M.Tech Bioprocess Engineering specifically revolves around Mathematical concepts and even contains concepts related to engineering mathematics.

My brother was an M.Tech student at JNTUH a few years back. He lived in the Krishna hostel during those days. According to him, you should not expect much in terms of facilities. The hostel is comfortable but during the rains my brothers’ room got filled with rain water and he had a tough time protecting his belongings.
The greenery of the campus is soothing and the playgrounds are nice. The mess food is limited in quantity and is pretty average in taste. The hostel administration is slow. Some of my brother’s friends used to sleep in the library and TeQip when their rooms got affected with mosquitoes. You will find the TeQip and library much better places to study rather than the hostel.
My brother did not have a pleasant experience at the JNTUH Kukatpally boys hostel as an M.Tech student.

The entire first year of an MTech in Thermal Engineering student at IIT Madras revolves around tremendous coursework. Once you have completed your first year, you are expected to select your guide for the research work you will be doing the next year.
The second year is also very hectic in which the entire 3rd semester is spent on placements and the 4th semester consists of thesis work. The entire program is hectic and it’s advisable to pull your socks from the first year itself, or else you will face problems during placements.
To get a good package from a good company, make sure your CGPA does not go lower than 7.5-8. If your basics are strong, you will spend less time doing your assignments and preparing for exams thus relaxing your tight schedule a bit.
M.Tech has generally pursued research purposes. If you are highly interested in your subject then go for it without any further hesitation. To enhance your knowledge is never a decision that would make you regret it later.
You might even be offered an opportunity to opt for the post of Assistant Professor or Research Assistant. Your B.Tech qualification would suffice the criterion for private companies as a degree in M.Tech is not much of value in the corporate field.
You may opt for this course if you are immensely interested in acquiring a job post as a research assistant, etc. Otherwise, it would merely be a waste of time.
