go for MS by Research or M.Tech at IIIT Hyderabad is a matter of your personal goals.

RP
Raveesha Pandey Posted On : July 30th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras
Both IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras are excellent institutes for M.Sc in Physics, considering the student is actually interested in learning the subject to the core.
The points below give a brief overview of IIT Madras, stating some of the advantages of choosing it over IIT Kanpur.
? Professors will help you to get involved in challenging projects during your course, with specializations in complex topics like cosmology, etc.
? The main motto of the faculties of IIT Madras is to build their students to at least a certain limit of knowledge, over anything else.
? Most of the professors have a solid foundation in advanced concepts of theoretical physics, for example, Prof. M V Satyanarayana, Prof. M Pattabiraman, Prof. V Balakrishnan, Prof. A Lakshminarayan, etc.
? Although the level of questions set during the exams at IIT Madras is always up to the mark, almost no students fail in the institute due to the teaching facilities offered throughout the year.
? Talking about the campus of IIT Madras, it is extremely beautiful, being close to the sea as well.

How can one clear the JNU entrance for MSc biotechnology?

YM
Yash Mishra Posted On : November 10th, 2021
M.Sc. Biotechnology, Bharathiar University (2021)

Here are some of the tips from my friends at JNU that can help you score well in the entrance for M.Sc Biotechnology. 

  • Clear your basics on core subjects like Biochemistry (Enzyme Kinetics, Bio-Energetics), Genetics, Cell-biology. 
  • Practice probability-related questions. These are quite scoring and there are a good number of questions asked from these topics. 
  • Ecology and Evolution are the other areas that you should stress. If your undergraduate study included immunology developmental biology then you should revise those topics well. 
  • Also, practice from previous year’s question papers. Also, try to cover the last 5 years of GATE life science papers. 
  • Try to do maximum number of questions in both sections of the examination. 

There are very few seats available, so prepare sincerely.

How do you feel an Integrated MSc course from NIT Surat (SVNIT) is?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : January 3rd, 2024

An integrated MSc. from SVNIT will be beneficial for your future as NITs are the second most revered engineering colleges in our country. Chasing one’s dream is a good idea, but one must also be aware of our future prospects. SVNIT is a good choice in terms of placements.

Some of my friends who graduated from SVNIT know of their batchmates who received job offers of around 30 LPA from foreign recruiters. Even Indian organizations pay SVNIT graduates handsomely, but the foreign offers are higher. 

Ultimately, it is you who has to make the most of the available opportunities. Thus, I would recommend you join SVNIT for an integrated MSc.

Should I opt for an M. Sc. Math course in BITS Pilani?

TS
Trina Saha Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

You are perhaps going for one of the most difficult streams of M.Sc, which is, of course, Maths. Few of my friends are studying there and as they have mentioned, by the time you reach your third year, one of the subjects in Maths would have a good number of theorems.

The next thing you would have is coordinate geometry as a part of your Maths 1. This would come in handy while solving double/triple integrations.

However, this is still the base of things. It gets complicated ahead- although, not sure if that would be in the third year essentially. Perhaps for better clarity, you should try and reach out to someone who is actually doing his/her M.Sc from BITS Pilani

  • Now, when it comes to application and coding Mathematics, the wisest combination to opt for is M.Sc Maths along with CS.
  • By the time you become a pro at coding, these math concepts wherein you studied geometry might come in handy for the applications that you would use.
  • Try and sustain a CGPA of 8+, if you are genuinely serious about carrying along with CS as a second subject option.

My friends mentioned that students who are carrying along two degrees at the same time have CS as their ultimate aim. There were a few friends of mine who with a double degree, either ended up slogging into semesters, achieved CS with hardly any effort, and eventually, some of them had to choose chemical/civil out of sheer compulsion.

Am I making a mistake by preferring IISER Kolkata over IIT Kharagpur MSc Integrated Physics?

MR
Malabika Roychowdhury Posted On : December 21st, 2021
BS-MS Dual Degree Biology & Junior Research Fellow, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata

No, it is not a mistake to prefer IISER Kolkata over IIT KGP for an MSc integrated course in Physics. You are going to get a pure science degree so it makes more sense to get the degree from an institute that focuses on that degree. IIT KGP is popular for its engineering degrees. So, you will be mostly surrounded by people who are pursuing engineering degrees. You won’t get to meet many like-minded students. The course structure of integrated MSc at IITs is also outdated. 

At IISER Kolkata, you will get a decent course structure and better faculties for an integrated MSc.

Between MSc physics at BITS Goa and MSc physics at BITS Hyderabad, which one should one choose?

AP
Anamika Pathak Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Studied Bachelors in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2018)

You should definitely go with BITS Goa. The physics faculty at the institute is really good and no one can reiterate this enough. If you happen to take courses like Mechanics and OScil, you will realize this in the first year itself.

Moreover, the college festival, Waves, is a major highlight. Many discussions regarding the best departments in the college have always had synchronous replies with physics being the major answer. The faculty members are well versed in the field and are dedicated individuals.

But if you are still confused, you must know that the curriculum and syllabus are the same on all three campuses. Your degree will finally specify that you graduated from BITS Pilani.

How is the integrated MSc at BIT Mesra?

AB
Arun Biswas Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra

If you are interested in pursuing a career in research, the integrated MSc program offered by BIT Mesra is a great option to consider. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • The program offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide range of topics in mathematics, computing, physics, chemistry, and food technology. This provides students with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of science and prepares them for advanced study and research.
  • One of the unique features of the program is that it offers an exit option after the third year, allowing students to leave with a BSc degree if they choose to do so. This is not available at many other colleges and can be helpful for those who may want to pursue other options after completing their undergraduate studies.
  • If you choose to continue with the program and complete the full five-year integrated MSc, you will have the opportunity to specialize in mathematics and computing, which is equivalent to a computer science degree. This specialization can be particularly useful if you are interested in pursuing a career in software development or data science.
  • While placements should not be the primary focus of a science degree, the mathematics and computing specialization at BIT Mesra has a good placement record. Students who work hard and excel in their studies can expect to have job opportunities available to them after graduation.

The Integrated MSc program at BIT Mesra is a rigorous and demanding course of study. It requires a strong commitment to hard work and dedication to succeed. However, for those who are passionate about science and research, it can be a highly rewarding and fulfilling experience.
