Which is better for an M.Tech in thermal, NIT Warangal or IIT Guwahati?
MTech in Thermal is equally decent at NIT Warangal and IIT Guwahati. Both institutes give an edge to each other in most aspects and thus it leaves us only with a few parameters to evaluate IIT Guwahati and NIT Warangal.
- Ranking: IIT Guwahati Overall ranking by NIRF is 8 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 whereas NIT Warangal, Warangal Overall ranking by NIRF is 45 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022.
- Location: Locations-wise, IIT Guwahati is the clear winner considering its low average temperature and splendid natural beauty.
- Alumni: NIT Warangal has an upper hand here because of its early establishment. The extensive alumni network helps the students to secure placements, internships, fundraising, and many more.
- Hostel: IIT Guwahati has excellent accommodation facilities with single rooms for every student irrespective of your college year. NIT Warangal may or may not have twin sharing.
- Placements: Placements of both institutes are similar with IIT Guwahati having a slight advantage over NIT Warangal due to its higher average package.
- Value: For those planning to pursue a Ph.D., IIT Guwahati is a better choice because of the IIT tag. However, if you just want to pursue MTech and prepare for competence exams, then NIT will be a decent choice.
- Fees: NIT Warangal MTech fees is ?1.34 Lakhs )1st Year Fees) whereas IIT Guwahati MTech fees are ? 67,350/Yr
Sparing the alumni network, everything speaks in favor of IIT Guwahati and makes it a better choice than NIT Warangal.
What is the average CTC obtained by a Mtech Civil engineer from IIT Roorkee? How much % of placements in MTech Civil?
My knowledge is limited to MTech Civil Engineering placements from IIT Kanpur only. But I believe the placement scenario of IIT Kanpur and IIT Roorkee is pretty much the same.
The core Civil Engineering companies prefer structural engineers to transportation engineering and the competition is also high. For a structural engineer position, you might even have to compete with dual-degree students as companies generally prefer them for the structural engineering profile. Also, the number of structural engineers is higher than transportation engineers theory increasing the competition.
Coming to placements, MTech civil engineers rarely land good packages. A few consulting companies like Spectrum offer a very low package of around INR 4-5 LPA and recruit you as a trainee for 6 months. Lnt also offers 36000 per month to engineering trainees for a period of 6 months.
The general distribution of MTech Civil engineers is as follows
- 30% get placement
- 20% opt for a Ph.D
- 30% are employed within 6 months of course completion.
- The rest 20% goes to ESE/PSU
The average package depends on a lot of factors like what career prospect you go for.
I'm getting a seat at NIT Jalandhar in production engineering. What is the scope of the branch in India? Which master's should I choose: an MBA or an MTech?
Scope of Industrial and Production Engineering is good at NIT Jalandhar. But you will be offered less salary in comparison to Mechanical Engineering.
But if you go for a non-core job, the salaries offered might be above average.
Between M.Tech and MBA, I will recommend you go for MBA. This is because M.Tech placements are very low and very little scope is there.
Choosing MBA will get you the following benefits:
-
Better salary than M.Tech.
-
The curriculum for IPE is easier so you can also prepare for CAT alongside
-
The faculty is extremely supportive
-
The syllabus of IPE and MBA is somewhat similar so it becomes easy for you
People choose M.Tech thinking its a bit similar to IPE. But in reality IPE has a practical and managerial subjects whereas M.Tech has more technical subjects. So don’t get confused and just go for IPE.
Will IIT Gandhinagar shortlist the 2nd round of M.Tech students?
No, IIT Gandhinagar does not shortlist candidates from 2nd round of M tech candidates. Also, they don’t provide any waiting list for the same. They keep the seats vacant if anyone does not take admission. Although it is not correct as the seats remain vacant which can be filled by other waiting list candidates and their year will also not get wasted but this is not in our hands.
M.Tech seats are first filled by premium IITs and then the remaining seats by outside students who have qualified GATE. If you enter the college by qualifying GATE then you will be eligible for a scholarship as well.
The college also conducts its personal test for M.Tech admissions. In which they ask quantitative, reasoning and engineering mathematics. There are no spot admissions as of now. As the college is new more changes are expected in the coming future.
How is MTech in signal processing and communication from IIT Mandi?
The M.Tech in signal processing offered by IIT Mandi was launched in 2017 and thus is a relatively new branch. This program has been taught in the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering (SCEE) since August 2017.
The program is designed to give importance to theory and exposure to industry needs.
It consists of two parts
- coursework
- and a year-long project.
The course work is structured to give solid theoretical foundations and practical, hands-on experience which would enable the student to tackle problems in signal processing, communications, and machine learning holistically.
In order to prepare the students for product development by the end of the first year, courses like Advanced Programming Practicum, Embedded Systems, IoT Systems, and Systems Design are included in the curriculum. In addition to the post-graduate project, these courses familiarize the students with the system design aspects relevant to signal processing, communications, and machine learning. The majority of the faculty is in image processing so the maximum course work is from image processing and very little from communication.
The hostel facilities, however, are quite a disappointment with students getting extremely small double occupancy rooms double in single occupancy rooms. The hostel rooms lack basic amenities like tables, chairs, LAN ports, etc. The first-year students are made to stay on the North campus while most labs and classes are on the South campus. Students have to travel a hilly terrain of 3 km just for attending lab sessions. With all honesty, the placement scenario of this particular specialization is poor. The only advantage of IIT Mandi you will have is the amazing climate and surroundings. Thus, make IIT Mandi your last choice and try to target NITs instead.
How are M.Tech placements for structural engineering in IIT Hyderabad?
Placement for M-tech in institutes like IIT varies from batch to batch due to the lesser requirement of an M-tech candidate to do a particular work. The placements of structural engineering or that of any branch depend more on the placement division of the institute of that batch.
The placements for structural engineering are decent with an average package of around INR 5 LPA. I deem it as one of the best institutes to study structural engineering in India considering the fact that its research work is on par with many old IITs. The institute renders an opportunity to learn and grow with the most genius minds in the country
What are the placement opportunities in IIIT Allahabad for MTech?
IIIT Allahabad offers decent placement opportunities to M.Tech students. During the 2022 placement drive, PG students received an average CTC of INR 19.57 LPA. For IIIT Allahabad placements 2020 and 2021, the average CTC offered to PG students was INR 14.57 LPA and INR 14.45 LPA, respectively. Many top-tier companies take part in the campus recruitment of the institute.

Is it worth doing an M.Tech at NIT Trichy, or should I drop?
If you plan to specialize in one particular branch related to your graduation branch, you can opt for it. Or, if you are currently working in some organization or have some work experience and there is a demand for a specialist in your organization, you can opt for it.
If you are not yet placed and still pursuing your B.Tech, I would suggest you first go for the placements and then give it a thought. NIT Trichy is a reputed institute and offers good academics. In fact, it is among the top NITs.
How is an M.Tech in machine design in IIT Bhubaneswar?
M.Tech in Machine Design at IIT Bhubaneswar is good. Most of the faculty is excellent when it comes to teaching. The professors always encourage the students, both inside the classroom and outside it.
A Design and Innovation Centre (DIC) in the Department runs directly under MHRD. Here the students can try to execute their ideas. The placement scenario is equally good. Students are placed in various companies and teaching institutes. The rest of the students decide to go for their Ph.D.
The placement statistics for M.Tech in Machine Design for the year 2023 at IIT Bhubaneswar are-
