How good are Placements in NIT Rourkela for M Tech CSE? Please Help

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 14th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The quality of roles and packages offer to MTech CSE students of NIT Rourkela depends on individual skills and expectations and therefore cannot be generalized. 

Here is a brief overview of NIT Rourkela MTech in CSE 

Duration

2 years (Full Time)

Course Level

PG Degree

Total Tuition Fees

INR 3.56 Lakh

Total Seats

25

Highest CTC

INR 34.2 LPA

Average CTC

INR 12.1 LPA

Lowest CTC

INR 3.6 LPA 

Median CTC

INR 6.8 LPA 

Top Recruiters

Accenture, Adobe, Amazon, Capgemini, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Infosys, Reliance Industries Limited

Overall, the placement conditions are decent and not all students get placed. Most CS companies allow only BTech students to sit for placements and therefore Mech students end up in service-based companies like TCS, and IBM (GBS). This poor placement scenario stems from the outdated CSE curriculum at NIT Rourkela. The curriculum focuses on theoretical concepts only and students are not exposed to practical experiences.

So, I will suggest you go for CSE M.tech at NIT Rourkela only if you are unemployed after your BTech or you want to pursue your career academically. Joining this course on the pretext of getting better jobs will not be a wise decision.

Should IIT Patna be preferred for an M.Tech in CSE? Are NIT Tirchy, Warangal, Surathkal better than IIT Patna for an M.Tech in CSE?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : June 21st, 2023

Yes, NIT Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal are better options for MTech than IIT Patna because of their superior location. The placement scenario at any institute is directly proportional to its location and proximity to tech hubs. 

A location imparts better industry exposure that forms the foundation for any tech college. Consider the location as the primary factor while choosing your college. The reason I said NITs are better than IIT Patna today is because of their location and the quality of recruiters they attract as a result. 

IIT Patna is a great institute but lacks the recognition yet and thus most recruiters don't visit it. So, look beyond the IIT tag a make a wise decision.

Which course is better: IIT, Madras M.S. by research or IIIT Hyderabad M.Tech in computer science?

AS
Aditi Sengupta Posted On : March 28th, 2023
Studied at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The MS program is solely research-oriented and has minimal research work, while M.Tech is coursework based and has very less research angle. It's up to you to decide which aspect is more suitable for you and then only choose the program.
 

The subject or area of your work defines your MS program because the entire research will be based on that area only. Chronologically, an MS student has to go through these

  • Choose 5 courses related to your area of work and try to complete them within a year
  • Once you are done, start your research work and publish your paper
  • Sit for placements and get placed with a good package
  • Synopsis meeting after which you have to write your these
  • You are ready to leave IIT Madras

There is no fixed duration of the degree and one can even complete it in 2 years. It all depends on your capabilities and your area of research. Some even convert their MS degree into Ph.D. after the 1st year. The faculty pool is very cooperative and guides you continuously throughout your research work. Some important research topics include

  • Computer Architecture
  • Machine learning
  • NLP
  • Speech 

As far as IIIT Hyderabad is concerned, its MTech program is coursework-based will little research in comparison to MS. So make a good choice of both institute and program based on your career prospects and preferences.

Is it good to pursue an M.Tech in Data Analytics at NIT Trichy?

SP
Shankar Pandey Posted On : March 31st, 2023
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2020)

If you are considering pursuing a course in Data Science at NIT Trichy, it may be helpful to understand the differences between the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and Computer Applications (CA) departments. While both departments offer courses in this field, the quality of education and faculty expertise may vary.

It is worth noting that the CSE department at NIT Trichy has been facing a shortage of proper faculty, with some important undergraduate courses being taught by temporary faculty members. This lack of expert faculty in the Data Science domain may be one of the reasons why the course is offered by the CA department instead.

To gain a better understanding of the academic and research profiles of the faculty members in the CA department, you can refer to the institute website for more information. This can help you make an informed decision about which department to choose based on your interests and career aspirations.

It is also important to consider the placement opportunities available after completing the course. While it may be true that certain companies hiring for PG students may not differentiate between candidates from the CSE and CA departments, it is still worth researching the placement records of each department to ensure that you are making the best decision for your future career prospects.

Ultimately, the decision of which department to choose should be based on a variety of factors, including the quality of education, faculty expertise, and career opportunities. By doing your research and carefully weighing your options, you can make an informed decision that will set you on a path toward a successful and fulfilling career in Data Science.

What are the placement statistics of M.Tech CSE at IIT Patna?

Veda Burman Posted On : June 21st, 2023

IIT Patna MTech CSE placements are a bit lower than BTech students as most companies prefer BTech students over MTech students thus limiting their job opportunities. Therefore, IIT Patna MTech should be considered only if you are into research and are willing to Ph.D. after MTec. IIT Patna has excellent faculties for ML and NLP and the IIT tag will be beneficial in pursuing PhD from a foreign university. 

IIT Patna Mtech's most branches like Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Computing, VLSI/Embedded Systems, and Mechanical Engineering secured 100% placement. IIT Patna MTech CSE average package stood at INR 21.94 LPA. 

Ultimately I would recommend you to consider IIT Patna MTech as the last option after considering the top IITs, top NITs, BITS Pilani, and top IIITs especially if you are after placements.

How is the M Tech AI course at IISC Bangalore in terms of placements and future prospects? How is it different from Computational and Data Science MTech programme?

MS
Monika Saha Posted On : July 21st, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

IISC Bangalore introduced the M.Tech AI program in 2019. It is offered by the EECS division. 

For the curriculum,  the basics of optimization, linear algebra, probability, data structure, and algorithms are covered during the first semester. 

M.Tech in AI is different from M.Tech in CDS in terms of core courses. The electives offered in both programs are almost the same.

The IISc Bangalore tag will be very useful in case you go for your Ph.D. in India or abroad. But for that, you need to maintain a good GPA.

The 2021 placement highlights for M.Tech AI (both off-campus and on-campus) are as follows, this was the first M.Tech AI batch-

Particulars

M.Tech AI at IISc Bangalore

PPOs received by

4 students

Highest CTC

50 LPA

Median CTC

24.5 LPA

Average CTC

27.1 LPA

Lowest CTC

13.5 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Microsoft, MasterCard, Myntra, Mercedes, Qualcomm, PayU, Target, Udaan, Sharechat, and Reliance, among others.

All the students were placed. The offers received were Indian.

The CDS, CSE, and AI branches receive similar placement and internship opportunities. The students of all these branches receive offers in data science, machine learning, and software engineering.

Thus, M.Tech in AI at IISc Bangalore is a good branch in terms of placements and prospects. It is similar to the CDS program in many aspects.

What is the use of an MTech in CSE at IIIT Bangalore when we can get 11 LPA just by switching jobs?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 10th, 2023

I completed my M.Tech CSE from IIIT Bangalore some years ago. This makes me eligible to answer your query.

Here are some reasons why this degree is more beneficial for your career than simply switching jobs-

  1. As an M.Tech CSE graduate from IIITB, you’ll be offered much more than 11 LPA. You can expect to get around 15-16 LPA as your starting CTC.
  2. Top companies like Microsoft recruit from the IIITB campus.
  3. Companies like TCS have very low workloads, and the work is mostly brainless. This can make you lazy. An M.Tech course will help exercise your brain.
  4. It’s difficult to switch from service based companies to product-based MNCs. You may end up in a service based company or a product-based startup post-switching.
  5. M.Tech graduates from IIITB are much more likely to get into a product based MNC. 
  6. The college tag will open more opportunities for you career-wise.
  7. You can access good off campus opportunities as Bangalore is the ideal place for tech professionals.
  8. At college, you’ll spend your time studying AI/ML, and developing your coding skills. 
  9. You may not get to develop these abilities at your workplace. They may give you basic support projects, excel sheet work, etc. Then you’ll have to develop your coding skills post work hours. 

Thus, I would recommend you consider an M.Tech CSE from IIITB instead of relying on a job switch.
