Which one should I join: the NIT Surathkal's M.Tech in CSE or the IIT Guwahati's M.Tech in theoretical computer science?

Getting a master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from one of the Indian Universities can feel like being stuck in a place forever.

• If you do not take IISc and the top IITs, no other University or college in India provides a good quality program for Master’s in Computer Science.
• NIT Surathkal is popular for its B.Tech in CSE but not for the Master’s program that the college has to offer.
• It would be advised for you to prefer IIT Guwahati any day since it has been ranked among the Top 8 IITs in the country.
• Several of the recent IITs have been created to serve the purposes of the states.
• These IITs are managed by one of the top 5 IITs in India.
• Most candidates would certainly choose IIT Guwahati over NIT Surathkal for an M.Tech program.
• Assuming you are studying M.Tech to learn, not to get a job then you should definitely prefer IIT Guwahati over NIT Surathkal.
• If you want a job, there are several more ways to do that.
• If you are skilled enough to get admission at IIT Guwahati then you can have a decent job in hand in the future.

If you want to pursue a Master’s program and learn, you would be way ahead in IIT Guwahati than in NIT Surathkal.
