Since you are considering TCS Digital as another option, I am assuming you have decent coding skills. So, you can build your profile while pursuing an MTech in CSE. Unless you have any financial constraints, it's better to complete your MTech first.
IIIT Sonepat: Which one should I choose, NIT Kurukshetra or NIT Bhopal or IIIT Allahabad for an M.Tech in CSE?
I will never recommend you to choose NIT Kurukshetra because the administration is very disappointing and the entire system is in dilapidated condition. The CSE branch specifically is losing its charm. The official records claim some very good professors but the reality is most of them aren’t interested in teaching.
The result is declared after 4 months and the students were given backs by a margin of 1/4 of a mark. The duration of exams is long, giving no time for holidays. The Institute does not encourage any kind of educational tours or summer training. Research work is not promoted in any form. The only reason NIT Kurukshetra is still here is because of the hard work of students who get good packages.
How is the ML and AI culture at IIT Madras? Do MTech CSE students at IIT Madras get internships at Google, Microsoft, etc.?
IIT Madras is the leading IIT in terms of growth in fields like ML and AI. it is taught by the very imminent expert in the field, Professor Balaram Ravindran. He has contributed largely to Machine Learning.
Additionally, MTech students of IIT Madras get the excellent opportunity to intern at MNCs like Microsoft, IBM, etc. IIT Delhi and IIT Madras are the only IITs offering internship opportunities for M.Tech. students. IIT Madras has a separate portal for PG internships like the already established portal for UG Internships. Many PPOs are provided on completion of internships.
Thus, both AI and ML are on the rise, and job opportunities on the same are increasing day by day.
How is it possible that IIIT Bangalore's mTech CSE Average package (27.5LPA) is greater than IIT Guwahati CSE Average package (27.04LPA)?
The difference in the packages is due to the inflated figures released by the institutes. For instance, Microsoft offers 42 LPA packages but the actual in-hand salary is only 13 LPA.
Also, IIIT Bangalore has no core job offers whereas, in IIT Guwahati, you can also explore other domains apart from IT like finance, consulting, analysis, data science, etc. It is exactly why Inthunk placements should never be the criteria to judge the credibility of an institute or program. Rather, we should start considering in-hand averages.
Another possible reason for IIIT Bangalore's better placements is the excellent research-focused culture that provides great knowledge and scope.
How is the M.Tech program in computational science from IISC Bangalore?
IISC Bangalore is the best institution for higher studies in India, in the field of Engineering and sciences. M.Tech at IISc Bangalore is highly reputed and sought after. This course is focused on research and IISC Bangalore is the best institute in our country in terms of research.
In this program, the student has to complete 40 credits, divided into electives (13 credits), softcore (10 credits), and hard-core courses (13 credits). The student also is entitled to complete a 28 credit dissertation project. The elective can be chosen from within/outside the department with the permission of the DCC/Faculty advisor.
The eligibility to get admission in the course is bachelor’s in the stream of Engineering or sciences, and a valid GATE score. Another requirement for selection i.e. the student needs to have a strong mathematical and programming background. Some of the major highlights of this course are:
- This is the first-degree program from a premier institute in our country to train Data scientists.
- Students have to complete a one-year-long practical dissertation project for this course.
- There are opportunities for meritorious students to take up Industry-sponsored fellowships
In the internship hiring placement of the batch 2020-21, the average stipend offered was 57 thousand per month, while the highest stipend offered was 1.15 lakhs per month.
Summarizing, the M.Tech program in computational science from IISC Bangalore is a great course for students with a keen interest in this field.
How is the placement at NIT Hamirpur for M.Tech CSE and mobile computing?
The placement scenario at NIT Hamirpur for MTech CSE and Mobile Computing is decent. Many companies visit NIT Hamirpur every year. Both BTech and MTech students appear for similar companies with only a slight difference in packages. You can easily make it into an MNC if you have a good profile and enough skills.
Samsung R&D visits NIT Hamirpur every year for MTech with decent packages. These companies however have a high cutoff of around 8.0 CGPA. Additionally, many colleges come forward with teaching offers for LPU and TMU.
Here is the placement statistics for the CSE branch at NIT Hamirpur.

Why average salary of IIT Roorkee M.Tech (CSE) is similar to tier-3 (or average) engineering colleges?
Sadly, most companies prefer UG students over PG students because they can get the same job done with a smaller package and they are more flexible than MTech students. There are mainly two types of people who opt for MTech
- Research enthusiasts who target Ph.D.
- People who weren’t able to land a good package after BTech
As far as placements are concerned, those who want to pursue a Ph.D. eventually have zero interest in placements while those who are looking for a job consider an MTech degree as a door to better opportunities and packages.
While some companies offer similar packages and profiles to both BTech and MTech students, most other companies discriminate between them. It’s sad to admit that most companies don’t prefer MTexh students over BTech students. However, some students with exceptionally good performance or skills may land a package of around INR 10 LPA. Other students receive low packages bringing down the overall average CTC of the Institute. This is why the average salary of MTech students at IIT Roorkee is very much similar to that of below-average institutes.
What are the pros and cons of MTech in CSE at IIIT Bangalore?
The iMTech in CSE is a highly regarded and unique program offered by IIIT Bangalore offering excellent exposure to its students. Here are the pros and cons of pursuing this course
Pros:
- IIIT Bangalore has a very diverse and talented peer group because it has no reservation policy.
- The placements have been spectacular from the first batch itself when the median package stood at INR 14.7 LPA.
- IIIT Bangalore is known for its highly experienced and talented faculty. Their profiles are at par with IIT and NIT professors and are also very approachable.
- Located in the IT hub, IIIT Bangalore students receive internship offers from many top firms and IT Giants.
- The college has excellent campus and hostel facilities and every minor inconvenience is taken care of.
Cons:
- The college is CS-oriented and gives little importance to sports and other extracurricular activities. Students are more involved in hackathons and other coding competitions.
- IIIT Bangalore operates from a very small campus of only 10 acres.
- The course offered is a 5-year course rather than the usual 4-year course which requires you to spend an extra year doing an internship or a thesis.
- IIIT Bangalore does not enjoy a very good reputation among recruiters yet mainly because it’s newly established.
- It’s very expensive and the cost of the first year fees of the integrated program is INR ?3.84 Lakhs.
Considering everything, IIIT Bangalore will take a few more years to establish itself and therefore should only be considered if you have no better options.
IIT Delhi Mtech Computer Technology vs IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE. Which is better for placements in product based software companies?
Both IIT Delhi MTech Computer Technology and IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE are excellent engineering programs. However, my personal suggestion is IIT Delhi Ctech. Here’s why
- IIT Delhi offers the best opportunities considering its rank in the top 3 IITs
- IIT Delhi holds the Institute of Eminence Status
- The brand value of IIT Delhi is much higher than the new IIT Hyderabad.
- IIT Delhi being old has a very beautiful campus with great natural beauty. IIT Hyderabad on the other hand has a newly established campu that is still under construction.
- A few major companies don’t visit new IITs like IIT Hyderabad. IIT Delhi, on the other hand, is visited by top IT companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, Ola, Uber, Tower Research, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc
The only disadvantage you might face at IIT Delhi Is the intense competition with CS students as they are all top rankers.
I don’t mean to demean IIT Hyderabad but it’s a fact that the opportunities and exposure that IIT Delhi will offer cannot be compared to IIT Hyderabad.
How is the MTech (CSE) program in Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata? What are the placement stats for an MTech (CSE)?
Heritage Institute of Technology is a very popular and reputed engineering institute and provides very good facilities to its students. According to the reviews online, here’s what I got to know.
- This college is very good to pursue B.Tech in CSE but not a good option to do M.Tech in CSE.
- And this is not only for CS, but for all other departments.
- Although the faculty and the academics are very good in this college, the placements for M.Tech are not upto the mark and it is better not to choose this college to pursue M.Tech.
- To do M.Tech, it will be better to do it from IIT but you will have to appear for GATE exams to get admission in IITs.
- And do note that you will have to be in the top 1000 in GATE to get selected for M.Tech courses at IIT.
- In West Bengal, there is also Jadavpur University which can also be a very good option to pursue M.Tech in CSE.
- You can also appear for the examination PGET and if you can clear this exam, then you will be eligible to take admission in any government engineering college under WBUT.
Hence, instead of taking admission in Heritage Institute of Technology for M.Tech in CSE, it will be better to prepare for GATE exam and qualify for IIT or else take admission in some other better colleges for M.Tech.
